Contacts tells you how many colonies an empire has. Is there any way to see how many systems they have? (other than counting)

Dongattack posted:I feel like i read in a dev diary or something that we got the ability to increase the "size" of planets in this expansion, did i dream that up? I'm sitting here looking at some not ideal prospects of 12-16 size planets and if i can increase their size later i should probably colonize some of them. It's the Ascension Perk "Mastery of Nature". 33% discount on clearing blockers + increase size of planet edict. New: my science ship got amoeba'd but my scientist survived? He went back to the pool.

So when you reinforce a fleet with multiple designs, and you can afford only one (but any design), does it prioritize the more costly ones, the most powerful ones, or?

What happens with system ownership when you technological enlightenment a pre-ftl civ? Do they get ownership of the outpost? What if you have a colony in system?

It's really difficult/complex (in a good way) to balance expansion and consolidation; systems have tons of resources now and you always have that 10 mineral system just 2 jumps out from your borders so you must claim it. In the meantime there's 25/30 of each resource unmined within your borders. Then you add stations and colonies into the mix, and it gets even more complex. It's a really different feel, the game start. A great patch/expansion! Questions: what does a starbase require, in order to be "dockable" by a fleet (i.e. repairs/upgrade and lower maintenance while docked)? Just the first upgrade, a shipyard? How many shipyards do a fleet upgrade/repair occupy? Is it always the one, regardless of size?

OwlFancier posted:Generally I would suggest trying to fill out your systems before you expand, systems are very rich now and you need to keep building research at least to keep ahead of the expansion costs. Yeah my first playthrough there was always a better system to claim, ended up backfilling way after the first 50 years. What about colonizable planets, do you still wait to fill your systems or beeline for those?

Try as I might, I can't brain how to manage the fleet manager. I have 2 ship types: Corvette and Destroyers. Each has 2 designs: Torp and autocannon CVs, PD and Plasma DDs. I have a Fleet template fully built with 10 Torp CVs and 10 Plasma DDs. I want to change that to 5 of each. So I reduce the amount of each existing design to 5, add the 2 other designs and raise the quantity to 5 each. What happens is I get a Fleet with 10/5 Torp CV, 10/5 Plasma DD, 0/5 Autocannon CV and 0/5 PD DDs. How do I get that to be 5/5 for each design? Do I have to manually remove the extra ships from the fleet? Where do I do that? Can I remove 5 of the Plasma DDs, retrofit the other 5 still in the fleet, then merge again?

Not sure if it's new, but I completed the Irassian chain and the homeworld was spawned into a new system that wasn't there anymore, it just created a hyperlane from one of my border systems. Didn't it use to be an existing system?

Lum_ posted:This was pretty annoying! Glad it's fixed. Still nothing for fleet builder weirdness though (I suspect it's related to how it interacts with auto-upgrading ships including the 3 you start the game with). Nope, it's getting its own patch rather than a hotfix.

Undocumented (I think) change to fleet manager: when you hit reinforce fleet and you have too many of a certain design, it will automatically detach those extra ships and create a new fleet template with the leftovers

Just explored my first wormhole as UNE and the other end is in a pathetic, one planet/10 systems civ, who's like 3 tech levels behind me and maybe a fleet cap that's 1/4th of my fleet strength; I suspect they were a pre-FTL that randomly evolved to space age at some point. They're 10-15 jumps away from any other empire, so they were happily claiming their territory unimpeded. Naturally, I brought democracy to their space and claimed + conquered half of it in a quick war. Thinking about it from their point of view: they're a newly spacefaring race who's just begun to expand and looking to colonize, when one day out of that strange wormhole out comes an invasion force with impossible numbers and technology, and subjugates them. I was their end-game crisis. Stellaris is really good, you guys.

numptyboy posted:I wish there was some sort of built up to stuff like pirates. Whenever they show up they always seem to be 50percent stronger than my fleets combined. I think you must be doing something weird with fleets - my pirates are always roughly equal to one of my fleets (with poo poo design), so about half my naval capacity. What difficulty are you playing on? Also, it took me 240 years to figure this out: you can build defense platforms on non-upgraded outposts. That helps with pirates, a lot.

The automated dreadnought rocks but keep it in its own fleet: 1) It's slow as poo poo 2) it has a Jump Drive Also - not sure if this changed with 2.0 but Uplift is back to being doable in an owned system again, not neessary to colonize the planet anymore.

The unity buff is really noticeable. I went to having 160 months to the next level, with about 20% done, to one level done and 20% towards the following one, with a 40 months wait to the end. It not only became additive but also 1% rather than 2% per system. I am not sure if I was already this high but my mineral income is +650 now, and I could have sworn I was at +300 earlier. If anything, it solves my energy problem at least.

I really like the change to militarist ethos. Having reduced war exhaustion makes much more sense, thematically, and is less boring / more useful than "+ army damage"

Thesaurasaurus posted:Ugh, I opted into the 2.0.2 beta and the loving Enigmatic Fortress is STILL resurrecting every ten days while the Situation Log refuses to let me actually begin the special projects. Is it just absolutely hosed for pre-beta saves or am I missing something here? I had the same thing. I just chose the various options as they popped up, the only choice you need the situation log for is the initial step (blow up the airlock or power surge); it will repower every 10 days but you will get the next stage (if you choose the options right) every 30-60, so just park a fleet on top of it, with a science ship orbiting, and the reborn fortress gets instagibbed every time. Your situation log will also fill with the first step, just ignore it. Also, it will stop repowering once you finish the chain and claim the system.

I think the only bad weapons this patch are fighters and PD/Flak. I have a fleet of torpedo corvettes and double afterburner cruisers that really works well for occupation, zipping around flipping outposts and catching reinforcements/damaged fleets, while the 2 other "standard" fleets take care of the battles and planets.

Jazerus posted:i played it yesterday, and i'd stick with 2.0.1 until they fix the bug in the beta that makes traditions too cheap - which is worse than the status quo in 2.0.1 where they're too expensive, imo. Wait, where does it say it's bugged? I thought they just fixed the multiplicative/additive issue, and made each system worth 1% rather than 2% penalty. Isn't that working as intended?
