This may have been answered already, but if I take the marauder civic, how do I use the cb? I don't have any valid cb on nearby empires.

hobbesmaster posted:Anyone else a bit disappointed with the Gaian creation perk? It takes so long (same as before, was always too long) and doesn't improve things THAT much compared to teraforming to the correct habitability or gene modding. I feel like taking the ascension perk and becoming master terraformers it should take the same time as the other options. Teraforming in general is kind of weak IMO. I feel like if you've gone down the route of specializing in it (which pretty much requires you to forgo the other 3 ascension types), it should be a hell of a lot faster and cheaper than it is. And for that matter if it's smaller than size 20 the size should be increased to 20 when teraforming if you've taken the capstone perk.

The Wraith spawned in one of my systems, quickly destroying the outpost there. It then jumped one over to my border, destroying that outpost. And then finally it jumped out of my borders, right into the Ether Drake. The Drake didn't even get down to 80% armor by the time the Wraith was dead. I'm glad the Wraith went out of my empire instead of into it, but maybe it's pathfinding should be updated a little bit so it doesn't suicide into other guardians. The Drake is parked at a crossroads, one path of which is a dead-end with the Sanctuary system in it. Maybe that's where the Wraith was going? Also, for whoever it was earlier in the thread that said to trade active sensor links with the Xenophile FE, thank you. As soon as I did that I was able to see pretty much the entire galaxy, because the FE has sensor range through all the wormholes. There are a few isolated blocks I don't know about, but it showed me where all the Guardians are, as well as every other empire + marauders.

King Doom posted:Things that are fun: getting the Dragonscale armor for the very first time only to discover that it's literally identically to Crystal Forged Plating. It's entirely different. Dragon armor adds armor, the crystal plate adds hull. Armor is better than hull, since no weapons are crappy against hull, but tons of weapons do bonus damage to it.

It's not to say that the Crystal Plate is bad, especially with how early you can get it. I'm using a mix of Dragonscale + Crystal Plate on my ships, which when combined with the Regenerative bit makes for some really nice EHP.

ConfusedUs posted:Consecrated Worlds is a godsend (see what I did there) for Life-Seeded empires or any run where you find a huge planet right next door. Dropping it on a big-rear end planet does a LOT for you and helps you in the early game where little boosts turn into massive advantages later. The problem with it is that it runs out and you have to redump a bunch of influence. It should be like the Hallowed World where it lasts forever.

I really wish that once you fully converted your entire species to whatever new genemodded traits you chose, the original would disappear from the species list. It gets extremely cluttered with all the various species in there with sub-species under them.

I'm not getting that, both for my main species and then all the various slaves I've uplifted over the course of the game. There is a 0-pop main species, and then a 6 pop or whatever sub-species.

Mustang posted:So I had this science crew early in game out scanning planets. It disappears and reappears with some of the crew missing. Later the rest of the crew reappears on a new ship that's similar to other science ships I have but called something like "science ship from the beyond". I used to always delete that science ship because it couldn't be upgraded. Now it's a nice free science ship, too bad it doesn't come with a free scientist too.

Is there any way to build additional construction ships in a sector? With as slow as travel time is, it takes decades for a new sector to build mining stations everywhere. It doesn't help that they will go back and forth from one end of their sector to the next, constantly changing what system they are working in.

Is there any way to edit the automated dreadnought once it's already spawned, so it isn't stupidly slow? It would pretty much double my fleet power if I could actually use it, but unless I send it somewhere a few years before I actually need it, it will never participate in a single battle.

Libluini posted:Trip report: While most space nations seem to struggle at Captain or below, exterminators and ravenous hives don't have this problem. I've put one of each into my current game and they are rampaging across the galaxy, aided by the dumb decisions of their enemies. I agree, and always have one of each in my games. The only problem is that they are the exact same empires every time. I wish there was a way to tell it to auto-generate 1-15 (slider + random button) of the 'always war' empires. Purifiers, exterminators, assimilators, etc. Like what we have with the marauder slider now.

I'm a fan of Medium, 4-arm, 0.75x. Larger maps make both my desktop and laptop slow to a crawl, and I much prefer the extra chokepoints of 0.75x over 1x. I do turn Wormholes + Gateways up to 2x, so mid-game there are a lot more options for fast travel.

If I have 88k power in a torp corvette fleet, think that is good enough to take on a 90k FE fleet? I think it's the Xenophile one, they have the Mother/Brother/Sister gaia planets. I have a second 50k fleet of corvettes, but they are on the other side of the galaxy in another war. I could build a couple layers of defensive stations and pull them back to help out, but if I don't need to it would be a lot better. They are the only FE in this game, so I didn't taken the damage perk. I did psionic in this game though, so they are at 90% evasion.

Shadowlyger posted:I'm pretty sure you'll get clowned on. FE fleets tend to have lots of point defense. That's what I'm worried about. I need to fight them soon though, since I'm in danger of them waking up before I'm ready. I guess if I insult them they'll attack me, which at least means I get the defensive war bonus. And it's probably time to start building a battleship fleet.

I guess if I insult them they'll attack me, which at least means I get the defensive war bonus. And it's probably time to start building a battleship fleet. Follow-up to this. I insulted the FE, and they attacked me a few months later. Except instead of sending their fleets the 6 jumps they needed to in order to get to my border, they started off on a 60-70 jump trip in the opposite direction. So I waited until they were about 15 systems into their trip, and just attacked their home worlds. I lost about 8 corvettes and 10 of the 30 cruisers I built, but managed to take out both of their stations. I'm guessing it would have been a much closer fight if I had been forced to defend against their fleets. I have no idea why they didn't just come straight into my empire, or at the very least use their jump drives to hurry back once I started attacking them. They just continued on their merry way, and when I finally invaded their last planet they still had 30 systems to go before they made it to my other border.

Gadzuko posted:No, the sector ai builds as much as it can with the minerals it has available. You can check this easily on the sector screen, mousing over the small thought bubble icon will show you exactly what the sector is building and what it is saving up minerals for. There is a delay of a few days after a build completes before it starts a new one but it's not much. I'm not certain the sector AI is working properly either. My last game I had a sector with 120k minerals saved up, and tons of mostly empty planets. As someone else mentioned earlier, I think it's 1 building at a time per sector, not one per planet. Also, a sector bug I've run into. Never let them colonize, always do it yourself. The only place the sector AI will build colonization ships from is the sector capital. This wasn't so bad with the old jump drives where crossing the galaxy wouldn't take 5 years, but it's a horrible problem now.
