It took a full 10 turns to build something that my regular fleets could do in one or two turns. It never made sense to build these things.

Build them next to the star, and use them as your initial declaration of war, protect them with Dreadnoughts until they're ready, problem solved.

They had several advantages over normal planetary conquest.  The planets destroyed couldn't be reconquered, it created more asteroids to mine, and you could use range limitations against your enemy by creating buffer zones.  Not to mention that by using them as your method of declaring war you could wipe out large chunks of them quickly.

There's about 1000 dev journals, but if they RE already back, that's awesome.  I'm actually waiting until after Retribution is released to get Gal Civ 2, cus as I understood it, Brad wasn't done with the AI yet as late as post-Intrigue.  But if Terror Stars really are back, it makes this all the more exciting.

Nice, in that case, I'm all the more excited that I already was.

Can they move more than 1 space this time?  Cus if I can only build ONE every 10 turns it'd limit their usefulness (long story short, a scenerio like the above video, probably won't happen using citizens).

I'm used to defending them with Dreadnaughts GC2, so the escort thing wouldn't be an issue.

Nice, so I can't build as many, but what I can build is more useful, can't wait.

AI never built terror stars in GC2 either.

I wonder if one of the things Brad was wanting to work on for the AI had anything to do with this, I may ask him on twitter.

Edit - nm, - delete post.
