No idea what that nigger is talking about, but Stormtroopers, at least in the core units, were clones until pretty much the fall of the Empire in the EU, way past the destruction of Death Star II in Ep. 6. At first, they were still the clones of the spic, but after some time due to the genetic material not being up to par anymore or some shit, they were replaced by some officer who proved himself to be loyal to Vader. They were also made on a different planet, not on Kamino anymore, IIRC.
Regular recruits could join infantry and stormtroopers, but they were mostly support units/militia role, at least from the beginning. While the reason for the replacement of the shitskin was kind of fucky, the officer was white, so whatevs. The war was much better portrayed in the EU tbh. If there is one thing Lucas failed at, it was capturing the actual scale a Galaxy wide war with billions of systems held by multiple sides would have. EU is not perfect in this regard, but it's definitely much better.

The problem with Lucas is that he just isn't very smart. You saw that in the dialogue in the prequels. His political ploys are either transparent or retarded, and I doubt he ever had sex based on how he thinks that talking about sand in your vagina is romantic. He can do a basic hero's journey, but he cannot do anything on a grander scale.

that's what he did for the first three movies but circumstances stopped him from doing it again checkout SF Debris "Journey" series of videos they do a good job documenting George Lucas' thoughts on Star Wars his changing story about what it was originally meant to be and how not giving one person top billing for the Empire Strikes back ultimately led to the Prequels being shit because GL couldn't hire a writer

Well, I start to understand your point. Since it's a Paradox game in their Clausewitz or whatever engine, it shouldn't be too hard to mod the mod and prevent other human and subhuman Earth species empires for spawning, or editing them with special traits giving them some kind of relations bonus, at least. It won't even require any special tools, Notepad++ is enough.

Again, what? Graphics and rendering are clearly not cutting edge, they're completely average. Nice for an indie game, had it been one, but it wasn't.
Planet generation, I don't think so. By what standard are they excellent? Again for a small indie game? Yes, but it's not any better than Space Engine, just has more detail generated. And the detail generation is not cutting edge, that's probably in Shekel Yidizen in commercially available products, maybe some companies' internal programs for building worlds have even better.
Then come the complete failures, no orbit, no proper physics, barely any gameplay now and absolute fuck-all at launch.
Audio, again, nice work for a small company, but far from what you'd call cutting edge, not even outstanding. Any AAA or AA game will have that much effort put into sound.

Become aware of the difference between anyone who describes a character as "a waifu" as opposed to "my/their waifu." These people are normalfags, and should be insulted, then shunned.

Here's how planets work in current build of stellaris.
Each planet has slots where you can build stuff as your population increases on the planet.
What to do while waiting for pops to grow? Build districts.
Districts come in 4 (well technically 9 or so) different variations.
Housing districts, farming districts, energy districts and mining districts, which now replace the old buildable farms, mines and energy generators.
On special planets like habitats and city planets these get replaced with stuff like research, commerce and entertainment (habitat) or foundry, industry and leisure in case of a city world.
https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Planetary_management
They also added few new pop mechanics, on top of food the pops now also need housing and amenities.
Amenities can either be made in a factory that uses another resource called consumer goods, which in turn are either made in specific factories or can be gained via changing your trade policy from wealth accumulation to consumer preference.
Consumer goods are also used by a bunch of other sthings, like the research centers, some of the culture buildings and that one mega structure that is basically space UN assembly site.
Oh yes and then there are the jobs, which are produced by districts and buildings.
Your pops automatically grab the highest job available and if they lost a high ranking job, they will be living neet life for a while before biting the bullet and going to the mines.
Running out of jobs, amenities or housing will make your pops unhappy and if they are unhappy enough they will revolt and form their own little star empire of a single planet.
Oh yeah and crime is also a thing that starts cropping up with increase in population, criminal megacorps having facilities on your world and with unhappiness.
Crime gives you some new criminal jobs on the world which further take down productivity and stability.
And on top of all that you got the rest of the game, with research, fleet management and diplomacy.
72db3c No.16329596
>>16329588
Oh yeah, one more thing.
The pops grow or die one at a time now.
You can grow pops and build machine pops at the same time, but beyond that you can't have multiple pops growing simultaneously on same planet.
So for example, if you have the planet of zootopia with a million different sentient species running around, only one pop at a time multiplies, instead of them all multiplying a simultaneously like in earlier builds of the game.
If that wasn't bad enough then the worst thing of all is the fact that species with least pops on a planet always get priority over other species and these tend to be the slowly breeding types.
Of course you can set a certain species to grow through force but then that pop gets some random growth penalty because of being forced to grow.
Fanatical purifiers though get a bonus to their growth rate.

Sorry for misinformation, amenities are made in factories or in trade facilities or (through research) in housing districts.
Changing trade policy decides between energy credit production, energy credit and consumer good production or unity production.

My space aircraft carrier is complete. It's a complete moving base with a refinery and an assembler and it can escape the earth if it has ice for its thrusters.

I think you're failing to understand how hard it is to make a ship fly.
All of those considerations were left behind because if you try to make it do everything then it'll be too heavy. What it is is a flying base that can carry and support many small grids and fly from space to planets or from planets to space. It has just enough thrust to be completely full of platinum ore and maybe carry some reasonable sized ships and rovers out of earth at 3x storage size. At full autism realistic inventory sizes, then it'll have spare thrust, and the thrusters could be replaced.

infinity battlescape has been in beta for a bit now, they havent done any real marketing yet but im surprised it hasn't blown up with how quality the dogfighting gameplay is.
Also a recent patch added mines and minefields which track other minefields, leading to minefield wars where the mines try to blow up the other kinefields. Interceptors and bombers end up acting as anti-mine duty and mines have capship crippling damage and huge explosion radius, you can use them as a damage boost and go flying if you detonate them at the right distance as well.

the bigger your fleet the slower it moves, the slower it shoots, the slower it reacts. Passive regen on hull is slow as fuck requiring you to set up pit-stops along the way via drydocks which function as repair yards for the ships they produce. Antimatter does not regenerate at all requiring you to set up refueling stations if you wish to keep using abilities. Damaged ships actually act like damaged ships, functioning worse and worse the more damage they obtain.

That's where you're wrong. The Tempest can be outfitted with excellent shields which, combined with solid flux capacity and it's inherent ability to avoid projectiles+small target body+point defense drones, can take out enforcers and harrass cruisers, while surviving very long in the combat space as a harrasser. Since it also doubles as a pursuit ship, they're super nice to have around. And the drones are excellent at being the opening wave in an engagement (I usually bring 5) since they RAPE enemy fighters and block the initial missile spam.

If you haven't touched it in years the original dev's all left and sold it to another company that keeps it on life support and does the bare minimum to keep collecting sheckles.
There have been several paid "expansions" that add no functionality that couldn't be found in other mods and they aren't original, they basically ripped off free mods and started charging for them. Don't give them your money. There's a new one coming out soon that adds robotic parts that have existed as free mods for years.
They also added spyware a while back in the form of redshell which tracked every single click you made in game along with all your personal computer info; and unity analytics. There caught so much flack they removed redshell a few weeks later but unity analytics is still there, they eventually were forced to add an opt-out, but it's not really an opt-out. To "opt-out" you have to go to a unity web-page and basically send them a unique identifier to signal you want to opt-out so they don't save your unique identifiers.
Basically just make sure you firewall off KSP completely it has no business making network connections anyway.

There's been a hole in my gaming heart for a long time now, and I think, if it already exists, it's likely to be a space themed game, so I come to you, oh gamers in space to tell me if it exists.
I dream of a game where I can sequester myself in a manufacturing capitalist wonderland as a highly simulated galaxy lives all around my isolated haven just for me to either ignore or watch it grow/transform as I dump untold of amounts of material and goods on it: possibly causing or fueling political strife perhaps in the form of war or at the very least producing something interesting to observe or watch. Maybe some faction vies for my products, I don't know. Emergent story/gameplay derived from AI I guess is what I'm looking for in a broad sense here.
The only things I can think of to act as an example of what I yearn for is Factorio on the micro scale as far as my factory is concerned, Dwarf Fortress in level of world simulation, and maybe EVE in level of scale and theme.
Perhaps Factorio Space-4X Edition would be a good summary tag line?
Does my dream game exist or anything like it?

90% of the issue with ships cruiser sized and under is that they're super fragile and can die to a single hit when you reach capital ships. Frigates are made infinitely worse by the new Doom, whose AI wont stop friendly firing your frigates to death.
The Tempest is great early game and as a pursuit ship but loses it's function as something you bring to every battle in late game.

The only reason to fit supercruise assist for any ship. Supercruise assist is slower but it prevents you from heading straight into a planet and makes you enter orbit but it doesn't throttle you down when you exit a jump you so if you land near a station its gonna ram you into it if you go afk. If you haven't been on for a while they added a Full System Scanner and a Mass Effect style probe launching to detect geological and other sites in planets.

It's pretty fucking neat, the only problem is that it takes a few minutes to find them, which sometimes it just ends up cruising in asteroid fields looking for popcorn looking asteroids, once you know how to find them then it gets pretty fast and void opals sell at 1.6 million a ton.

https://www.dogarandkazon.com/blog/2019/6/11/the-only-way-to-win-is
>So what the Dickens is going on?! Well before we get to the details, let's step backwards in time a couple of months – to a psycho-history-ish meeting where we and our lawyers were analyzing the various win and lose scenarios for the litigation most of you know so well. What amazed us was that the distinction between the most likely winning and losing scenarios was probably going to be relatively small. Worse yet, the negatives in all cases (loss of time, money, sanity, not to mention further fan community strife) were predicted to grow dramatically over the next few months. As a fan of WARGAMES (starring a young Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy), I remembered WOPR's wisdom. After calculating every Global Thermonuclear War scenario the super-computer concluded that, "The only way to win is not to play the game." This seemed like a worthy approach. Now we'd tried court-managed settlement with no progress and private mediation was also proving to be as elusive as the Questing Beast. So we decided to throw a bit of a Hail Mary pass and just call Brad Wardell directly – something he'd actually suggested more than a year earlier – but first, we needed to find some kind of common ground which turned out to be… bees. Yes, bees.
>I (Paul) have a life-long dream of learning every Medieval villager skill. Raising bees has always been on my list, so that I could make mead (wine) from honey. I decided to cut out the middle-man (middle bug?) and just buy honey, but my desire to raise bees remained. So when we called Brad Wardell my first sentence was something like, "Before I start talking about settling our legal conflict, I'd like to talk about bees." The conversation about bees, honey, mead, and bee stings went on for quite a while before we moved on to the talking about the case. Our perspective was this: we don't like fighting, but we love creating, so can we step waaay outside the box and settle our dispute through positive, creative actions rather than continuing to beat each other up? Brad listened and agreed, and this became the basis for settlement. Our lawyers are all smart, professionals with their client's best interest in mind, but it's worth considering that it was only when we communicated directly with each other that we made progress.

>There is a weird paragraph in the agreement that involves bees. Seriously — no kidding.

>Stardock accepts that Paul & Fred are the creators of Star Control and Star Control II. Both parties agree that many other skilled people also contributed their talent and creativity to help make the games so great.

you dont want to send your mining ships into an asteroid field full of pirates so turn the safety on

do it, and make sure to complete any tasks it gives you ASAP, its part of the HQ quest and by the end of it you have a huge hub station that you can do whatever with, plus you definitely want the research the HQ enables
at some point youre gonna have to invest in autotraders because an excessive amount of miners will saturate the market, and heres when the megabux start rolling in exponentially

Adds nothing of value to gameplay, or potentially adds loads of tedium. Also doesn't make sense; fleets travel together for safety, given the dangers of the sector.

Capital ships are much bigger than frigates; this is already in the game.

These points are mute, all systems feel the same, just with different planets and patrols pasted over it. they have no identity and most of the time they serve only to fetch quests, resupply and leave. They are essentially quest hubs that you stay in until you have enough fuel and supplies to leave. By making it bigger and adding their own ecosystem would give them more identity and encourage the player to actually stick around, making the whole world feel expansive, something you want on a fucking space game. Now by making smaller ships significant slower using the change of planes SPORE has can further distinguish smaller fleets from larger ones, making that transition from early to mid to late game better.
>It already does. Have you even noticed how the economy works?
Current economy hardly makes the game feel alive, it is at best a way to make space trucking worth the effort.
>I think you've been sold the wrong game. You wanted "Children of a Dead Earth," not Starsector.
>The apocalypse was 206 years ago at this point. Things are bad, but not really getting much better or worse, unless something unexpected (you, the player) happens.
you might as well call me a faggot that`s as good of a non-argument
>Would you prefer the fleets get smaller when you win?
No, I would prefer that if I wish to stay with smaller fleets the game wouldn`t close itself for me, back to my initial argument, having a deeper system on the space map would actually make the game more interesting instead of the current total war esk dynamic that feels like an excuse to make the player do space battles. It gives me flashbacks to Stellaris where the devs simply stop expanding on some mechanics because they claim their game "isn`t that type of game".

>add a bunch of smaller aircrafts traveling and hauling stuff and several small space stations containing all this traffic
Gameplay significance and content for the sake of content are hard to balance. Unless you ask for purely cosmetic stuff.
>all combined with a change of perspective just like SPORE celular phase where the more you grow the smaller things become.
Wrong kind of game, and a massive fleet isn't really practical. I am annoyed that the dev is afraid of making game RTS-ish in the late game, but that's still something different.
>game doesn't feel alive
>By making it bigger and adding their own ecosystem would give them more identity and encourage the player to actually stick around
I think that it's not because there are too few fleets, but rather because 2 of 4 main ways to make money rely on going away from civilisation, not interacting with it (bounty hunting and exploration). Trading is bizarre to me and I never seriously attempted it, but piracy is pretty fun and it requires the most knowledge about the colonised sector from you, and it's all about looking out for other fleets.
>spending hours in one system exploring
This issue is multifaceted. For one, this game doesn't really have enough content or compelling enough exploration mechanics to warrant doing the same shit in the same system for a long time. The most obvious solution would be to make systems multi-themed, which would make them less distinctive.
>THE WHOLE GALAXY
Sector. A backwater region in the Perseus Arm in the Milky Way galaxy.
>it is at best a way to make space trucking worth the effort.
It's kinda ironic, since previously dev was trying to discourage space trucking per se and make the player focus on exploiting shortages.
>the current total war esk dynamic that feels like an excuse to make the player do space battles.
The entire point of the game is to get the player into combat one way or another.

I don't know what it is with space games in particular but for some unholy reason not a single developer is capable of intelligently improving their game. Paradox/Stellaris are just throwing random shit at the wall in the vague hope that something sticks. FDev are patching E:D at a glacial pace, forget about actual content. Do I even have to start with Starbound and NMS?

I bet you played for five minutes and then quit due to your shit rig not being able to handle it. This is a game that starts out slow, gets really good around the 20-30 hour mark and gets amazing after a 100-200 hours, when you encounter the really crazy planets and creatures. Give or take a bunch of hours depending on how productive you are with resources and what you spend your time doing.
I get great performance btw. Maybe stop blaming video games for your garbage third-world hardware? If you can't afford video games then I doubt you can afford a computer that runs it decently.

NMS is a game, or rather a piece of software, that requires the user to click and hold menu buttons for several seconds to navigate menus. That's what I mean by irredeemable. It's designed by incompetents on a level that would put your average Javascript pajeet to shame. At any rate, nobody in this thread is stupid enough to fall for your rhetoric anyway. Maybe try Reddit or Cuckchan.

NMS has actual content now but the core gameplay loop is still terrible grind and a lot of problems that were there a year ago are still there. I want to like the game because it has a charm to it but the amount of small, perfectly avoidable TERRIBLE design decisions and unnessesary annoyances in the gameplay force me to stop playing every time time I try it after a couple of hours. Last time I installed it I had to start a new save because my old was saved around when the path of atlas was released, abn was hopelessly broken and outdated, and theres STILL multiple year old bugs in the game on every step. I stopped playing when while buying an S class frigate the game crashed as I pressed the buy button and when I returned to space the fleet wasnt there. Theres just so much janky slav-tier bullshit that you often have to get the save editor to fix that Id much rather play anything that DOESNT drain my soul with every second.

That's weird, I've never had a single crash. I will agree that it still has some rough edges, but I honestly haven't noticed anything big or anything that felt like a real issue to me. Maybe I've just been lucky, idk.
What are the design decisions that bother you the most? I legit want to know, also if you could provide examples of games doing X thing better then that would be nice. Too often people on this board just call something shit without providing examples of why or anything to compare it to.
>>16605543
You really haven't seen anything of what the game has to offer until you have gotten a bit into the game since you more or less unlock new aspects of the game as you progress. And that's true for the late game too, which offers even more stuff and weirder places to visit. If you're not into exploration and the kind of content that is offered later then sure, but quitting in the first star system or worse on the first planet and then calling the game shit is just dumb. Because you don't know what the game is even really like.

No, you will buy NMS and you will play it, you will enjoy it and have fun with it. You will play it with your friends and anons. You will play the one game that lets you explore an infinite universe, land on whatever planet you fancy and pretend to be Darwin. You will enjoy building a house on a hostile planet and hear the acid rain smatter against the windows. You will enjoy raiding huge space ships to steal their shit. You will enjoy hiding from enemies in the lower atmosphere and then surprise attack them as they fly by. You will enjoy getting eaten by terrors beyond your imagination on planets that makes your jaw drop.
NMS is the space game of the century and if you aren't playing it you are missing out. There's no catch, no dlc jewery, no DRM shit, no MMO bullshit. Just pure fun in space.

I intend to dive back into it when they add VR.
And for the record, you're correct about the game getting much better 15-20 hours in because the player gets access to more inventory storage methods, and therefore more lucrative trading opportunities to buy needed resources instead of grinding them out.
But really there should be an infinite capacity storage method somewhere. Even with maxed storage cubes you can run out.
I still contend that the game would be much cooler if they improved the space battles and increased their scale dramatically. The fleet defense missions are nice, but don't get it big enough.

Yeah, inventory space is kind of a pain even in the lategame. As for the space battles the main focus of the game were the planets, the space part was just a means to get to them and more of a side thing you could indulge in for fun. They have been improving the space part of the game a lot since release though so I'm thinking they will continue adding to that in later updates too. Doubt we will ever get to see LoGH crazy type of space battles though.

I hope so. I think the real issue they need to address is that there's no good way to dodge enemy weapons fire, resulting in dogfights becoming a "turn and play chicken" ordeal, excepting locations where you can take cover, which is alright.
But what I'm looking forward to is waiting out storms in a cave in VR. That shit's comfy as-is, and I only see it being comfier that way.

The ambience is incredible, especially the audio design. That's one of the reasons I like the game so much, because it's one of the comfiest games out there. Unfortunately I don't got any VR hardware since there haven't been any games that seemed to warrant it. NMS in VR though, that just might do it and make me take the plunge.

NMS is "annoying by design", the same way E:D is. Apparently the only way these devs can conceive of "fun" is by skinner boxes within skinner boxes. At least E:D attempts to be realistic about its setting, unlike NMS, which is just clown vomit.

So they just took what people already didn't like and made it worse. It almost seems like they are going full autism with the idea, as the most realistic depiction of a government that rules a decent chunk of the galaxy is 40k, imo. That or they are continuing to fail to realize that game burn out there is from other things than mass micro. Mass micro is a problem in 4x games, and that is NOT the solution. GalCiv3 tried to do the same, and I only see that causing issues.

You can only go for on path
Synthetic (The Flesh is Weak, Synthetic Evolution)

Psionic (Mind over Matter, Transcendence)
Mind over matter is a tricky one to get, gotta get lucky to unlock psionics at early game even with a spiritual empire and it never shows up with materialist empires up until end game. I never bothered with genetic tailoring but i think the synthetic path is far better if you cant get psionics early game.

<They will never use travel mode with you,You have to send them manually ship by ship ,not as escorts
<You have to do this every time you want them to change tactics

<Said "wings" also don't work when using transporters,you can have your ships across the galaxy from each other even if you sent them together
<The auto pilot sucks and will sometimes go "around" to the point you marked sending your ships through enemy sectors
<There is no way to defend your transporters because of the fucked wings,the fighters will either be 3 sectors behind ,or out run the transporter to the marked point and wait there
Related to both:Supposedly the entire galaxy is in a war with this religious faction
<No war patrols
<You can flight into the factions sector and use your scanner to fight "criminals" ,shooting them down grants 1 faction point ,at 10 you can sing up to faction military
<This allows to control you relations with all factions ,board a ship ,sell it ,kill some criminals repeat
<There is also no War economics ,none of the transporters are guarded,sectors might have Hull/Engine/Weapon parts manufacture stocked full and Shipyards with no part because nobody is transporting them,You can't build a fleet of transporters to start moving the parts because nobody has parts
