Oh wow quite alot has changed since Synthetic Dawn's release. So I see you cant use your early corvette fleet to explore now huh. E: Recruitment takes energy not influence what  .

Is there a standout weapon nowadays or should I be mixing and matching? I'm just using lasers 110 years in with a fleet power of 17k and it's been fine so far but I've only fought a couple of my neighbors.

What is going on with the fleet manager, I can't even figure out why this thing exists let alone how it works. Why is it listing those 6 destroyers as "0/6"? Why is it separating both destroyers into 2 groups, they are the exact same class of ship with the exact same loadout. What does reinforce do, just queues up a bunch more ships from local shipyards to fill out the ranks or what?

appropriatemetaphor posted:They probably need to be upgraded, then it'll show 6/6. It's saying you've got 0/6 of the current design. Nope they cant be upgraded any further. In fact now I think it may be something with those ships in particular since I cant upgrade them even when I do change the design. E: When I hit retrofit, the ships disappear from the template but remain in the fleet somehow. Axetrain fucked around with this message at 22:40 on Feb 24, 2018 |

Space Skeleton posted:Try this: Pull the ships out of the fleet and remove that design from the fleet template. Go into the ship designer and change the design for that ship in some way, even just swapping an armor and a shield position. Update the ships in their little fleet that is just them. Select the original flight and shift+click the fleet of ships you just upgraded and merge the fleets. Don't do this while the game is paused, put it on lowest speed if you usually do this stuff paused. That should add the ships back into the fleet template. Switched out the shield capacitor for Aux fire-control. It only allows me to upgrade one group of destroyers but not the other, and still separates them even when in their own fleet.  E: After upgrading, still separated.

appropriatemetaphor posted:What's the fleet design template say? I had some initial weirdness when I didn't make a fleet in the fleet designer, but like manually built some stuff.   Thanks for trying guys but I think it's just a bug ill have to deal with for now. OwlFancier posted:Convenience? It automatically just build them from the closest shipyard i think and assigns them to that fleet, if you're running several fleets it's a lot less faff. Yeah I could see if I could get my templates to work it would be convenient during peacetime. But in a war I'm going to want to queue up ships from multiple different yards.

Eltoasto posted:Any trick for the automated dreadnought? Right now I am just using it as a guard dog for one end of my empire, but eventually I'd like to take it out and move past. I hit it with about 35k fleet power and didn't have any problems. Apparently it is shield heavy so I brought mass drivers on my ships.

Is there a way to get rid of starbases, after a war I'm one over my limit and want to get rid of a backwater base somewhere. Also I think my precursor event is bugged. I know where the last system is but when I go there nothing happens? There isn't any option for science ships to research anything either.

I don't zoom in that often but when there's a particularly huge battle I do. Set it down to slow speed and check out all the sweet action as it unfolds. The cool animations/effects and ship designs aren't lost on me at least.

I've got 6 fleets and I'm slipping over it all the time in my Plain ol large size galaxy. 1000 doesn't sound like that much to me, I went over that all the time before 2.0. Granted it is 2500 and post crisis but I've still got quite a bit more to conquer for my Ironman victory achievement.

  Ironman done. Would have stopped this game earlier if I wasn't fishing for achievements. I wish in the end game there was someway to increase influence faster, I spent alot of time just waiting for it to build up so I could make claims.

Yeah I think my problem with the game is that most of the cool toys come way at the end of the game, like post crisis late. Too many are gated behind very late game tech or most of all behind multiple ascension perks. E: Full disclaimer I've never tried playing a super tall empire in this game though.

How many of you favor Imperial Prerogative, cause I have a hard time passing it up once I hit my second ascension perk. The only things else I might want are trying out the new Mastery of Nature or seeing if Executive Vigor is still worth it even after the nerf.

Rynoto posted:Huge galaxy, 30 empires, grand/normal admiral (non-scaling), high aggressiveness, max primitives, 5 fallen empires. So much backstabbing and war that by the time endgame rolls around you're down to a handful of conquerors and a large federation or two while everyone stares at each other with massive fleets. I think I'll try these settings out my next game. Curious to see how bad the slowdown is once I hit mid-game. Axetrain fucked around with this message at 05:05 on Oct 17, 2018 |

Just thought I'd post some cool battle pics for the hell of it. My sweet post-game psychic bird empire just waiting around for the end game crisis to show up.  The not-Tyranids finally arrive.  My largest ever in game fleet, about 700-800k. Led by my Ether Drake  . Praethoryn are about half mine plus my ships are built to counter them.  My drake nopes it on out of here at about this point.  Tachyons doing work.  Now the plasma.  Range closed, they have a real hard time hitting corvettes.  Grand Melee.  And Done. Barely even phased my fleet. Sorry, I just wanted to post some space vanity pics.
