What's the best way to generate a CB to take planets from neighbors? Making claims looks like it's going to cost way too much influence...

So the Great Khan is busy pushing my poo poo in and alone has a fleet triple mine. Is there a "swear fealty" option that will show up?

Dongattack posted:So whats the point of setting a homebase for a fleet? It's where it'll form up when you initially build it, but is there any point to updating the homebase closer to the front after that? Yeah - that's where it goes on return and I think also on upgrade.

Dongattack posted:Thanks! Yeah, they are cheating very hard. 539/190 command limit on their fleet. Man that really kills all fun i was having up until this point. It's okay if its a loving endgame crisis or something, but not a equivalent empire on normal difficulty. Are those the marauders (always hostile to everyone, insane stacks from day one) or just another empire?

Space Skeleton posted:There is a jump button at the top of the fleet window when you have a fleet selected which lets you skip hyperlanes for one jump, but puts the fleet in a cooldown state where their combat effectiveness is cut in half for a bit once they arrive. You can dramatically cut travel times by leaping across spiral arms or past nests of systems this way. What sucks it that you don't seem to be able to set a "always use jump drives" policy for a fleet or ship. There is never a time I don't want my constructors to use jump drive.

Jabarto posted:What are people's thoughts on the different war doctrines? Especially the no-retreat one; +33% fire rate sounds crazy but on the other hand, no retreats ever means you're going to lose a lot of ships in each fight, especially if you use a lot of corvettes and destroyers. No retreats also means you might end up with more war exhaustion than the other guy even from a winning battle. Also, as to fleet composition: with the fleet manager now I can finally bear to organize my fleets into the appropriate (by which I mean every ship size contributes the same to the command limit) ratios: 16 corvettes: 8 destroyers: 4 cruisers: 2 battleships: 1 titan.

Magil Zeal posted:I'm slowly learning you should probably never look at what the AI empires are doing on their planets because now I'm asking do they never, ever build the unique capital-only buildings? I've looked at the capitals of pretty much every other AI empire and not a single one has the Research Institute, Galactic Stock Exchange, etc.. Probably too busy spending their influence on claiming your systems.

How many titans can I build, and where do I go to see that? I thought it would be one per star base capable of building a titan, but that doesn't seem to be the case (I have 4 star bases that can build titans but it only let me build 3)?

Baronjutter posted:Why does the scientist need to be in orbit? Why can't they assist from the ground? Maybe just have idle scientists automatically provide some sort of empire-wide bonus comparable to the current assist research system? I would like this. I end up just assigning my scientists to the first X planets I see because I can't be bothering figuring out where they should optimally go.

The more I play 2.0, the more it seems like the developers never use the autodesign feature. It just interacts so badly with the fleet manager.

The Paradox bug forums have been reproducing and logging a lot of things reported, so I'm not sure about that.

toasterwarrior posted:I thought they hotfixed the "pops being purged not producing resources" thing? I'm turning these c'thulu fuckers into batteries and I'm not getting any juice. Make sure you have patch 2.0.1 [checksum fb8b] installed. toasterwarrior posted:Wait, do you actually need low unrest to turn aliens into food/batteries? Nah. If you try and turn aliens into food/batteries, their unrest will be pegged at 100%. At least in 2.0.0, that drops their output to 0. Supposedly fixed in 2.0.1 but see above.

So I keep not paying attention and then looking back and noticing that a bunch of neighboring systems have gone unclaimed and are now spawning pirates. Is this just the AI getting into wars and having its outposts shot to poo poo, or is there another reason this would happen?

So far the biggest benefit of having a Colossus is that you no longer need claims - you have the equivalent of a claim on every system of your war opponents.

Axetrain posted: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. You want the downgrade button - it's on the same tab where you upgrade a starbase, on the left side. After downgrading enough times it will turn into "dismantle."

Baronjutter posted:Yeah for the first time ever my materialist empire got a psionic expert scientist from a random skill boost while surveying and it let me get a couple low level psionic techs, got +10% unity out of it so that's nice. Id still love to be able to interact with the shroud in some limited way as a materialist, maybe gain some little passive boost from it. If you get those techs, you can take the Psychic Ascension Path even as a materialist. I did it in my current playthrough.

Dongattack posted:Man, build fleet manager is really fucky on the beta. All my fleets think they are fully reinforced, but do infact miss a fair few ships that are lost in constant build ques that i cannot cancel. Hope they iron out the kinks soon. Autoupgraded ships do not play nicely with the Fleet Manager. You will do better hand-designing if you want the Fleet Manager.

Dongattack posted:Ugh, that's too much micromanagement for me. Is there a way to delete the "fleet" status from a fleet without disbanding the ships and then make them into a new fleet? P sure i could reset the build que if that can be done. You can take one fleet and separate out all ships of a type, etc., which will create a new fleet. Or you can just click on the fleet manager to reduce a type. There are some definite bugs in the fleet manager to be worked out. What I have done is to take autogenerated designs and make an insignificant change before using those ships to build my fleets. Every so often, I create a new design based off the current state of autogenerated, delete the old one and upgrade. I find it easier than building fleets without the fleet manager.

War exhaustion is based on your losses as a percentage of fleet cap. The winner / loser is irrelevant and in fact removed in the latest beta patch. If you hit 100 WE the other side can force you into a status quo peace.

Lake Effect posted:Which of my points isn't common sense? I'm obviously speculating anyways. Just think about this misuse of the common green and what happens if fewer people buy certain kinds of expansions at full price. There are consequences to group behavior. Consider that people still buy hardbacks despite knowing cheaper paperbacks are coming later.

Anyone have any tips for maximizing the fleet power of your Citadels? I'm looking at the last achievement I could pull off in this current game - Citadel over 40K fleet power. I'm stuck at around 36K with endgame technology levels, though, so I'm really not sure how this is going to work unless I spend a truly inordinate amount of time researching repeatable technologies.

Zulily Zoetrope posted:What kind of gear is it running? I think guided weapons give the most fleet power per slot, and that 8 defense platforms contribute more than one ion cannon. Matter Disintegrators - the Unbidden weapon. Zulily Zoetrope posted:Outside of that, there's an ascendancy perk that lets you build more defense platforms, and if you're not a pacifist, adopting pacifism will change one of the Supremacy traditions to buff them. Capped all my traditions already but will see if I can adopt pacifism. AtomikKrab posted:Or just keep repeating techs that upgrade weapons/armor/defense platforms/etc At around 100 months per tech, not interested.
