@ArmoredBall That was a smart move! Still, a very impressive achievement. :)
@Exolxte @TemplinEdu They're already better at preventing piracy, rather than defending against it. As you invest in defensive systems, which increase your range, the starbases lower the amount of piracy on your trade routes.
@BronzyV Sounds like there is still half the galaxy waiting for their rightful rulers then! Glad to hear it's going well though. :)
@deejayqf Is that when you spun up another game or did something bad happen? :)
@Malthus24206103 @kmschenk This is one area where you can never win. But we do enjoy those comment section arguments about the date format. :3
@Budo99 Well done! :) Though, a stalemate usually means peace, so that is some form of success. :)
@AvoanBlackbee
@ArmoredBall Do you remember what force it spawned with? :)
@Moah3
@danielk_ld @ayden_beeson There are at least 2 separate issues we're working on right now, so it's possible you're experiencing one of them. We recommend you stay on the beta branch for the time being, and we'll keep rolling out the updates.
@Abigyil
@HorathDrak Nicely done! Which would you say was the hardest?
@BrotherKorahael Close enough!
@ArmoredBall You mean the End of the Cycle? That happens very rarely, so well done!
@Anilomu_ Maybe in the future. It's one of the ideas that were thrown around, but we don't want to do it until we have enough resources to commit to it, to do it well. :)
@danielk_ld @ayden_beeson Opt into the "stellaris_test" branch. :)
@Abigyil Well done on freeing those xenos! Are you planning to eradicate the source of the problem too? :)
@misterhamtastic It can do that for leaders, but not for pops. It also increases technology cost, tradition adoption costs and campaign costs. Some admin cap is necessary, but colonizing 20 worlds will likely put a strain on your empire in more ways than one. :)
@Exolxte @TemplinEdu With the piracy being reworked, as well as empire economies and, by extension, their fleet power creep, some balancing had to come to the Starbases too. :)
@FaintestV @igloosmashin @A_Spec Thanks a lot! :)
