hm. Start with a (armed?) colony ship & a small defensive fleet, and the war fleet of a very hostile machine empire occupying your home system (that has several planets inhabited by your species), and you have to start by heading out into the galaxy to find a new world to settle and build a fleet to retake the home system. With the special ability to settle that only colony on a planet inhabited by a pre-FTL species! With different events for where along the path that pre-FTL species is. Still: the hardest start ever? In effect not having a homeworld at start is pretty darn hardcore even without having an enemy empire that has at least two systems at the start, and your colony ship starting in one of those systems. Insane. Gotta love it. Something like that?

I really hope there will be some events, like you research cloak scanners tier 2 and detect a derelict ship that can be an archaeology site.

"Becoming a pacifist after being invaded by aliens" It makes sense for Stellaris Pacifism, which is effective defensive violence only. They already have events where pops go pacifist after settle on tomb worlds, so a cataclysmic battle for existence could reasonably make a civ never want to wage offensive war again, even if their systems and worlds are brimmed with defensive weapons.

I would imagine the "Eager Explorers" civic would give unity for advancements in exploration, such as surveying systems.

I hope that cloaking introduces some mechanics that encourages you to patrol your systems to actively try detect cloaked vessels by like flying either Science ships or like corvettes with big sensors around your empire. The only reason to patrol within your borders now is to counter piracy, but that is like a non-issue at every stage of the game. Now this is making me wish that there were more ways to increase ship experience outside combat, like patroling ships instead of keeping em docked would increase exp to a certain point.

I think the importance of the research options from pre-ftl civis changes with playing tall or wide. For a tall empire, they don´t really give much, but for a wide one, I see them as a really good bonus.

Payback Earth + Broken Shackles with Humans let's fucking go

Oohh, I hadn't seen the updates to Quantum Catapult yet. Some interesting buffs to both the megastructure and the origin. It seems like they overestimated the usefulness of the megastructure in the eyes of the player and what getting it early actually granted. It makes me curious to see what a max upgraded catapult with the origin would look like accuracy wise now at long range. Still, even if your armada gets split up some with a longer launch, the +50% fire rate is a pretty massive boost on arrival that may compensate at least some for not all of your fleets arriving in the same system, especially if they're still close enough to survive in the system they land in and converge on the target system at roughly the same time. Between Insight Technologies, Archeotech (of which I'm looking forward to the reworked Remnants origin), and cloaking, there's a lot of goodies coming with first contact and the next update. They're not all game changers, but they are interesting little additions. I doubt there'd be stiff penalties for de-cloaking. They've already said that they envision a benefit of cloaking is to deliver a sucker punch (though I'm not entirely sure how as if you have to decloak to shoot, their return fire will only be momentarily behind your alpha strike), and having cloaking turn that punch into a slap seems counter-intuitive. In general mechanics terms, moving slow while invisible is a pretty common theme and trade-off, so it's just a matter of exactly how much slow you are. Basically, if you want to move around unseen, you're going to take longer to get there, so cloaking is more about either avoiding contact altogether or getting into position before a decisive strike. It would be interesting to know if cloaked ships, military or civilian, can get around FTL-Inhibitors, as that would mean you could use a collection of random construction or science ships to spy on neighboring systems. And speaking of those civilian ships, a cloaked Battlewright construction ship or Arctrellis science ship could make for a nasty surprise, especially in multiplayer where I would think most people would end up with AI combat computers eventually, and that special science ship means they're ships enter a system to fight in a surprise weakened state.

Something about economic efficiency even through little things like a reduction of station upkeep by 50% gets me going

@Montu Plays 6:58 Star Trek ships CANNOT fire while cloaked, nor can they have shields up.

My thought on seeing the ‘Revenge’ bit possibilities you mentioned… Time to open the Book of Grudges.

I certainly hope they don't nerf damage coming out of cloak. Sublight speed reduction, shield strength/regen, I could definitely see. As you're routing power back to defensive platforms. But the whole purpose of a stealthed combat ship is the sneak attack Alpha strike. If that's nerfed into the floor, there's no point having cloaked combat ships at all.

Did no one notice: hive mind pre ftls?! Thats so exciting

yea i like the example of the hivemind that was pretty intresting

Quick thought, Larger fleets get a speed penalty by default even when otherwise optimum due to fact that large formations will have a number of ships that need engine maintanance slowing the entire fleet down more. Smaller fleets will have a lower probability of ships needing maintanance.

I predict that Slingshot to the Stars is going to be an extremely powerful origin. Very cheap colonization and early quantum catapult is going to be massive.

i have a rather complicated solution to the problem with Yeeting multiple fleets with the catapult... merge all the fleets (or as much as your fleet limit will let you), catapult the one BIG fleet, then pause and split the fleet back up before they get into combat?? the reassigning of your leaders is probably going to be annoying tho. but it COULD be used, i think. for a rare fast strike, or to get past another empire that's in your way to the one you want to attack.

The best thing about quantum catapult origin for me is cheaper influence if you need to skip the system and grab habitable planet quicker or just a high value system whether that value comes from economical or military tactic position
