Seems like the robot update is "give them the good bit of Biological" mostly. I hope this means there's going to be new biological goodies and not just shafting the path that would be coolest if it got proper development.

Also, I keep reading "positronic" as "postironic" and imagining hipster robots.
They did acknowledge that this will make robotic ascension more powerful and so as part of 1.8 they'll do a balance pass on the other paths as well.

I'm not talking about power or balance. I don't care about that since I don't play this game competitively. I'm talking about depth and uniqueness of play experience.

I wonder if there's going to be a biological equivalent to domestic protocols...

There already is in Utopia, in the form of the 'Domestic Servitude' slavery type set in species rights.

I wonder if the owner system the robots have going for them will extend to some slave types.

Loud Whispers, you should really pitch that swarm idea to Paradox. Maybe they can make it more stable if they ever implement it? ;)
One can hope

Unfortunately, only way to get an idea into the base game I to make a very successful overhaul mid that uses it, or to get it into several such mods, and it's too early in the development cycle for that to be a thing anyway.

It's that time of the week again. Dev Diary #79: Ship Component & Balance Changes.

Spoiler: RIP Naked Corvette (click to show/hide)

My guess is the next DD is the announcement for the expansion.

Sounds like they're doing a pretty good job addressing the various combat complaints. The new picket behavior for destroyers sounds especially nice.

Does this mean flak cruisers are no longer going to be a thing?  I rather liked their style.  Ah, c'est la guerre.

Good change for the destroyers, but I'd really rather see a variety of options for each tier of ship. My artillery cruisers and close range autocannon cruisers really shouldn't have the same behavior.

Really it would make more sense to have behaviours divorced from ship computers and hulls, so that a destroyer need not always be a picket ship nor a battleship need always be a sniper or a corvette be the only good ship
