My Emperor, I suggest a new tactic: In times of peace, when we get a large fleet of say 1500 power, split it into 4 or 5 groups and spread them throughout our Empire. Thus, threats such as asteroids heading to planets and other trivial things can be dealt with without moving the entire navy! And in times of war, we can just re-combine the Task Forces (The name of the proposed mini-fleets) and smash the enemy! All in favour?
Firebolt1089 You have a good idea no doubt but say a large fleet traps one of these ( Task Forces) and there are no reinforcements in the surrounding systems? What then.
cpt.dx19 501st legion We'd be at war by then, the Task Forces would be all grouped up and ready to drive some invaders back. In war, unless the enemy fleets are below 100 power or something, the Task Forces would be one fleet. Really, this tactic is only useful in peace time to give domestic fleets more flexibility
From the desk of Senator Evelyn - The early successes of our Imperial forces against the Predator menace has brought great pride to our people. However, I urge my emperor not to grow complacent. Our experience shows us that greater threats remain which may challenge our supremacy; our friendly neighbors today may turn violent enemies tomorrow, large pirate fleets still harass our shipping and endanger our civilians, and the galaxy still holds unknown terrors that may strike at any moment. To combat this, our empire must have stronger ships with more diverse combat capabilities. I urge my senatorial colleagues to vote for an initiative that will allow our scientific community to continue their work to identify and construct greater warships to aid in the expansion of our empire, and the defense of all of it citizens. Glory to the Empire!
Citizens of the glorious XPG Empire, rejoice! Today, a devestating blow has been struck against the enemy. The Predator Clans world of Riblagga in the Beznar system has fallen to the superior might and spirit of the Imperial 501st Legion. What follows is a transcript of the speech by the commander of the ground forces, who m,ust remain anonymous at this time, on the eve of the invasion. "My fellow citizens. What you are about to experience is something your generation has never truly known; war. When you disembark from your landing craft, you will be setting foot on a world unlike anything you have ever known. You will be facing a hostile and crafty enemy. You will be afraid. But, my soldiers, do not let that fear become your master. You are soldiers of the 501st, a military regiment with a long and proud history. You have been equipped with the best weapons, training and strategies in the Empire. If we win here, we announce to enemies and allies alike that the we are not a backwater nation state, but the ascendant power in this galaxy. Remember your oaths of service. Remember your families back home on New Terra. And most of all, remember the brothers that stand beside you. Now, let us show the Predator Clans what it means to make an enemy of the XPG Empire!"
Shack, the habitability percentage also says how happy your people will be on the planet. DON'T COLONIZE RED PLANETS AND BE CAUTIOUS WHEN COLONIZING YELLOW PLANETS, because if you're people get too unhappy, then their output will be reduced, and they will probably join factions and even rebel!
***** we'll have to be careful, obedience is all well and good, but if they become to simplistic and lose some independent thought their combat effectiveness will drop... maybe we could redirect their hunter culture into a select group of clones with fail safes implanted in them, a clone commando unit you could say. maybe even get a imperially enlightened Predator to train them
Shack, I think that you should try and individually name each infantry division eg: "1st Terran Conquerors" "Atlantean Mechanised" "The Emperor's Chosen"
Shack, you don't have to go to the contact screen to communicate with another empire. Just click on the Empire's insignia beside the name of anything owned by them and it takes you right to the communication screen. I really hope you see this, it's been driving me crazy since season 1
It's unfortunate we don't get to see Stormtroopers duking it out in close quarters combat vs Predators on their jungle world in a graphical way in this game. The lack of ground combat like in EAW is the only thing this game lacks in my view
Getting the bigger ships would be useless, it would take too many resources to produce them right now but the mining networks would help with that. Also keep pushing in the predators, they don't have a fleet to fight with and they are getting attacked from all sides, the focus should be taking their territory the faster as possible with the least casualties possible, you need all you have and more to fight the pirate fleets.
Wayland Yutani go beyond just Colonial Marines. Take the excellent first 2 movies. Also they exist in the Firefly universe (watch the pilot when Mal shoots down the ship at the start) and the Operative in the movie Serenity says that he's "Building better worlds".
I just bought stellaris on steam in thinking about running the a galaxy divided mod. Your two seasons have made me want to play this badly! You sir will be my admiral!
I am SO glad you went for the frontier outpost. You kept missing them in series 1 and I found it hard not to shout at the monitor. ;) As, you know, monitors have feeling too.
Agg!!! Shack, you're not paying enough attention!! on all 3 of your planets there were populations not doing anything because there is no building on their tile.. They're just bringing in whatever base resource that style contains two of your planet's had populations that were already on power producing tiles that need nothing more than a power plant to be built in order to bring in more power. you've got to focus a little bit more on what's happening around you rather than being so quick and excited to jump on to the next thing. I know Stellaris can be a little difficult to focus on because there are literally so many things going on in every direction, but if you don't pay close enough attention you miss a number of opportunities to solve the issues that you face!! this has been almost the only game that I have been playing for the last couple of months. and in that time I have become fairly good at it. keep it up though, you keep playing I'll keep watching. Oh and one last thing.... MORE OF THRAWN'S REVENGE PLZ!!!!!
Yes, this, all of it. Also "where's my other science ship?" moused over it in civilian list three times "What happened to it?" So little focus = so many squandered resources.
And it's not just that either, when he sees an unemployment warning, he goes there, and builds on top of tiles that have resources on them, while COMPLETELY ignoring the populations on tiles with zero resources. Thereby never solving the unemployment problem he was facing in the first place!! It's all kind of stupid in the first place actually.... considering that I am just nitpicking at little tiny parts of an incredibly complex game. It's easy for me (us) to watch, criticize, and judge decisions being made very quickly, in an attempt to maintain the entertainment value of the video. It's important to remember that, he has to keep the episode sufficiently interesting enough to ensure that his subscribers keep watching.
LOVE it. I think that you need to just focus on upgrading your ships and maxing out that ship cap. Victory through overwhelming firepower. It's only a matter of time until the Themlar turn on you and you need to be ready!
Shack a heads up on power abilities... you may want to build power hubs on planets with more than 3 power stations. That way you get a lot more power later on.
new shipyard tech leads to first true Star Destroyers, and the one after that i believe you can build interdictors. and that science ship you lost is in orbit of one of you colonies.
I actually got the pleasure of using Deflectors. Place them on your Cruisers, and they can decimate every pirate fleet you come across! Don't pass them up! They could be fairly expensive, but damn effective.
Shack, as you get the larger capital ships such as cruisers and battleships, you should let subs be captains if the smaller corvettes and destroyers. This would keep you in constant supply of willing recruits.
"We dont have the ground troops to invade." Doesnt even look at the planet he's bombarding to check the ground forces. Attention to detail is nice, you should try it something shack.
Shack! I know I'm not a patron, but please consider these suggestions for destroyers: "Mad Jack Churchill" - named after a British soldier in WW2 who is famous for charging into battle wielding a sword and playing the bagpipes, escaping a Nazi prison camp, capturing 200 Nazis in one night with only his sword, having the only confirmed kill in the war with a longbow, and generally being a bad**s (Captained by Cpt. Satoshi Tajiri, or Lord Helix if a Sith Lord) "Leeroy Jenkins" - named after a WoW player who is famous for becoming an Internet star by accident (watch the video) (Captained by Cpt. Richard Garriott, or Lord British if a Sith Lord) "Ironhide" - named after a game development group famous for making the Kingdom Rush trilogy (Captained by Cpt. Anthony Starke, or Lord Denas if a Sith Lord)
I just remembered that predators usually settle on worlds with a xenomorph population (if not that some planet with good game for example humans) so all the people who have seen the alien series you know what might be happening to those poor imperials
My glorious Emperor, I must advise you to upgrade our shipyards, we must stay on top of our military research and ensure we are building the best ships we possibly can. We must not let the filthy xenos get ahead of us in this regard. I also must bring your attention to a high habitability planet to the galactic southeast of our empire. Expanding here would expand our borders without the influence cost of expensive frontier outposts. Which brings me to my final point. We must declare further war when the time is right to gain better influence if your intentions are to keep our frontier outposts running. I humbly offer this council to you my glorious overlord. The emperor protects.
Shouldnt you focus on diplomacy or maybe even welfare for Xenos? (I mean look at the empire in the movies they could have avoided the rebellion if they focused on a much more peaceful approach) *Two Guards enter the room from another door and grabs hold of me and drags me away* Wait..I was kidding..Kill the Xenos!...Ahhh *Blaster fire could be heard from behind the doors*
Our Grand and Glorius Emperor we must push for more ships by researching into advanced starports because it is imperative to strengthen and diversify our fleets. Then and only then may our glorious empire spread it's light through the stars for all of eternity to come.
Hey Shack, you know you can build things like power plants, farms and mines on empty tiles and get a few resources, not as much as ones on tiles with them, but a little extra
"We have had one of our governors die, valiantly testing a new fighter design, yet no means to take the vessels to our enemies! What travesty is this. I propose that the Imperial Engineers begin drafting carrier designs posthaste!"
Shack, don't build power stations on every energy credit placement on a planet, build a power hub. A power hub increase the entire planets energy credits that you get, which will help you a lot with your power shortage.
Take the Predator territory, so everyone knows that you're in charge and then add the ship upgrade to get your fleet stronger, so you can start to rule the galexy
I recommend the Arquitens as the jack of all trades ship, with the best armor, shields, and weapons. Use the Broadside as the artillery ship. Right now, use the UV laser, as it's your best weapon currently, and if you decide to get better torpedoes or missiles, you can just switch it out then. The star destroyer shaped one is the Imperial Raider, designed as an anti-fighter ship. I suggest using them as fast, heavily armed and lightly armored fast response ships along the border. Their purpose wouldn't be to defeat the enemy if they arrive in force, but they could buy enough time for your fleet to show up. Also, can the corvettes mount point defense? If so, I recommend outfitting the IG88s as point defense barges, providing the defense for the fleet allowing the other ships to concentrate on killing the enemy.
Your Intelligence agents indicate that taking the Predator Homeworld may lead to problems with the Themlar as we increase our Boards to abut theirs, its to soon to risk open war with the Insectoids.
@Deckard575 Dear good sir, I, Imperial Inquisitor (yes, the shadowy task force you have probably heard of through rumours, yes, we are real), humbly suggest the following ideas: - We should not rush the Advance Spaceport first. Building better spaceport when having inadequate technology and economy is simply stupid. I prefer researching deep mining network III (also known as "Deep core mining") in order to gain another boost in mineral - Should the chance arise, I suggest researching on Betharian stone - so far, I saw one deposit on one of our planets - If the situation allows us, developing nuclear missiles would give us tremendous advantage in both space combat and orbital bombardment - I suggest developing two to three variants of the destroyer-class, one "artillery" platform (with UV energy, strong shield and hull, medium speed), one "assault platform" (UV or blue lasers, moderate speed and armor)
We in the Intelligence Service have been aware of your efforts on Behalf of the Empire for some time, whilst we in the XIS concentrate on the actions of the other races that surround us for now, we also have agents inplay within the Empire ensuring loyalty to the cause. We have noticed an underdevelopment in energy that may threaten the security of the Empire, and we notice those who do not notice it. We will be watching.
As the Xpg empire prepares for war the themlar are getting ready for a assault on the predator homeworld. Armco started setting up mining outposts on the outer rim of the empire. What will happen next time?!
Shack go big or go home! Get the level IV (4) space stations! We're the empire and we must become the most feared empire in the galaxy! Never shall we let other pitiful species stand in our way like the predators did! For honor!
truly a glorious day for the empire as the newly formed Stormtrooper Corps laid waste to the savage Predator clans while the Imperial Navy rained down imperial might on the pathetic predator fleets
I say my Emperor, you have begun building a mighty fleet. With some of the best weaponry. But don't be too proud of this technological advance. All technological power Is rendered insignificant, next to the power of The Force.
good good , continue with the different class of ships. this war is going well , but the empire probably need new legions for continue conquest and control the others predators planet . the two primitive races need to be survey , same for the dreadnought . after this war , we need to control a new enemy in the south . (two free tasks for a member of the patreon community group ) Can you rename the oceanic planet in the south Rapture ? and if you find a wasteland planet can you rename it Helghan ? and maybe in the future send to bot of them a colony ship ? thanks and glory to the empire !
Emperor Shack you should divide the fleet into different strike wings and have them go to each enemy world and blockade it. Also feel free to take some strike wings and have them attack the Husko just to show them who their messing with.
You should expand, colonize planets and construct power plants, and mining stations for minerals. Only constructing mining operations on planets if its more than 1. Also you should focus more on shields, since all other empires have laser and nuke tech, its a long time before they can use missles that mitigate shields. Long Live the Empire.
I realize that this is a very late comment, but it would have been a good idea to take the Planetary Unification tech much earlier, both to allow you to bank more influence, but also to gain progress down the planetary administration tech line. As your planets grow more pops, you're eventually going to need to upgrade to planetary capitals, and to an empire capital complex on your homeworld, and you'll need those techs to do it
My Emperor, I suggest a new tactic: In times of peace, when we get a large fleet of say 1500 power, split it into 4 or 5 groups and spread them throughout our Empire. Thus, threats such as asteroids heading to planets and other trivial things can be dealt with without moving the entire navy! And in times of war, we can just re-combine the Task Forces (The name of the proposed mini-fleets) and smash the enemy!
All in favour?

Firebolt1089 well I would say aye to your idea
Waste of resources. The empire is too small.
It's still too early for usage of such tactics. Upgrades at our production capacity and engine power of our ships is recommended.
Love watching Shack play games. He's like a hyper active magpie. "I'm going to do this then thi...Oh shiny! What's that?!" :p
From the desk of Senator Evelyn -

I second this! The Empire is in need of more diverse tactics other than run in and kill everything! Thus, more diversity in our ships' armaments!

Just for don t have helghasts !

Quantom Physics
duty, obedience , and loyalty !
Let's also hope that the Wolf scout party has a better fate then the last Wolf fleet.
shack jump right in to the next level of shipyard
Force enslaved predators to colonize some hell hole in the outer rim.
Then rise up and fight back. Starting a rebel alliance and ultimately destroy your empire for the true imperial role play experience.
Nay, purge the Xeno scum, FOR THE GOD EMPEROR!!!!!
Then some blonde hot shot bug blows up your largest space station.
make an army of them, what better way to get rid of an enemy then to turn it into a useful, expendable tool
***** we'll have to be careful, obedience is all well and good, but if they become to simplistic and lose some independent thought their combat effectiveness will drop... maybe we could redirect their hunter culture into a select group of clones with fail safes implanted in them, a clone commando unit you could say. maybe even get a imperially enlightened Predator to train them
Don't forget to research the Clone technology so you can name the troops after clone legions :P (with the old and good imperial armor of course)
I need MORE of this! Shack please make more faster if you can! This is my favorite series on your channel!
Shack, I think that you should try and individually name each infantry division
eg: "1st Terran Conquerors"
"Atlantean Mechanised"
"The Emperor's Chosen"
But each one needs 4-5 to be functional so maybe he should have several groups of 5 or so each with a name.
Crassus you can't rename infantry groups, I've tried, I wish they would fix that
"Where's the other science ship?", mouses over it 3 times. . . . .
So true, so sad, allready his mind three steps ahead, or behind, where he actually was,
Perception -1
Shack, you don't have to go to the contact screen to communicate with another empire. Just click on the Empire's insignia beside the name of anything owned by them and it takes you right to the communication screen. I really hope you see this, it's been driving me crazy since season 1
It's unfortunate we don't get to see Stormtroopers duking it out in close quarters combat vs Predators on their jungle world in a graphical way in this game. The lack of ground combat like in EAW is the only thing this game lacks in my view
even something as simple as ground combat from the second Galactic Civilizations game would do
It would probably look silly as if Predators REALLY faced Stormtroopers it would be an absolute slaughter for the Empire.
CRocketSlim I agree
This game could use ground combat.
I don't think the Predators would be able to shrug off blaster bolts like they do shotgun rounds but then again Storm Troopers.
I like his stelliars intro
I was waiting to see this all week. (:
Getting the bigger ships would be useless, it would take too many resources to produce them right now but the mining networks would help with that. Also keep pushing in the predators, they don't have a fleet to fight with and they are getting attacked from all sides, the focus should be taking their territory the faster as possible with the least casualties possible, you need all you have and more to fight the pirate fleets.
The Predator Clan will be disintegrated by our lasers!!
I'd like to see some new companies in your narrative. Like Czerka corp or Wayland Yutani. Maybe even Kuat shipyards.
Do you mean Čerka?
Don't remind me of Wayland Yutani, I don't want any Aliens: Colonial Marines memories.
Wayland Yutani go beyond just Colonial Marines. Take the excellent first 2 movies. Also they exist in the Firefly universe (watch the pilot when Mal shoots down the ship at the start) and the Operative in the movie Serenity says that he's "Building better worlds".
And Czerka is one of the biggest companies in Star Wars during the old republic era.
I know they do, but what I'm saying I say that particular game gives me nightmares to this day of fighting boring humans instead of the Xenomorphs.
You can tell by my arrival how much I love this series
i love your intros in the beginning. Your an awesome youtuber that puts passion in your work in entertainment. Keep it up
I just bought stellaris on steam in thinking about running the a galaxy divided mod. Your two seasons have made me want to play this badly! You sir will be my admiral!
awesome video shack those predators didn't see it coming! and congrats on the destroyers its really going to change your fleet and wars!
Great Episode, loving this series so far buddy.
I am SO glad you went for the frontier outpost. You kept missing them in series 1 and I found it hard not to shout at the monitor. ;) As, you know, monitors have feeling too.

Yes, this, all of it. Also "where's my other science ship?" moused over it in civilian list three times "What happened to it?"
So little focus = so many squandered resources.
Was going to say this... It pained me to see the unused resource tiles XD

I Love The Idea Of Stormtroopers Fighting Predators
me too
Now that the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy is up and running I don't foresee anything going wrong.
From the future I’m a long time sub and I’ve been here for years now and I enjoyed his content.
LOVE it. I think that you need to just focus on upgrading your ships and maxing out that ship cap. Victory through overwhelming firepower. It's only a matter of time until the Themlar turn on you and you need to be ready!
An report from a stormtrooper in riblagga "i can't see nothing with these damn helmets"
turn it on! A reprimand will be placed on your Commander for failing to ensure his troopers know how to utilize the equipment. - Lt. McTormic
I love star destroyers, I can't wait till you have those in your fleet with tie fighters
These news segments are the best
yes I love this series please do it more often thank you
The "Rodger Young"? Nice Starship Troopers Reference.
Shack a heads up on power abilities... you may want to build power hubs on planets with more than 3 power stations. That way you get a lot more power later on.
Great campaign so far, can't wait to see what happens next.
Be careful with that massive pirate fleet shack, it's also where the Pirate Leviathan is. Pretty much a Space-Hulk.
Thank you Xpgamer you have made me return to stellaris! :)
The most important thing to remember when fighting them Preds... "If it bleeds, we can kill it!"
"I think there's cloaked prededers in that town"(orbital bombardment) "what town?"
the artillery bow is caalled the broadside cruiser, the design is from empire at war
For the EMPIRE. Let us show them out might.
Once you have the ships designs available then focus on the arms
new shipyard tech leads to first true Star Destroyers, and the one after that i believe you can build interdictors. and that science ship you lost is in orbit of one of you colonies.
you should put a research station above that fungus races planet. it's finally inside your territory
The second ship you looked at was actually the Centurion class Battlecruiser from KOTOR. Old Republic command cruiser I think.
i don't think the predators would be advanced enough to have anything they have in the movies just imagine predators withs assault rifles.
You should burn all of the predator planets to destroy the Xenomorphs on the predator planets
George McGuinness that would be bad mm ky very bad mm ky
and unite all other empires in there fear and hatred of us, better to play nice now and smile with the other xenos and stab them in the back later
yes that is prefect
How about incorporate them into the empire as shock troopers. Like the Romulans did with the Remans.
I actually got the pleasure of using Deflectors. Place them on your Cruisers, and they can decimate every pirate fleet you come across! Don't pass them up! They could be fairly expensive, but damn effective.
This is amazing keep up the amazing work
Shack, Emperor's Landing is negative on power. Add a power hub to it to relieve the strain on the colony.
Shack, as you get the larger capital ships such as cruisers and battleships, you should let subs be captains if the smaller corvettes and destroyers. This would keep you in constant supply of willing recruits.
"We dont have the ground troops to invade." Doesnt even look at the planet he's bombarding to check the ground forces. Attention to detail is nice, you should try it something shack.
Shack! I know I'm not a patron, but please consider these suggestions for destroyers:
"Mad Jack Churchill" - named after a British soldier in WW2 who is famous for charging into battle wielding a sword and playing the bagpipes, escaping a Nazi prison camp, capturing 200 Nazis in one night with only his sword, having the only confirmed kill in the war with a longbow, and generally being a bad**s (Captained by Cpt.

"Leeroy Jenkins" - named after a WoW player who is famous for becoming an Internet star by accident (watch the video) (Captained by Cpt. Richard Garriott, or Lord British if a Sith Lord)
"Ironhide" - named after a game development group famous for making the Kingdom Rush trilogy (Captained by Cpt. Anthony Starke, or Lord Denas if a Sith Lord)
Forgot to add INS (Imperial Navy Starship) to the front of the ship names. Derp.
I think the reason they were so open to the sensor data link was because they were desperate for minerals to expand their fleet...
I just remembered that predators usually settle on worlds with a xenomorph population (if not that some planet with good game for example humans) so all the people who have seen the alien series you know what might be happening to those poor imperials
Mine Emperor, why enslave the foul Xenos? Purge all before humanity's might in Your Name. The galaxy should be ours with righteous fury.
My glorious Emperor,
I must advise you to upgrade our shipyards, we must stay on top of our military research and ensure we are building the best ships we possibly can. We must not let the filthy xenos get ahead of us in this regard.
I also must bring your attention to a high habitability planet to the galactic southeast of our empire. Expanding here would expand our borders without the influence cost of expensive frontier outposts. Which brings me to my final point. We must declare further war when the time is right to gain better influence if your intentions are to keep our frontier outposts running.
I humbly offer this council to you my glorious overlord.

(I mean look at the empire in the movies they could have avoided the rebellion if they focused on a much more peaceful approach)
*Two Guards enter the room from another door and grabs hold of me and drags me away*
Wait..I was kidding..Kill the Xenos!...Ahhh
*Blaster fire could be heard from behind the doors*
Shack after each space battle you need to split up your fleets between the damaged ones and the undamaged ones and send the damaged ones to repair
Our Grand and Glorius Emperor we must push for more ships by researching into advanced starports because it is imperative to strengthen and diversify our fleets. Then and only then may our glorious empire spread it's light through the stars for all of eternity to come.
Hey Shack, you know you can build things like power plants, farms and mines on empty tiles and get a few resources, not as much as ones on tiles with them, but a little extra
as soon as you get the war score required, end the war to minimise losses
"We have had one of our governors die, valiantly testing a new fighter design, yet no means to take the vessels to our enemies! What travesty is this. I propose that the Imperial Engineers begin drafting carrier designs posthaste!"
@TheXPGamers emperor shack please build that survey outpost that you can, it would be interesting to learn from them
We're the cool kids on the block now
Yes my friends the empire will thrive in this Galaxy not even the predators can stop us.
You should build a power hub instead of a power plant on any planet with multiple power plants already
your frigate chassis had a point defence slot, didn't need a destroyer.
shack you should also start building some planet defense armies in case the predator clan makes a come back on one of your planets.
Shack, don't build power stations on every energy credit placement on a planet, build a power hub. A power hub increase the entire planets energy credits that you get, which will help you a lot with your power shortage.
Take the Predator territory, so everyone knows that you're in charge and then add the ship upgrade to get your fleet stronger, so you can start to rule the galexy
You still haven't made a protectorate to those vools!
"Not worth it..." to trade minerals for power when youd get the minerals anyway.
"Where are the ground troops?" Cough reference to empire at war cough
Armco should sponsor the building of an observation post over Syima
I recommend the Arquitens as the jack of all trades ship, with the best armor, shields, and weapons. Use the Broadside as the artillery ship. Right now, use the UV laser, as it's your best weapon currently, and if you decide to get better torpedoes or missiles, you can just switch it out then. The star destroyer shaped one is the Imperial Raider, designed as an anti-fighter ship. I suggest using them as fast, heavily armed and lightly armored fast response ships along the border. Their purpose wouldn't be to defeat the enemy if they arrive in force, but they could buy enough time for your fleet to show up. Also, can the corvettes mount point defense? If so, I recommend outfitting the IG88s as point defense barges, providing the defense for the fleet allowing the other ships to concentrate on killing the enemy.
Your Intelligence agents indicate that taking the Predator Homeworld may lead to problems with the Themlar as we increase our Boards to abut theirs, its to soon to risk open war with the Insectoids.
Plus who knows if the bugs had designs on some of those worlds too
he will just invade it, after the war ends, he will only keep the two first world

Dear good sir, I, Imperial Inquisitor (yes, the shadowy task force you have probably heard of through rumours, yes, we are real), humbly suggest the following ideas:
- We should not rush the Advance Spaceport first. Building better spaceport when having inadequate technology and economy is simply stupid. I prefer researching deep mining network III (also known as "Deep core mining") in order to gain another boost in mineral
- Should the chance arise, I suggest researching on Betharian stone - so far, I saw one deposit on one of our planets
- If the situation allows us, developing nuclear missiles would give us tremendous advantage in both space combat and orbital bombardment
- I suggest developing two to three variants of the destroyer-class, one "artillery" platform (with UV energy, strong shield and hull, medium speed), one "assault platform" (UV or blue lasers, moderate speed and armor)
We in the Intelligence Service have been aware of your efforts on Behalf of the Empire for some time, whilst we in the XIS concentrate on the actions of the other races that surround us for now, we also have agents inplay within the Empire ensuring loyalty to the cause. We have noticed an underdevelopment in energy that may threaten the security of the Empire, and we notice those who do not notice it. We will be watching.
My emperor! We should work on the economy! Going to war like this will put us back!
fighting a war you weren't fully prepared for? noice
I vote for the research of cold fusion reactors, to increase the power available to each ship built, which can then be used for more shields
Notification pop-ups were telling you something
My lord I would like asking to command a destroyer. The Allegiance
i like how his territory is in the shape of a nuclear bomb
As the Xpg empire prepares for war the themlar are getting ready for a assault on the predator homeworld. Armco started setting up mining outposts on the outer rim of the empire. What will happen next time?!
Shack go big or go home! Get the level IV (4) space stations! We're the empire and we must become the most feared empire in the galaxy! Never shall we let other pitiful species stand in our way like the predators did! For honor!
truly a glorious day for the empire as the newly formed Stormtrooper Corps laid waste to the savage Predator clans while the Imperial Navy rained down imperial might on the pathetic predator fleets
Just sitting here listening to Imperial March while watching you wipe the floor in this war.
I need more of this stuff!!!
I say my Emperor, you have begun building a mighty fleet. With some of the best weaponry. But don't be too proud of this technological advance. All technological power Is rendered insignificant, next to the power of The Force.
the Gozanti would hold those Lambda shuttles on the bottom exterior of the shio, much like they do when deploying AT-AT's
Go for the bigger station. Seems more gooder now that you're at war
the pirates are actually the rebels but they're so op
Take everything from the predators ( make sure you let our allies have some)
good good , continue with the different class of ships.
this war is going well , but the empire probably need new legions for continue conquest and control the others predators planet .
the two primitive races need to be survey , same for the
dreadnought .
after this war , we need to control a new enemy in the south .
(two free tasks for a member of the patreon community group )
Can you rename the oceanic planet in the south Rapture ?
and if you find a wasteland planet can you rename it Helghan ? and maybe in the future send to bot of them a colony ship ?
thanks and glory to the empire !
Emperor Shack you should divide the fleet into different strike wings and have them go to each enemy world and blockade it. Also feel free to take some strike wings and have them attack the Husko just to show them who their messing with.
You should expand, colonize planets and construct power plants, and mining stations for minerals. Only constructing mining operations on planets if its more than 1.
Also you should focus more on shields, since all other empires have laser and nuke tech, its a long time before they can use missles that mitigate shields.
Long Live the Empire.
I realize that this is a very late comment, but it would have been a good idea to take the Planetary Unification tech much earlier, both to allow you to bank more influence, but also to gain progress down the planetary administration tech line. As your planets grow more pops, you're eventually going to need to upgrade to planetary capitals, and to an empire capital complex on your homeworld, and you'll need those techs to do it
My lord, I suggest building acclamators and venators once available,they will cover design reasearches of the imperial class for a while
Please play more, i really like this game.
We need the shipyards. better ships to get rid of the pirate problem.
Great, he named the scout fleet Wolf....they're dead.
