Surely Stellaris is best game

Stellaris used to be good

Modded Stellaris still is!

True

I need to revert to 2.1 and get some mods a runnin

@Amir Nintendo won't, because they're more worried about non-profit fangames.

1.9 Legacy Stellaris is master race

before the whole new rework that dumbed down the game. Plus more mods

dumbed and slowed down the game

and severely nerfed ship fleets and size.

WIth a console version, we'll see it further dumbed down

How the heck is this game even played with a controller? Steam controller isn't fun for it, nevermind PS/XB controllers. KB/mouse is needed for optimal play

Truth be told, I would want a VITA version.

They needed an answer to the deathfleet

Even then, only limit the amount of ships per admiral would be enough, the cost increases is annoying. 1 doomstack gets boring quickly into the late game where you need fleets at multiple areas for fast progression.

Unless you use something like CC’s Spaceports, regular forts are useless. In modded late game, I've found 3+ fleets that are 300k+ strength + ragnarok + avatar ship (ISBS mod) enough.

ISBS is MVP, better than the actual apocolypse DLC, and great reduces time needed to defeat enemies. You get base-delta-zero about 50 years in (if it not earlier), and then the ragnarok/avator late to straight up crack planets

tbh I haven't played any 2.x

same

I tried 2.0+ and didn't like it

Thus I stuck with 1.9

I used to play with NSC all the time

Haven't tested NSC yet, ill probably try it soon.

But my stellaris has so many mods that it crashes if some new stuff is enabled or anything is disabled in the mod menu.

Bombarding planet + invasion takes long. Kinetic bombardment makes it so that you keep the ship above planet but dont have to waste sending troopers. Then theres the ragnarok and avatar:

Truly wonderful tech! Who cares the xenos hate you for this. You saved time and can unleash it on them if they piss you off!

One thing. I wish Stellaris had an RTS ground battle for each planet as well. Similar to how Empire at War has both ground and space RTS mode

rfactor has a high learning curve

So does Racing real cars <:pepe_smug:560207654207750154>

absolutely, you also get the lateral g which makes it even more challenging

i'll stick to forza
