The DLC (they're touting it as another "story pack" like Leviathans was) sounds cool, and I'll undoubtedly get it, but honestly I'm more excited about the 1.8 update. 


Been the playing the heck out Stelllaris the last few days, incidentally.  Whatever its flaws, this game continues to amaze me.

I am feeling lazy today; any links to the 1.8 patchnotes?

I don't think there are any yet, or a detailed designer diary saying what it will be. At least I didn't see either in a few minutes of looking last night.

(I could be wrong.  )

Ever since the Leviathans release, Stellaris kicks my ass.  I get deep into it and then some Big Evil shows up (I seem to get the Unbidden most often) and wrecks me.  If I somehow do manage to survive it (usually only because I save/reload until they spawn in someone else's sector and an ascendant race fights them off), I get pummeled by a rival.  I don't know how they always manage to get fleets 3-4 times the size of mine in such a short period of time when I have my prodcution maxed and am constantly churning out battleships and carriers to make ready for the next wave of attacks.

Martok, are you using any mods.

The update isn't out yet.  Sorry, should've clarified that.  :-[

Am occasionally playing Star Trek: New Horizons.  Otherwise just vanilla so far.

^It seems to explain why so many space 4x games choose hyperlanes over other methods of travel.

Hmm, I'll roll with it.

^ummmm...what am I missing?

These choices have been in the setup options all along. You can choose any of the three--and forbid the other two or include one or both. Each brings a different experience. But I suppose if they are aiming to improve combat they need reworked. We're have to wait for what comes next--but I'm more than a little pleased they are aiming towards combat---as that isn't a strength the game enjoys.

The whole point is they are removing the choices. Is something in the air tonight?
