I've played a hundred or so hours at this point. It's a nice 4x game that needs a completely overhauled combat system. Once they tweak it a bit, it'll be worth playing, until then, after you get to "mid/late game" it blows. Not to mention the "random" events are a lot less random your 3rd and 4th play through.

I've heard that if you have Titans and Robots on the same planet, you can get Giant Robot armies.

TEETANS?

what's the fleet combat like?

Blob vs. blob. Deciding how many ships you commit, the designs of those ships and your initial position are all important.

Here's a guy fighting off Vorlons.

The sector system is absolutely horrid. Its a chore to micromanage them because the sector AI is stupid. Fleet management UI needs to be improved.

There is definitely some issue with formation. If i have a huge mixed fleet, i found most of my large ships not engaging the enemy because they are out of range, the smaller ships at the front is in the way. I ended up dividing fleets based on types or into smaller smaller fleets, which can be a pain with the shitty UI

I was hoping for SotS fleet combat, especially since the 2nd one was such a disappointment.

Better sector AI is one of their priorities for the upcoming patch.

I was wondering what would be some good /m/ shows that could be used to base mods around. Most shows I know take place in the Earth sphere and don't really extend beyond the solar system at all.

What can be used besides coming up with what if's (what if this group had won their conflict and extended to the rest of the galaxy)?

There's the previously mentioned LoGH and Banner of the Stars, any of the races from Star Trek or Babylon 5 (though that's more /tv/ than /m/), the UN Spacy/NUNS, Gargantia's Galactic Alliance of Humankind... I'm sure there's tons more.

Playing the EVA mod.

It has EVA units and some pretty decent custom stuff no other mod has.

update

>sectors won't produce and manage their own army
>sectors don't do anything but drain resources and strain power
Like what's the fucking point of sectors.

>>14264561
They do upgrade the buildings you give them, they're just terrible about building their own.

Yeah, I find the best strat on the current patch to be build what you want there at base, and allow ai to upgrade so they don't spam 400% food necessary. Not being able to transit food is so fucking lame, how hard would that be to implement, at least within your sector or owned space.

>>14263707
I haven't been able to play a game past 100 years yet. I just keep restarting. I'm pretty sure I'm not buying this.

stellaris' combat at it's core is largely no different than any other paradox game, it's all about the numbers game the major difference here is you can customise your units and you can see them in do things combat (but still not be able to take control of things) as opposed to CK2's or EU4's more abstract representation.
