Excellent thread title.

Absolutely agreed.

I loved playing as wormhole occasionally just to break up the long chain of hyperlane games, but I mean, really? It's the best option. Just adds too much to the game.

I also look forward to abandoning my save in a few days when the slew of mods that I use are updated again.

Ground floor and I want to stress that I just fought my first 2.0 war and it was great


In part the reason I loved that war I just fought was because this wasn't the case. I put a listening post on my border Starfort and I was able to see a shitload of intel on my rival.

I like this.

I'm gearing up for my first real war here, haven't seen the listening post at all yet, but keep an eye out.

 The real question is, am I just blind, or are my rally points loving gone in this update?

There's no rally points anymore because military ships can't exist except as fleet members (or traveling to a fleet), and the fleet is the rally point.

It's annoying when I just want to hit C and move my fleet back to the rally point, if I don't have to make repairs, or if where I want it, isn't the nearest port, y'know?

I've fired up a test game (going with the dependable old UNE), and I've been enjoying myself so far. Somehow found a system with something like 40 minerals. :getin: Needless to say had a mad dash to secure it.

Sad that the tailer theme isn't included in the expansion soundtrack - will it ever be available?

I'm sure that there aren't any bad things at all waiting for you in this system. Not a single one.

Oh.

OH.

:ohdear:

I forgot there was a popup talking about a Crystalline Asteroid field...I thought it was talking about another system I'd been surveying at the time.

I should probably build a large fleet, shouldn't I?

:allears:

It's fun! Totally harmless! Nothing to worry about!

There's also a Society tech (that I think is repeatable) that increases Command Limit.

I'm like 80% sure that I found some command limit increases in my tech tree after I got Destroyers researched.. As well, I believe there are buildings/upgrades you can make to your starbases?
