Is it supposed to be possible to transport military units in colony ships?
Yes. As Chasm pointed out, you can load any ground unit (which includes colonists, armored units, or raider units) into any ship capable of carrying population, but they may not be able to perform that ship's main function ...

Yeah, apparently having them being hunch-backed hand wringing hook-nosed money grubbers is too un-PC for this day and age.

So, they announced the release of a DLC that will include the gholam



Trilarians (Cthulhu much?)



and Elerians

After playing it a lot more I have to say that I love Stellaris' early game to death but once you expand a little and get surrounded by other empires it kinda bogs down and becomes repetative, with you moving your big-blob-o'-ships from one target to the next until you hit a bigger blob than yours ...

I am playing as the Orthin, and have just opened the diplomatic screen for the first time.



Director Ten Shells is looking a little... redder than usual.

Not sure if it is a bug or working as intended...

When playing as Humans, you get a Heavy Cruiser at the beginning of the game. As soon as you build your first Space Station, you are able to refit the cruiser as you want (I added deflectors as soon as I researched them). However, once ...

Been playing Stellaris for the last few days and I have to say I'm underwhelmed... I like the random events and the lore you find along the way, but the game plays more like Sins of a Solar Empire than a 'serious' 4X game.

The ship design is basic, weapons are not very diverse and tactical depth ...

Do Science Stations actually generate science? I thought it's not implemented yet. :?

Yes. I snuck the feature in in one of last week's patches -- it was bundled with some more significant metal/wrench balance changes ;)

Also, shouldn't stations, unlike outposts, have at least some ...

Not sure what happened exactly, but after installing the latest update (02:02.00PM Saturday, 03/19/16 (15039) : 98e4775a41e75df656318c1ec2d81181e0587aa2), my Update.exe file now has 0 bytes and, of course, won't run.
*edit*
'Reinstalling' the game using sis_installer.exe fixed the problem.

Just a simple Research building Icon change

I waited a few turns after I researched the this research building improvement http://i.imgur.com/Z6zrrW5.jpg , but it still displays the second Research building type on planets http://i.imgur.com/hiWFzvl.jpg

It's the 'colored improvements' button ...

Occasionally, when exploring, you will get a pop-up window that says that you discovered the remains of an ancient civilization on a planet. I guess this means that there are facilities on the planet that can be activated and used? However, unless you remember the name of the planet, I can't figure ...

Something's off with the mouse pointer when I try to use the option to recall trade ships currently trading on trade routes back to a system.

When I place the ship cursor over my home system of Tyl, the Aldebaran system is selected:
