It's been a while since the last Stars in Shadow update, and I've been waiting for some of the improvements in the pipe before I get back into playing Stars in Shadow heavily. That said, the next major update and DLC expansion to Stellaris will allow lots of tools for making interesting corporate governments, and I'm trying to think which civics and ethics best fit for the Phidi Combine. For ethos, my suspicion is that they'd best be represented as Pacifist/Xenophile/Egalitarian (I can go into the Stellaris ethos system if people are curious). For civics...

I assembled a list of known (thus far) corporate civics we'll have in Megacorp here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showt ... t489195913 I'll have to choose two, and I'm considering what two would be most flavor-appropriate. Anybody have any thoughts? Sven or Arioch, of course, would take priority if they had thoughts.

Free Traders and Trading Posts seem appropriate.

Thanks. I think I can work with that.
