The only way I can compete on godlike is by timing the pragmatic ideology trait perfectly. You want to hit it at bout turn 50. That's about as far as I can normally push it before drengins or yor declare war. Spend the next 30 turns minimum just smashing out tech and economy. At turn 30 of enforced peace, start researching military tech. At turn 40-45, swap to building out the biggest military you can get at the tech level you have achieved by roughly turn 90. You really shouldn't bui

So can we can some patch notes then? That way we will have something to talk about...

My latest creation - the Ascension Class Mothership More images on steam: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=643825284

Well, one per planet per tech age would be OP, but three tiles total is really underwhelming - especially on any of the larger map sizes - even if they can be placed anywhere. Surely there's a happy middle ground here?

Yeah that sounds like a balance issue.

Delaying until thurs would be a tactical error - I feel like the crossover between the xcom and Galciv demographics is probably fairly large!

Phew!!! im extremely biased - I just want to try it out before being consumed by xcom2...

So Paul when's the founders beta? :)

Also early next week = xcom2. Fail!

Nooooo Early next week = much less beta time!

Weekend is here. Beta testing time... Or no, if stardock miss the deadline!

By pete i meant pshaw!

So pete when you unlocking beta for founders?

When is the founders beta? today? :) The more time for feedback, the better...

Well, I agree for patrol ships and offensive invasion fleets. Small ships could really find a niche in key planet / starbase / shipyard defense though, where their lack of movement but superior fighting capability would make them extremely difficult to dislodge

If they allowed more than 1 shipyard per planet small ships would be really good. But, they dont, so...

It would be good to get ideology balance looked at. Some low level perks are way better than their later counterparts..

release the beta today so we can test over the weekend :) Pretty please?

XCOM2!!!

Retreating wouldn't be that hard to implement. Just needs some chase down mechanics, and new tech/devices that prevent warping away (retreating). Maybe in the jamming tech line.

I also get this issue. Very frustrating. It's not just a simple CTD -> i usually need to completely reboot my PC Hope the devs prioritise soon.

exactly tung. The issue is not that you can build really powerful ships. The issue is that the colony module is too light, or the cargo ship able to carry too much mass, too early in the game.

I think the simple answer is to have cargo hull mass scale with current level of hull research. start it at literally just enough to fit a colony/constructor/trade etc module on and that's it. then, add another 10 or 20 mass when small hulls get researched. Another 10-20 when medium hulls are researched. Etc etc. problem solved. Want to expand to a planet 100 tiles from your border? Either research hull tech or prepare the constructor chain spam!

So, opportunistically benevolent and opportunistically malevolent. That doesnt sound lke a triangle to me

I actually think it would be far more relevantt if your ideology was reflected in your play. Playing malevolent? Peacetime should have a negative modifier to your empire. Vote in the UP to help a benevolent race? subtract malevolent, add benevolent. pPlaying benevolent? Starting a war should give you some sort of negative modifier. And possibly negative benevolent and positive malevolent points. the game has too few ways to gain ideology - and arguably you
