You mean they aren't selling the MAKE SPACE GREAT AGAIN hats?

Nono. There's just a Blorg fandom. At least that's why I think Ordie wants to see some Blorg shirts. (Not that he himself is one, but I'm seeing quite a few "Death to the Blorg" posts)

I'm kinda hyped and got myself the Nova Edition (25% off on GMG). It still was a lot of money and I hope I can forget my hunger while playing.

I just miss the Stellaris Sign-Up icon, because I didn't notice this promo clicker game at all... I like the icons, but on the other hand I never really post there.

OK, i need a system check here: I have an early i3, a 750ti, 4 gigs 1066 ram, and 64 bit windows 10. Can I run this game at at least non-minimum settings? Need to know before I decide to buy!

Should be fine, going by the system requirements on Steam. You might not be able to play on larger galaxies without a fair bit of lag though.

You should be able to run just fine on your specs. Clausewitz doesn't run anymore than 32bit though, but supports 64bit.

Pre-purchased off Green Man Gaming-that 25% off was too good to resist . Can't wait for Monday!

I think it would be pretty awesome if you could manipulate the DNA of a non-space faring race.

You can meddle in the development of primitives, yeah. How much depends on your government's ethoses/policies.

Apparently slave races can't revolt for the release.

It doesn't inspire confidence in my pre-order that such a massive mechanic could be missing from the game. Slavery focused empires sound like they have no real downsides since it's so easy to stack slavery tolerance and the lack of any risk from owning slaves.

I've been worried about the lack of complexity since release and this only increases it. I guess at least it will be fixed in a $25 DLC down the road.

They use the nightly builds so... maybe it won't be?  The Reddit post says it hasn't been confirmed for release or not.

It seems like a small happiness malus would be reasonable stopgap?  Seeing as how rebellions seem fairly common with no maluses at all.  Or a large happiness malus but reduced ethics impact (since slaves are likely less ideological due to their larger, more immediate problems).  Or slaves cannot rebel via normal mechanics unless they outnumber the number of defense armies on the planet, but there are negative events related to slavery including one that causes a rebellion regardless.

Man, Paradox really wants me to take slaves. They put slave modifiers on all the stuff I want (collectivist, xenophobe, divine mandate) and now this?

Sounds like we can expect slave rebellions at some point, but not terribly soon.

Come now, even the base game has more going on than, say, Civ V with expansions. It only lacks complexity compared to other Paradox strategy titles... with expansions.

I was also going to go for a slavery empire, but no rebellions doesn't seem fun.

Wow they've really flubbed that one. RIP PDS, you will be missed.
