Since a long time.

I like the mod way better than the vanilla experience.
Since the game is about LARPing mostly anyway, what better way to do it than in your favourite scifi setting?
Any true Trekkie will also enjoy connecting the various events that happen in the game to the actual episodes they happened in - and yes, if you know what happens in the episode, you can sometimes make decisions with better outcomes. Although not all events are based on episodes, I think.

Subscribed, now where's my Farscape mod?

star trek mod is good, the engine can't take it though.

With their new CEO, I'm guessing online space themed casino.

New DLC is called Megacorp and focused on economics

Are you watching the stream? Any juicy info?

 

[fantadomat]

It will be ported to mobile devices. Clearly they aim to take down the concurrent,aka Civilization 6.

Link to description of Expansion

 

[Space Satan]

Megacorps have their own civics and some unique buildings. But severally limited by maximum empire size. New enclave "caravaneers", will use barter deals only.
Space communist and corporate voice sets.

 

[Alienman]

So what about Empires that are run like a megacorp???

 

[Space Satan]

Given they introduced a pre-order release could come within several months

Actually its exactly what Stellaris needs.

This is perfect work to prepare for a Diplomacy-focused expansion. Once Diplomacy is done, I think they will implement Espionage.

Warfare >>> Economy >>> Diplomacy >>> Espionage.

The only 4x i ever played was Alpha Centauri, is this game more complex?

With foundry arcology you can LITERALLY build a forge world. A planet the size of 16 turned ecumenopoli can house 261 pops, without additional bonuses. but they cannod prodice any minerals on ecumenopolis, only food with hydroponic farms

How is it a forge world if the only thing they can make is food?

There are foundry arcologies that provide a lot of metallurgist jobs. So you can have entire world dedicated to mineral to alloys refinement.

 

[Storyfag]

What I think this new system will be missing is the vital step between civilised worlds and ecumenopoli - hive worlds. Places which have arcologies, but aren't covered 100% with them yet, so can still extract minerals, etc, but cannot house a fuckhueg population.

Do yourself a favor and stay the hell away. This is one of the worst strategy games ever made. The biggest gaming disappointment in 5 years, not least because it means we will probably never get a real CK2 style grand strategy set in space. It's a far worse letdown than Pillars of Eternity or Tides of Numenera, which were merely mediocre in all respects. Instead, Stellaris is plain awful in every way except the graphics, which are just average. And it's all because of the utter incompetence of the designers. Everything about this game is retarded, from the original pitch of having Paradox make a straight MOO clone with no experience instead of a real grand strategy, to the breathtakingly abominable UI, to the idiocy of randomly generated races, to the game elements scavenged from random Paradox games and haphazardly assembled in a primitive tribesman's cargo cult idea of 4x gameplay. Every time I think of this unspeakable disaster of a game, my heart is stricken with grief at the thought of what could have been, if they had just let Doomdark make his CK2 in space. Such massive potential incline, lost forever like tears in rain. I appreciate what Wiz is trying to do, but it's like putting makeup on a harlequin baby. Just kill it!
