Re: More details on the DLC!

I really like the idea of having more unique technologies you can uncover that could really mix up your standard tech order/ship design. For example you get some really useful ship component blueprint from an artifact but you don't have the reactor tech to equip it so you change your plans around th...

You don't want to end up like Stellaris where the best ship design in the game is the starting corvette design with no upgrades.

Re: Which is your favorite race and why?

Yoral have the nicest looking ships. Also strong production + large habitability range = win.

But I also really like Imperials because I played Hivers is SotS and the gate network really does make managing stuff late-game much easier.

Give me exact percentage for how much will researching Subspace Networking reduce ship costs.

Re: Some quick feedback

I have disruptors that I nicked from the imperials. I only research economic tech and steal all else in battle.

Re: Some quick feedback

Stations and planetary defenses are my bane with their large crew numbers. Can't really touch their prime worlds due to defenses.

Re: Some quick feedback

In my Human game my mainline design is a destroyer with a boarding pod in the medium slot. Deviously effective and cheap to pump out from the single factory worlds. Right now my opponents all use beams so the small PD slots all ships come with are somewhat wasted. My current human game can be summed...

Re: Some quick feedback

I remember that every single civ game has had some kind of expansion penalty in one form or another. Corruption (distance from capital), health, happiness, city upkeep and possibly more that I can't currently remember. I think I overall like the idea, it will always be better to expand as much as po...

Re: Some quick feedback

Some more feedback: Battle AI needs to focus fire and concentrate fire on more dangerous hostiles first, right now they can be bogged down with a mass of scout ships that have near zero offensive capacity but can withstand spinning around and absorbing shots into shields for multiple turns while the...

Re: Please Report Missing and/or Placeholder Text

From the Ship Information screen you can instead of a ship click on the faction crest and the details panel will say something like:

Human Fleet
Missing info for "Human Fleet"

Re: Some quick feedback

I mean if a feature is not implemented then it is better to hide it in the UI until it is ready. If you don't hide it people might get frustrated and perceive the game as unfinished.

Re: Stars in Shadow Development Roadmap

I love the idea of "Sales Commandos". Its like door to door salesmen, but with guns.

Some quick feedback

First of all, wow the game has come a long way since I last played it, but it still does not feel exactly complete. Now to feedback: I have a weird issue with win10, after Alt-Tabbing from the fullscreen game all the graphics become garbled (can be fixed by changing the game to windowed and back fro...

Re: Tinkers as a mayor faction

"Go Away" is a nice touch.

That missile cruiser design looks very odd to me, the overall style idea of Tinker ships is interesting but seems a little busy to my eyes.

Are we ever getting race specific orbital station designs?

Re: Suggest - Features and Improvements

I think I have to pay some more attention to planet graphics as I did not know that there was a difference between a low fertility and high fertility ocean worlds.
