Yes, and it'll kill off half the usable mods in the process.  Still, new content and better systems are always something to look forward to.

The mods will be updated in time. Better to improve the base system and let other content catch up than to have a polished turd of a game.

[ZeroGravitas]

Wow, they're releasing EU4 and Stellaris expansions the same week!

Such choices!

[MorleyDev]

The paradox cycle:
* Vanilla playthrough
* Slightly Modded playthrough
* Stupidly modded playthrough
* New version releases
* Vanilla playthrough

...Come to think about it, that's also the Dwarf Fortress cycle.

And with the amount of extra hooks for resources they've added to this release, the Stellaris modding scene could get pretty interesting.

Noticed no one linke the really good trailer. Also I guess it's pretty much confirmed now that the trailers from Utopia onwards are forming a storyline.

I feel a deep sense of hollowness in my literary gut, I feel like we missed out on a sick narrative-based strategy game and instead got a shallow 4X with a billion plates of DLC to make it THICC
Nevertheless, fucking ace. Tickles my fancy for deepest lore

Maybe these trailers are an extended teaser for an eventual story mode DLC.

As a fairly casual Paradox player picking up some Stellaris DLC, should I bother with the Story Packs (and I'm assuming species packs sit at the far end of 'no')? I'm eyeballing Utopia and Apocalypse... and probably MegaCorp in a few years. And if it makes a difference, I tend towards an economic dominance playstyle.

[Telgin]

Utopia is good, and probably the one I'd recommend most.  The story packs are pretty light on content though, in my opinion, so I wouldn't push for them if you're not planning or able to get them all.

Not looked at the game in nearly a year. Have they reverted the FTL changes they made in version 2.0 yet? I'm still pissed off that they did that.

[Criptfeind]

Nope. Also, forgive me if I'm mistaken, but if your use of the word yet implies you think they will eventually, I think you will be disappointed, because it seems highly unlikely that it will ever be reverted.

lolol never happen

[Dutrius]

Shame. Stellaris was one of my favourite games before 2.0.

[Criptfeind]

Honestly the game is better off with the change. I'd understand frustration with it if you loved one of the other ftl options (personally I played them all a few times and then modded the game to be hyperlane only). You should try the game again (after the next update) with an open mind. It's... Still not perfect, but I think it's better then it used to be.

[Dutrius]

It's not that I loved the others. It's that hyperlane is the only one I actively despise in any space themed game. I've looked at plenty of games and was turned off of them instantly when I discovered they were hyperlane based.

There are no railroads in space.
