Just have to wait the PC release

Same.

I'm not a big fan of all the time needed for chasing down monsters though.

Tracking the monster down was never the fun part, for me.

I never played it, but I'm used to MMOs

oops!

is my face red

thats a bad site

So I'm still on my first campaign of Stellaris... is it just me, or the computer can accumulate an ungodly amount of minerals and burst produce it all in one go when attacked?

Playing on normal.

And what's really annoying, chasing down an enemy fleet that's running away from me.

@DanielKO yeah, that's expected

That's the first empire that I'm trying to steamroll... it's so frustrating.

Really don't feel like trying to conquer the other ones, if it's going to be this boring.

Can I just blow up their planets?

@DanielKO you can wait until the next dlc or get this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=720237457

Gonna try to do it without mods on my first playthrough.

This is fucking retarded, the enemy keeps jumping back and forth between two systems, before I can fly close and shoot them down.

@DanielKO you have to play the siege game

I think you can also make a tiny fleet to lure them near.

can also be used to kite bigger fleets around, unless they've changed stuff since last I played

Reminds me of a similar strategy in EU4, having a low strength regiment running around will instantly make all the AI troops salivate in a blood frenzy, and charge at your weak regiment with no regard for their own safety or health.

Capturing planets is annoying.

I wish I could just build a defense station there.

yeah, it's kind of boring, and trivial at later stages. Just feels like a grind

hopefully the new patch/dlc will do something to alleviate that boredom

the claim system and system conquest stuff looks promising at least

and the ability to build a defense system that isn't obsolete almost before it's built

Yeah defense platforms suck

totally. I've only ever really used them really early on

build one, declare wars on neighbors as soon as you discover them

they'll send their ships over and suicide against your starbase, because the defense platform interdicts them, and pulls them out right next to it

then you harvest warscore until they surrender, and claim a few planets early

haven't tried it more than once, in the latest patch though, so I don't know if it works anymore

AI seems a bit more reluctant to attack your starbase at the beginning when they can't muster the fleet strength to take it out

@Mal favorite ftl?

hyperlanes

so I don't mind the changes coming

almost always played on that setting

yeah

reminds of of older 4x games

I always found warp and wormholes to be annoying

same

wormholes was just another layer of micromanagement

but the yump drives were the shit

yeah I enjoy getting those, because they were locked behind tech

and felt like an upgrade

favorite weapons?

and yeah

always went with a mix, tachyon lances and kinetic artillery

I remember the tachyon **Destroyers**

lol

back before that pesky X slot

yep

and battleships with auras

oh yeha

getting those back, iirc

what's the best ethos combination?

I've always found fanatic materialist + individualist to be best

though I now prefer the assimilator bots

lol

research boost is just too good

but you can make an argument for mass slavery being useful for establishing a powerful economy early

depends on the setting. PvP is very different to a regular game vs ai

and I find multiplayer pvp to be boring corvette spam

I like xenophile, militarist, materialist

I thought corvette spam was effectively removed

I don't think it'll be gone until 2.0

which starting planet do you prefer?

climate wise?

yeah

depends. I usually go desert for roleplaying reasons when the megacorp government form could be individualist instead of authoritarian

and be an megacorp called Omni-Tek, on a desert planet called Rubi-Ka

for the assimilator bots, I mix it up, though I like the frozen one.

Hunting monsters in a video game is somehow related to Trump.

Why not do it on PC and have a longer reach?

NES games will run on PC

They'll run on practically anything with.a screen via RetroArch

Old consoles get maximum future compatibility. :)

@meratrix how do you feel about TW: 3 kingdoms?

It's gonna be good I think, looking forward to it. I was one of the people who really wanted China

I just hope they don't have too many irons in the forge

I suggest watching a Chinese movie called Red Cliff, it's about the same story and is pretty good.

Subtitles of course

cool

It's on Netflix

Do they kung fu fight in the middle of a battlefield?
