ProfessorCirno posted:I can only imagine the rotating presidency of federations is there as a bizarre balance mechanic to ensure you don't just get a free second fleet, because otherwise it is too inane to grasp. It rotates so that all presidents experience centrifugal force which is far more cost efficient than artificial gravity

MilkmanLuke posted:I almost exclusively play this in a regular multiplayer game, and we built a group of NPC regulars over time. Many came from my initial creations, but a lot of the others were people's memorable races from earlier games. I can tell you that it is definitely worth your time to grind out a bunch of custom races and set them to always spawn. Yeah any species I play a decent game with gets put on the 'maybe spawn list'. It's nice seeing them turn up again in the next cycle

Conskill posted:That pre-FTL start up mod someone posted earlier affects the early game in ways I generally like, related to that. More focus on internal development and getting a strong research base before the "real game" begins. I really like the idea - but how does it work when you're 95% bound to your starting system? Do the in system (plus anything the mod adds) mechanics have enough depth to support the new early game?

People want to abstract the surface combat onto just rolling up with spaceships. They want to abstract the spaceship movement to be only between mapgame provinces where each one is a system. They want the surface construction taken out as it is unecessary. They want ship design removed and simplified as ship classes. Like I can understand some of it, but once you've done all this what game is even left? A phone puzzle game of 'spend 2 minerals to gain this +3 mineral system'?

The system map is for looking at your pretty tracts of space much like the ME1 system maps  It needs work but I think I'd prefer it to the very abstracted view of stars only. I want to feel this is my system, not my resource counter.

Just had the start of a great game cockblocked by the draconian ironman system. I got vassalised by a massively superior empire in the first few years, and remember that means no colonisation outside your existing territory (I had none). I got some decent asteroid mining going via a frontier outpost, but no hope of catching up to my overlord. Then my explorers found some distant, pristine worlds in the shadow (just outside the firing range) of the enigmatic fortress. I decided to build colony ships and abandon my homeworld, declaring independence and fleeing into unexplored space. Except - the influence requirement to settle the new worlds was over the influence cap, and even if not it would take like 20 years to generate the amount required. And because it was goddamn ironman I couldn't even console it in, like any decent DM would have allowed. Due to the draconian save system I couldn't even turn ironman off in the save file. Battlestar Galactica experience ruined  Also I was playing as the Radchaai from Ancillary Justice, so now I'm gonna drink some tea and sulk aristocratically Tldr never use ironman, just don't reload.

VirtualStranger posted:"Corporate Dominion" also shouldn't be limited to egalitarians. (I mean, what the gently caress? That doesn't make any sense.) I think the idea is that if the society doesn't even pretend that you too can be the head of a major corporation then it's not really a corporate dominion. It's just a feudal autocracy where the rulers are called shareholders.

I would just like more unique, specialised planets. I want to think of XYZ system and know that it's a great trade nexus, or some neutral city full of spies who were sent there to watch the other spies, or graveyard of empires where the dregs of civilisations are all piled up on top of each. other. If you want to ingrain that into someone's thinking I guess it would have to be something the player would have to pay attention to... I dunno, maybe through very powerful (and varied) modifiers that you would have to pay attention to to remain competitive?

Baronjutter posted:I've found about 50% of the time they eventually just switch back. So you take that spiritualist authoritarian empire and liberate them into an egalitarian materialist empire. They are good and your friends, but all their pops are still authoritarian and spiritualist. After many many years a few pops might actually switch to the new state ethos but not enough, and the huge faction pressures result in them embracing authoritarianism or spiritualism. Before you know it they are evil again and hate you. WarOnTerror.txt
