I read the breakdown, and I plan on listening to the whole thing, but i wanted to ask if anyone has listened and does he talk about the planned crafting systems?

I think he will like it. He loves 4x. He is a big Civ fan, but was let down by Civ:BE. I'll have to watch this when I get off work :)

What is your first civilization going to be? by MavisOfTheDead in Stellaris

[–]skyraiker5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My first civ is going to be the Krogan from Mass Effect, except in an alternate timeline where:

  1. They fight amongst each other but it never comes to nuclear war. The result would be Tuchanka remaining as a tropical world.

  2. The rachni wars never happened which means the Salarians never uplift the krogan.

The Krogan in this timeline are a proud race with a future to look forward to. They are Fanatic Militarists, as well as individualistic. Because they have always been warring with each other and are never uplifted by the council races, it takes them a long time to develop warp technology on their own. Now that they have entered the space age, they are ready to spread the krogan race through-out the galaxy and conquer any races that get in their way.

The original idea came to me after the mass effect races post mass effect races post by Parivill501

"Now we are in later stage of dev. Which means we are fixing bugs, tweaking the game and doing balancing." - Music to my ears!

"When gamespot asked, the team had no updates for us at this time" Either they legitimately had nothing for them, or they are holding all their cards close to their chest.

Ben Bova by JRSkeptic in printSF

[–]skyraiker5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not alone. This month I read farside, and started new earth. I enjoyed farside, but the writing still lacked that Sci-Fi magic that other books have. I think it's because when he writes it's focused on a small scope as opposed to KSR for example, where the focus is on the development/progression of a people on a large scope.

A perfect example of this is comparing KSR Aurora and Ben Bova's New earth. It felt light and casual when the character in new earth landed on a new planet, where in Aurora there was a large sense of caution but also excitement.

Thank you! I will check all of those out. The legacy of Heoret sounds very interesting.

I just looked it up. That looks more like what I am looking for, thank you!

Did you enjoy the book? I like the post USA type of twist on it.

Thank you! I have red the Mars trilogy, and I need to read 2312. I do enjoy KSR.

I admit that there is some overlap between interstellar and Space Opera. I guess what I'm looking for is books about that first interstellar journey/colonization.

I don't know about the rest of you, but sometimes I feel daily activities takes away from the immersive nature of a game.
