[@TheArklyte]

The truth about having a billion systems under you control is that... there would still be only few thousand of them that have really high value that makes them worth a notion compared to others. If people want more systems maybe it's better to treat them(and hyperlane travel) like relay systems in Mass Effect? There is a relay in one system in a cluster of several systems, you still need to travel between the systems with your own engines. In ME those are also FTL, but in Stellaris we have sublights. So maybe there should be a "kilostructure" that explores, colonizes and exploits nearby systems that have no hyperlanes? To you it would just be another enclave that you invest into to have a slow trickle of resources from over time.

[@Juhnte]

I'm not sure I've understood, that would be like releasing systems as vassals?

[@TheArklyte]

@@Juhnte I'm pretty sure that you didn't understood what I've said at all. Those systems are NOT worth rendering. They don't technically exist. But nothing stops you from building a mining/exploration enclave and de facto delegating "rights" to those territories to the enclave that works as your vassal/subsidiary/branch/drone. And with time it'll slowly start paying dividends back. Let's say with exponential increase every 10 years as the fleets of said enclave reach Oort cloud, then rogue objects between the system, then closest systems, then start spreading out to other systems... So first 10 years it's nothing, then it's small trickle, then it starts paying back and slowly it becomes profitable. It's just a bit of lore that says that they do exist, but we don't care because they're empty and we don't like pointless bloat.

[@Juhnte]

@@TheArklyte Ah yeah, like some events in Stellaris talking about solar systems that aren't on the map, yet are in the galaxy we play in.

[@StarboyXL9]

One thing I enjoy about the constant annoying pop ups is that they are extremely immersive. Nothing is more helpful in maintaining my immersion that I'm the leader of a powerful nation than a bunch of meaningless paperwork piling up on my desk.

[@Regunes]

Uh... so that's why I never turn them off.

[@chrismastrorocco4945]

I really do like cloaking and that it really isn't that strong unless you go out of your way to make it work. I just love the idea of a stealth carrier-battleship fleet conducting ww2 style carrier warfare. Hide the carriers in a system, maybe even one they haven't put an outpost in (the AI loves to leave weird gaps in their expansion) and send fighter/bomber squadrons out to attack. This of course would require the us to be able to design strike craft, give them ftl, and build them like normal starships- which is something I really want. Maybe's it's the Offworld Resource Base player in me, but I just love strike craft. I don't think the devs should actually do this but it would be a sick mod. Point is yeah Pearl Harboring xenos would be fun, but we shouldn't stop there and just go full Pacific War carrier action

[@martenkahr3365]

14:54 It could always read the ethics names (as long as they were actually localised). They just did away with the opt-out toggle at some point and now you can't stop the game from sharing this information anymore (short of turning Steam to Offline Mode).

[@tredausmaxima]

I had the same idea when I was escaping from the Contingency. Since by luck I bordered the Ancient Caretakers, I built up colony ships and placed them in their system 😂

[@speckofstardust2090]

Colony ships remain behind even if you have no pops of that type in your empire- about 6 months ago I played an empire that would build a colony ship of a foreign pops then set that pop to purge after the ship was completed.

[@MeJustMe101]

20,000 star galaxy in the thumbnail looks like an actual galaxy.

[@miraakyt9640]

dwarf galaxies should have few bilion stars to be considered to be galaxy so we are getting close to simulate galaxy in stelaris with mods... well at least we can consider to be almost able simulate star cluster or nebula size cluster

Oh hey, I made the 20k stars galaxy! It was in 3.4, and I've tried to do the same with 3.7 but the mod currently crashes. If anyone is attempting to make a mod that can do this again, I'll donate my computer another week so we can pull some analytics from it!

I used a stealth fleet of corvettes, frigates, and destroyers to hunt down and assassinate the Great Kahn - was a pretty good time. It's also fun to use them to ambush artillery-heavy fleet. All my playthroughs since First Contact was released have at least one pure stealth fleet.

[@daviddragonheart6798]

RNG dictates whether or not you get friendly neighbors, or at least neighbors willing to be peaceful. Sometimes, you dont GET a choice.

[@AdmiralTails]

It's very easy to have something go wrong. One of my attempts at the achievement ended up being in a 100 year long war instead because some fanatic purifiers got declared a crisis. Even the run that did eventually get the achievement, where I decided to declare the imperium in order to pass the pax galactica (bans wars between imperium members) ended up having to piss everyone off by refusing to help people with their rebellions (the game considers this to be "abandoning them to an outside threat" because rebels are considered to be the aggressor and aren't Imperium members because they only *just* came into existence). I think the biggest thing is just the fact that attempts are so long and can be completely thrown off by a single action by an AI empire outside your control. There are definitely plenty of others that are way harder, I would only call peacekeeper on the harder end of things, not "one of the hardest."

[@potato88872]

​@@AdmiralTails you don't lose the achievement in a crisis war and against any crisis

[@AdmiralTails]

@@potato88872 Galactic Community declared crisis wars against empires, on account of actually being wars, do count against the achievement. When it says "Crises do not count as wars," it means The Grey Tempest, The Horde, The Unbidden, The Contingency, and the Prethoryn Scourge. Things that function much like a war, but do not actually show up as one, which were the only kind of crisis at the time the text was written.
