how stronk are you?

I met these 3 first right after conquering another empire, and we started circle jerking each other off with trade deals and shit
I somehow shot through research so fast that I was the strongest (despite being much smaller and having no fleet for a very long time) and the commonwealth submitted to me, the other two quickly followed

when I met the other half of the galaxy they ignored us, then the theocracy joined, then the imperial stars joined

and now we're here

oh yeah and the bloke at the top joined last

ohshit

oh yeah, and despite playing a Human empire with the species name as Human, I found Sol III so I'm now enlightening them into my empire

I declared war on and subsequently eliminated a FE (not even awoken yet, I was taking out the garbage before it started to stink), taking specific care to keep one of its fleets alive for those sweet sweet prize ships

Didn't get them
They just disappeared
I'm angery

Probably just going to try and force spawn them in for me using console commands

Wot

I earned those dammit
I don't need them
My weakest fleet is 70k for Pete's sake
I have 7 other fleets on top of that

I want my trophies

Also for some retarded reason my protectorates/vassals refuse to build anything but corvettes

>Also for some retarded reason my **protectorates/vassals** refuse to build anything but corvettes
you don't need to use the word retarded twice, knopfler

Which I'm kinda ok with because I've got the big boi ships (VENATORS WITH SUPERLASERS ARE A THING NOW HECK YES) but I kinda wish that when I eventually get around to integrating them I'd have a more varied collection of trophies

>also for some retarded reason my retards are being retarded
Well played fireweaver, well played

@nic the mod author finally updared it?

Yup

Finally got around to making the conqueror have its fucking superlaser slot

Although I don't know if it's special superlaser tech is still in the mod

But yeah, the conqueror gets 2 X slots, and the Venator can be fitted to have 1 X slot if so desired

Oh yeah, and the Star Destroyer can have 8 large weapon emplacements on one slot instead of 4
Huge boost

Balancing is a bit weird, because they're now super dooper expensive to both run and build

But it averages out

It's just super backbreaking in the first few years

Corvette spam is good and all, unless you need to pay 700 minerals per corvette

but battlecarrier is best @nic

Battlecarrier spam is stronk

what do your venators look like now?

I got psionics, the Void gave immortality to one guy, he took over the Space Nazis as God Emperor.

Now I have to rename him to Trump.

Most of the leader names are Hispanic or Chinese, what's up with that?

I can't screenshot because I'm about to sleep, but off the top of my head their configurations are
Large teir V lasers
Med-Small teir V mass drivers
Torpedo bombers (32 damage per fighter!)
Psy shields
Psy drives
Shield capacitors 2x
Armor regen 2x
Teir V armor
Crystal forged plating teir II

I have a varient I've dubbed the Venator II that just swaps out some of the larges for an X weapon, which is a tacyon lance

I'm running with the imperial govt right now and I managed to keep my emperor alive long enough to get the shroud event for the chosen one, and was fortunate enough he was one of the chosen

His daughter will never see the throne <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

Reason why I want to keep my emperor alive is because I'm really attached to him because he has a lore and shit so fuck off Historia your bitch ass is never going to rule this empire

He's also woke as fuck

These were the ugly fuckers he insulted

I would have responded with "The Houkago has made his opinion clear" if it didn't shift my ethics towards xenophobe

They look like horse dicks.

yeh

Yeah I don't blame the Houkago (forever may he reign) for thinking of them as lesser beings
