daily reminder that stellaris will never be bought by me until meme crisis ship that eats worlds, people, and eventually stars, and then fucks off to another galaxy for an endless buffet is implemented
Jaxson Edwards
Is Horatio 4d perfection?
Noah Scott
I'd very much like to see a 3D model of a default Stellaris galaxy, except all stars with wormholes cover each other, representing 0 distance.
Jordan Brown
riftborn are 5d goddesses
Isaac Phillips
migratory planet devouring megaships either player or AI crisis controlled would be awesome
Noah Butler
user, while you're technically right, implementing variable velocity along hypermemes just so travel time can be preserved in exchange for distance is kind of a workaround to just making it 3d in the first place.
That said, hyperlanes actually having some travel time and bigger/stabilized hyperlanes making ships move faster would be an interesting mechanic.
It'd be pretty interesting, but I assume it'd look like a bunched up napkin. Even more bunched up if you overlay systems with gates,
Eli Butler
>can only colonize planets inside your borders Okay so hol up lmao
Let me try to understand this brilliant new system. You are only allowed to colonize new planets when they're in your borders, but planets in your borders that don't have a base built inside them will spawn pirate fleets about as strong as your main one every other month. Essentially, you're either forced to have an ugly fucking swiss cheese empire with your improvements constantly being blown up because planets no longer can grow their borders, or you have you spend 100 years slowly building starbases up to the planet you want to colonize because the new movement changes make actually getting around take forever.
Are there people who are actually defending this shit? It does nothing other than make the early and mid game much more tedious and boring and time consuming.
Anthony Cooper
>this guy slaps your planets ass >what do?
Alexander Barnes
Why can't I declare a rivalry? also how do i get more influence?
Adrian Russell
>distance must scale with time nope
Hunter Gutierrez
I'd give a Riftborn 5d simultaneously.
Andrew Thomas
...
Gavin Collins
you need to border empires to rival them nowadays it's as stupid as it sounds
Gavin Perez
???
Lucas Russell
the prethoryn scourge queen should have been reclassed to a colossus class, that would be a fun way to adquire one, since it requires to leave the scourge with some territory for the event to spawn or maybe its a colossus, haven't see the scouge in any game since 2.0 and the multiple crisis mod I used is dead now
Levi Wood
its not a "workaround". its literally projecting on 2d becuase 2d is easier to see and manipulate. a 3d star field is full of horrors. especially big ones. you cant tell up from down, left, right or whatever.
Lucas Reed
In an infinite, homogeneous volume, you'd be right. Thankfully, a galaxy is not homogenous (it has a definite structure), and it can still be 3d while aligned to the galactic plane!
You're wrong anyways; Sword of the Stars pulled it off just fine.
Jaxon James
*but system in your borders that don't have a base built
Fuck I'm mad this whole new system is one of the worst changes to a game I've ever seen. I would have been fine with hyperlanes only or smaller fleets or starbased but this system of having to build shit around every single system you own unless you want pirates to spawn is retarded
Nolan Ramirez
You guys are making me want to buy Endless Space 2 and play with Horatio.
Camden Cruz
could also be a new type of crisis entirely with a bunch of different mechanics not just them having mega ships that shit out other ships as they go around collecting resources but if they do well enough to stockpile a massive amount of resources they can occupy a planet transforming it slowly into another world ship and maybe have them send out smaller raid ships that go around destroying mining stations and stealing pops to for slaves and course they wouldn't actually have a map presence, just leave huge empty areas in their wake stripped of their resources (with maybe a big identifier on the map to indicate where their worldships currently are)
Nathaniel Morris
...
Andrew Hernandez
get ready to have my cherryh popped
Alexander Morris
what the fuck is this bullshit system?
Jack Lee
Scaling science and unity costs are fucking retarded.
Wyatt Baker
sword of the stars isnt a "galaxy" and yet it was still bad enough on largest map sizes. 1000 stars in 3d space is retarded. try finding one specific star in the middle. youd go nuts
Chase Martinez
War exhaustion is much less bad once you realize it's NOT a replacement of warscore but instead a replacement of the "hey white peas now or I eat all ur influence".
Jayden Cook
they were okay before as planets output enough resources to offput their penalty outposts not so much
do yourself a favor and change the 0.02 to 0.005 in the configs
Jonathan Myers
Are you just bad? SotS was perfectly fine to work with, and the shape doesn't matter as to it not being a galaxy.
Jeremiah Morgan
>alien specimen procurement procs >
Brandon Morris
sots was 40 stars or something on max size. your talking a factor of 25.
Jack Butler
Seems fine to me. t. SOTS vet.
Anthony Williams
Quick question is war weariness dumb as fuck? Quick question 2 Is there a solution to it or am I blind?
Kayden Cooper
You know i've been trying to give this patch a chance but god it just fucking blows so hard. I've tried a million different playstyles and it's just broken, everything feels like it takes fucking forever and nothing happens and then you finally have your first war and the warscore system is fucking bullshit. why are my fanatic purifiers/devouring swarm/determined exterminators so fucking "exhausted" anyway from a war that's barely had any casualties or negative consequences? They should be thrilled to be doing exactly what they are designed for! I actually think the game was made worse by this patch
Charles Jackson
In a better game, you could ask each empire for the specimens in their territory
John Smith
>Sots >40 stars What the fuck are you talking about? It was at least in the hundreds, but I forget the actual max.
Jace Clark
Where do you go to see the expansion penalty?
Thomas Bennett
First the shitty civ expansion, now the shitty stellaris expansion. 4x is suffering
Gavin Wilson
can you get a ss of the 350 star field?
Alexander Adams
You don't.
Juan Green
How stable is the maximum star, max size game with max alieuns, including max pre-star races and other bullshit maxed?
Adrian Roberts
Are there any mods that increase tech progressions? I hate that Stellaris is a numbers game from start to finish and that the difference between weapons of different tech levels is so miniscule. Fallen empires hvae fleet strengths of 40k+ with a dozen ships and yet even when I have exhausted all non-repeatable tech options I still need massive fleets to approach the same strength.
Leo Howard
Sure
You see SOTS has this really handy thing called a galactic axis. Tells you where stuff is at a glance.
Asher Cooper
>alien specimen procurement
Hunter Baker
bravo wiz
Xavier James
except in the middle where you cant tell foreground from background
Christopher Gutierrez
really makes you think
Carson Johnson
>Morigi Hiver for life, featherfuck.
Nolan Foster
Did they emagency FTR away with no rosses?
Juan Collins
The middle is where the axis meet.
Note to mention the parallax error showing when you rotate your view. It's actually extremely easy to find a planet by using these two methods. Not to mention a post it note system that allows you to tag important systems.
Brody Bennett
Then rotate the galaxy, user.
Charles Miller
in the middle cluster, the core. take two stars next to each other. look by eye which one is closer. if it takes you more then 5 secs its too long.
Aiden Ortiz
So in an effort to have fun with how shitty the systems in 2.0 are I'm thinking
>slider for hyperlane connections set to minimum, the game basically requires chokepoint with the changes they made if you want to have fun >tech/unity set to fastest >habitable planets set to maximum What other changes in the settings should I make?
Brayden King
What? I don't understand what you're saying. You need to build outposts in every system that you want to expand to now, but you don't need to upgrade them to starbases.
On systems with with your populated planets, you *may* need to upgrade to starbases to prevent pirate spawns, I'm not sure. I leave most of my planets with outposts only and I've had only one pirate spawn that actually hurt me since my fleet was on the other side of the map. You absolutely don't need to upgrade to starbase in systems that you own that don't have populated planets in them.
Jaxon Hall
I suspect I can read two system names and click on two different systems within 5 seconds user.
Gavin Jenkins
>150 corvette spam
You deserve whatever bullshit system you get. Also I don't know what you're complaining about in the screenshot.
Henry Parker
im not asking you to click. im asking you to identify the relative positions of two stars that appear close to each other from your perspective
Easton Hernandez
Or I could rotate the galaxy some snd see which one is further away, which takes two seconds at max.
This isn't hard, user.
Julian James
War exhaustion depends on ships lost/total naval capacity only, not whoever has ships remaining at the end of a battle.
Gabriel Campbell
Corvette spam is actully really bad for war exhaustion
Henry Johnson
you need 3 points to identify parallax error. you cant do it with 2 points
Nicholas Anderson
So I just zoom in?
You have a full 360 degree camera range pitch and yaw. you can zoom in this far with pic related as well.
Benjamin Stewart
Thankfully I don't need to limit myself to a small change in angle, I can turn the galaxy a whole 90 degrees if I want.
Wyatt Green
the pic proves my point. its a clusterfuck. how far are the blue fleets away from each other? how far are all the blue fleets away from the purple fleet?
Xavier Sanders
>If I'm not constantly crunching numbers I'm not having fun
Hudson Nguyen
Is there a mod that fixes UNE? Apparently it's bugged and doesn't do shit in any game it's in.
Carson Young
Then you just change your point of reference to where you can see where they are, user.
Jaxson Gonzalez
HAK HAK HAK
Ayden Baker
>i can turn the whole galaxy to find one small distance if i want! yea you go do that lol. meanwhile projections are for everyone else not autistic
I've never noticed the UN being bugged any more than other empires.
Luke Mitchell
I desire to fornicate with Wiz,
Oliver Scott
Is there a way to rescind a claim on a system in Stellaris?
Because if not, I've made a huge mistake.
Jackson Anderson
Do as all a favour and contract HIV beforehand.
Mason Perez
M-MUGANI?!
Nathaniel Adams
>being able to tell distances between enemy fleets is "number crunching" fucking lol
there isnt one single reference in a 3d field. order to find out the relative distance of 3 fleets against 1, you need several references.
Isaac Turner
are outposts the only way to expand your borders now? My pops are growing and I haven't really seen an increase in my borders.
Lincoln Mitchell
6.1LY.
It's far better when you see it in motion.
Grayson Jenkins
>all this talk about math/s and not about neat mechanics that should be added to stellaris ur mom gay lul
Christian Foster
Clearly Imperialism will now be properly balanced against democracy
Adrian Russell
except its a strategy game and it does matter
one down 3 to go
Camden Collins
Yes, you only expand into systems buy building outposts. 100 minerals 60 influenze 0 upkeep
Jack Hernandez
>there are actually people defending forced status quo on the Stellaris forums Why? Seriously what the fuck? Why would people actually a prefer a bullshit gamey system that takes away player agency like this?
Asher Price
I'm fairly certain you just lack the ability to visualized 3d space, user. I'm sorry for your disability.
Andrew Harris
Anyone? It's sort of hard to win a war when I need +600 warscore.
David Reed
Sychophants, sock-puppet accounts, actual shills, retards. Take your pick.
Jordan Bennett
>except its a strategy game and it does matter Then you take the extra half second to turn the galaxy more to see where they are, user. SotS is turn based, you have loads of time to inspect the star field. Stellaris can be paused at any time.
Jordan White
Nobody cares about your ideas for new bloat except the other idiots who don't realize that their ideas are bad
Henry Cooper
...
David Thompson
its not about ability its about ease. i probably have a better spatial aptitude than you. 2d projection is very easy to use. even goddamn nasa uses 2d projection.
Ian Cruz
You can only build 1 gate site at a time. You can upgrade as many as you want though.
Isaac Ward
>planet cracker gives a permanent -100 on everyone not even purging gives a permanent debuff
Zachary Johnson
I'd like to add fleets that have been detected on the turn flash. Which is why the icon is missing in I haven't even gone into the military or the political map modes yet.
Adam Gomez
Jesus fucking christ This is what we're dealing with.
