I'm a little curious; was there any thought behind the meaning of the iconography for the different empires? Humanity's symbol is, of course, obvious. The Yoral symbol is likewise obviously a stylised Yoral hand. It's hard to tell, but the symbol for the Gremak Empire might be based on an abstract ...

So, I have to ask, why does the culture system require the character system? It's not immediately obvious that institutional features would need 'hero characters', so I'm wondering what's planned about the implementation that forces the dependency. (For all I know, it could be an excellent reason ...

For what it's worth, I'd welcome a balance change to boarding pods. They're sufficiently exploitative in my mind that I refuse to use them entirely.

Oh, that's pretty, that is.

Oh, I agree that Human claims to represent any old Human nation are definitely very weak. But I can see a psychological/ideological case for a pan-Humanist policy amongst the Human leadership. I'm not saying it would be convincing to Human splinter colonies, but rather that Humans in the primary ...

game_9871: An issue I've noticed several times, but have never bothered to report since it's mostly just a 'wart' rather than a real bug. If you re-establish diplomatic relations with another star nation on the same turn you diplomatically annex another star nation with which you had an active ...

When scrapping a transport, its content should probably be sent to the nearest planet. Possibly using another transport from the trade pool so as to avoid turning that into a fast-travel exploit somehow.

Full agreement. I don't think genocide should be that trivial. (This still won't stop mass ...

I'm honestly just glad if you do anything to make Viscids less unbearable. Their current implementation is just really, really annoying and jarring. Fine, they're agricultural pests, but they continually grow in population and choke out your own population, with absolutely nothing to show for it and ...

Where did you write about ideas for race-unique buildings? Do you have a link?

One question I had- what does 'Scrupulous' reflect in the Tinker AI, and why do they have it? Most of the other descriptors in the diplomacy screen for side AI I've identified ways that it makes their behavior distinctive, but I'm less clear both on what that means and why, conceptually, Tinkers ...

That's a welcome change to hear. The behavior of discontent cyborgs struck me as a bit odd before.

Honestly, I see nothing wrong with the cyborg model being treated as essentially slavery, and it not always seamlessly working with species that haven't been perfected for their role in the machine. The key thing here is that both slaves and harmonised persons are prevented from pursuing individual ...

Things are still in flux, so any explanation is likely to be obsolete by the time I make it. But, hopefully (and if I can get my act together with some needed art assets) a beta test version will be available before too long.

(And no, no specific ETA at present.)

What's that? New fertility ratings? Fertility isn't just low, high, or infertile anymore? Tell us more!

(And if this means there's a further incentive to stick agriculture on gaia worlds, I am all for it; it seems appropriate.)
