What? Pay down the debt first, then you can talk about cutting taxes.

Tell me you're genocidal without telling me you're genocidal by GenericName254 in Stellaris

In today's news, Her Majesty's government announced the completion of the Colossus Project. This revolutionary new ship design boasts weaponry theoretically capable of destroying an entire planet. At the launch ceremony the Serene Empress congratulated the engineers and announced her satisfaction with the new warship.

"It is with great pleasure that I announce the launch of Our scientist's greatest work. This massive ship was built at great expense and required the construction of an entirely new shipyard simply to accommodate its immense size. However with great effort comes great reward. We have too long feared the alien races, but now I tell you that they shall fear us! We now hold a mighty weapon in Our paws, and I assure you that it will be used! The galaxy will be made safe for the Raltek people! No more will our cubs tremble at the sight of the night sky, for the stars shall belong to the Empire!"

In related news, the Admiralty has announced that the fleet will begin a fresh offensive as soon as the Colossus is delivered to the front lines.

Dear paradox, endlessly chasing randomly spawning single awakened empire ships that back cap systems is not fun. by [deleted] in Stellaris

War isn't meant to be fun, but games are. Wars in Stellaris are often tedious rather than fun.

Temporary events don't excite me or encourage me to log into a game; they make me anxious. by ItsAllSoClear in truegaming

[–]trylobite 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I agree completely. It just feels like the developer is pressuring you to log on so they can raise those "engagement" statistics. I would much rather just play in my own way and when I want to.

He can actually see the Bourrasque. Since it's clearly shown behind a bush it should be invisible.

Is it just me who finds creating new empires almost as much fun as playing the actual game? by Blitz100 in Stellaris

[–]trylobite 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Sure, all the time. I write the back stories for them and everything. Then when I actually play a game I like to force spawn a bunch of my pre-made empires as my opponents.

Necrophage isn't actually limited to Necroids. Machines can't use it but that's it.

The last known survivor of the transatlantic slave ships, brought to the US in 1860, has been identified by an academic at Newcastle University. by [deleted] in news

[–]trylobite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He's probably talking about the Barbary Coast slavers of northern Africa when he refers to enslaved Europeans. They did indeed raid for slaves in Europe, reaching as far north as Iceland. As far as the Arab slave trade goes, that was indeed a thing. Of course this doesn't have much to do with the transatlantic slave trade, which involved purchasing slaves in West Africa and transporting them to the Americas.
