can you share ship designs with friends (or the community) ?

What is this!?! Are we actually gonna have a good 4X game in the 2000's?
This isn't a 4x game. It starts off like that, but it's a paradox grand strategy game in the end. They are a whole different kettle of fish.
I presume you mean good sci-fi 4x game, because we've had plenty of good non-sciss games (Civ 5, Endless Legend). Heck even Endless Space was a damn decent game so not even sure about about that!

Only the first part of the game follows the 4X model. After that it's more conventional Paradox strategy/diplomacy.

Seems I'll need to create a Federation of some sorts to keep you barbaric warmongers at bay!
I want to see them all animated first. Some of the ones I've seen so far looked pretty crappy but the animation added just enough to make them a lot better.
At the moment I do like that reptilian second from the left on the bottom row. He looks completely unimpressed with everything.

It means they're more tolerant towards being enslaved for 'the greater good'. Makes sense to me.

Exquisite!
My question was ofc based on my very biased and partly provocative opinion of not enjoying any sci-fi 4X game since the original MOO, but this is very interesting.. A Hybrid "diplomatic/strategic - 4X"! Very nice! Thanks for replys, I have to look more closely on this one..
The lore about The Orzes are interesting though. I knew too little about them, apart from they aren't native to the quadrant of space where SC2 began, and they ate the Androsynths.

First contact responses for Fanatic Materialist Xenophobe's are quite different:
I didn't realise there was a space Ara race..

You can create templates and then set the % chance those races show up, but otherwise everything is generated.

Finally decided to get the Nova so that's pre-ordered now.
As people seem to have given alot of thought about the races they will play have any of you thought about the FTL types you'll use?
For me the first game will be Hyperlanes or Warp with all options available for the other races. Second game I definitely want to do an only Wormholes play through.

Out of curiosity, has there been any footage of the combat? Is there combat? Or do you just click and it automates?

Thanks, appreciated. Doubly thanks for linking to the specific part.
Ah man, that first one... Yuuzahn Vong anyone? Awesome.
I had to think of the Tyranids.

Give it a day for mods to unlock the government types from the ethoi
And it essentially means how willing they are to sacrifice their personal freedoms for the greater good. They might not even call it slavery in the right cultural context. A caste system with a large dedicated labor caste, for instance, or a serfdom.
Definitely going hyperlanes. Will tool around with Wormholes at some point, but Hyperlanes is going to be my default setting fo sho.
Yarp.
It's implied they're a hive-mind, which I don't know how to represent here. I also gave the Mycon a shot but didn't know how best to represent their attributes (the super resilient attribute cost too many points.)
Man, I can already the see the hours this game is going to suck out of me
I'm not that familiar with 40K lore, but after a quick google session I agree that they probably also fit the description.
I'll do the same as you more or less. Humans/Warp on first playthrough, wormholes in a later round.

Hive mind is I think something you can unlock later. It's a government type tied to technology.
Fanatic Collectivist + whatever for flavor is a good starting game approximation of something that'd turn into a hive mind pretty easily.

Stellaris Dev Diary #30 - Late Game Crises
Edit: Oh, I'm late
Shit just got realWe’re getting close to release and there is not much left to talk about that we haven’t already covered. The only remaining major feature is, I believe, the “Late Game Crises” events, and I really don’t want to spoil them, so bear with me if I’m being slightly vague this time…
Edit: Oh, I'm late
I really hope next week's DD will be as extensive (and promising) as the one HOI IV got last Friday: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...-iron-iv-development-diary-52-modding.920875/
Man, this game...
And to make things even better he clarified that with the right techs you can make your empire's dominant race robots... which is exactly what my first playthrough is going to be.

Trying to make the Meklars?
Oh yes
... although they better make something like cyborgs/cybernetic enhancements a possibility instead of just straight robots!Poodlestrike

Dev diary also tangentially confirms organic ships as a Thing That Can Happen, so that's cool
I wanna try and deliberately cause a late game disaster like the energy being invasion to try and stop the robopocalypse. How damn cool would that be?

I am really interested what kind of tech and stuff you unlock when you capture the ringworld Sanctuary. I hope it will allow you to build ringworlds of your own.

Hopefully they spent those 600,000 years thinking of a better name than 'Cybrex'
