(well, being this is the first game i've played, i'm going to at least TRY to get the endgame crisis spawned, whatever one it ends up being - just so when the rest of the galaxy is panicking and running around like headless chickens, i can just go 'hold my firewiskey, i got this', come in and obliterate the crisis and then…
(HEY, i've only gone to war ONCE since that empire that swiped a system out from under my nose, and that was to help two other empires with an AI rebellion! just because i have like 7 nidavellir hyperforges, a hyperstructural assembly yard, 3 matrioshka brains, a nicoll-dyson beam, 2 penrose spheres, an EHOF, 2 HRAE-MCs, a…
(i don't know what that means in game terms; if you're suggesting a complete game restart, i;'ve already invested way too much time and effort into the current one to get rid of it now - even though i think if i did restart, i would still finish the second one in far less time than it's taking me to crawl my way to the…
(remind me to never use the fast_forward console command in stellaris ever again...i set it to pass 100 years and 12 hours later, it still isn't even a third of the way done)
ultima online's got it beat by 4 years, since that one came out in 97 and is also still alive - whether it's kicking, i have no idea and being able to so freely do that in early MMOs like anarchy is probably why subsequent ones started introducing level requirements to gear en masse - and also pseudo-singleplayer games…
(okay, i seriously need to learn to leave the endgame start date for stellaris alone...i think i set it to 2700, which is the highest that particular slider can go, i'm only on 2514 and the game is lagging so badly, even on fastest speed it takes close to a minute to advance a single month because of the sheer amount of…
(yeah, those ships definitely look interesting - and i predict a full necron race mod for stellaris ASAP after this DLC hits stores...which there probably already is one, but i mean one using the DLC stuff)
(btw, has anyone seen trailers for the next stellaris DLC coming out? and if you have...did you do what i did - which was take one look at the civics being added by it and going 'necrons')
(an upturned winged creature over a planet sounds like the romulan republic emblem, but it can't be if the ship was made of titanium alloy - no romulan ships use that in ship construction hell, i'm not even sure MODERN spacecraft use that anymore)
alex: *conversing with the captains of the klingon and vanguard ships* nothing from the probes so far - just signs of them back at masan; it'll take a while longer for the rest to reach other systems, and a good day or so for them to reach systems at the edge of the probe's range - i hope either of you don't have anywhere…
(yeah, they may think that, but you can't suppress that kind of knowledge, especially given how many interactions members of several milky way powers have had with andromedan citizens and military personnel both, to say nothing of the trade agreements both the klingons and ferengi have with most of the major powers…
(except the founder's log identifies them as a separate species While dormant, a smaller servitor race tends to the Burrowers. and neth parr is not a reliable source - she's a captain, not a xenobiologist)
(the tzenkethi don't have their own name for them, they have a name for the ones that attend them while they're hibernating - the drantzuli and hur'q aren't the same species)
(well, that won't be happening for several hours at the barest minimum - those probes can only go so fast) alex: and now, we wait...*he murmurs as the last of the conundrum's 100 probes exit their tubes to be joined by lycaon's 2000, each streaking toward a different system to scan* gee, i really hope this doesn't tick the…
(so i wonder what planet they actually crashed on...can't be the founder's first homeworld despite being inside a nebula, because that planet had its crust obliterated, and you don't recover from something like that in just a 50-year span...if you ever recover i think it was also described as having multiple biomes, and…
(yes it is, and i double-checked - it wasn't a shattered planet, it was a ship disintegrating while trying to avoid a mass shadow - the hyperspace shrapnel bit still applies, though; apparently it knocked literally EVERY other ship in the galaxy out of hyperspace)
(yeah, let's not go there - under disney, the rules of hyperspace are so damn inconsistent, you could probably use it to blow up the universe if you tried hard enough and apparently a book is coming out where a massive galactic disaster involving hyperspace, a shattered planet and a whole shitload of shrapnel occurred some…
