Stellaris

[thecommandtent]

Who needs the galactic community.  Bunch of whinny wimps.  In my current game I ignore them the war in heaven, and now the end game Scourge has shown up.  I'm expanding my fleets and continue to terraform molten, barren planets and gas giants and colonizing them.  While the other pathetic races war among themselves I will soon release my fleets against them.  Mercy will come at the end of a rifle for those week races.

One day I'll get there. In my first ever game I'm having trouble just dealing w/ space pirates

I usually just send Bubbles to take care of them.

Nice!  I wasn't sure this was even still in development.  Definitely one to keep an eye on.

It's only a minor spoiler, but I won't ruin the surprise since you're still just getting into the game for the first time.  For now, I'll only say it's related to an anomaly that players generally encounter early on in their games (usually the first 20 years or so).  You'll know it when you've encountered it, I promise.

Base game or DLC?

[Martok]

Argh, my bad.  It's part of the (most excellent) Distant Stars DLC.  It's been so long, I don't even remember what's in the base game anymore.    Sorry, man.

Its all good. I may have to pick that one up as I'm enjoying the game so far.

[Martok]

I highly recommend Distant Stars (I rank it as an "A"-tier DLC), especially if you enjoy the game's exploration phase.

I'll add it to your tab

This is going to be one hell of a check when it comes due.

Dev Diary #201 is here.  It's an interesting read. 


I will admit, this makes becoming the Galactic Custodian potentially more compelling.  Still not as cool as becoming the Crisis, though! 

[thecommandtent]

I've started and abort a few games now and I'm really enjoying the early game exploration and challenge of getting my empire up and running.  I'm learning alot and failing alot but its all be fun!

[Martok]

Glad you're enjoying it! 

Yeah, the trying/failing/learning process ia always part of why I enjoy Stellaris.  For all the hours I've put into this game, I'm still always discovering that there's more to learn.
