What are you looking forward to most coming up for Stellaris this year?

[@Ghent_Halcyon]

For yall to bring Xbox Stellaris up to date. It'd be pretty neat.

[@mathelgar]

Rick the Cube

[@brootalbap]

To working localizations that get messed up with every patch and DLC. It's a pipe dream of mine that localizations work properly in stellaris some day. Oh, and a balanced DLC where you can't spawn 120k fleets out of thin air like in astral rifts but where the DLC is not game breaking would be awesome as well.

[@cipherstormwolf14]

Fixes to the Astral Planes DLC, it is just not worth it. Please.

Not that this trope is somehow too new, but imagine my reaction, when in this trailer she appears, looking almost like i imagined her in my novels, with a halo and what not!

I shared pictures from Starcraft of the Adjutant (android computer interface - a woman with cables coming from her head) and also the parallel of Kerrigan's appearance and speculated about things I'm not going to go into here.

[@animecat3556]

From the moment I understood the power of my flesh it enamoured me. I craved the strength and certainty of protein. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Form. Your kind cling to your machines, as though they will not break and malfunction on you. One day the crude logic engines you call a temple will blue screen, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the gains are immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.
