Isn't it also like really rare? It's got a 2% chance of happening when you get a covenant, and even those aren't especially common.

It seems like the ultimate way to troll an MP game. Of course, you can't... but how glorious it would be if you could.

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.
Seems to work fine with my copy. As soon as I loaded the human caravan came by and the world burst into fire.

I think the end cycle event is disabled for MP without mods
Right. No fun allowed.

Then yeah. I can't think of any reason to choose Psi over the other two.

Hell, Psi actively sabotages you a lot of the times with the Shroud.

You also get psi shields and psi jump drives, right?  Psi shields are the best in the game, better even than the dark matter deflectors from fallen empires, and psi jump drives are supremely annoying to defend against.

I usually find that by the time I'm rolling dice in the shroud, any debuff it grants is inconsequential (except for the research one).

It would be nice if trade-centered star nations had to depend heavily on lanes, thereby altering their play strategies and effective war plans against them.

Yeah, that'd be pretty great, a nice an natural way of punishing empires that overextend themselves by making them vulnerable to outside predation.

ib4 trade is immune to enemy occupation but war wariness reduces it or something.

Just think of the most gamey and least fun way of implementing it and there you go, true Stellaris style

Seconded, I love systems that allow me to fight wars with strategies more complex than "have the biggest numbers". The idea of separating an ecumenopolis from the empire's breadbasket and forcing them into starvation or trade deals that sap materiel while they're trying to reinforce their fleets is making me salivate

Megacorp announced for December 6th. Pretty soon, sooner then I thought.

I guess that's also a release date for Le Guin since they're coming down together

December 6th is much earlier than I expected.  I was doubting they'd release it before January at this rate, especially considering the kinds of bugs and unfinished interfaces they mention during the dev clashes.

Not going to complain though.  I'm sure it'll need several bugfix releases soon after the initial launch, so the sooner it's out, the sooner those can get done.

I mean, they probably are hoping to be big enough for a Christmas sales push.
