Shack. I'm pretty sure you unlocked advanced governments quite a while ago. You have plenty of influence to spare so why not pick up the next government and get some very nice benefits.
Yeah, he can upgrade to the Martial Empire government, which doubles all his current benefits, and also because it's called an empire, it definitely seems fitting.
*Director Docer is in Imperial Intelligence is in a meeting with the Moff Council after his expedition* Moff #1: I suppose you have good news on your recent 'assignment' Yes sir as a matter of fact I have, while at that temple 'be discovered things that I didn't think would be possible these people were able to join us willingly Moff #2: you didn't convince them?

Moff #4: Your saying you want us to give you more resources and abduct Imperial citizens to become a part of a cult that studies dark arts? Listen hear director and you too *pointing to Aidus* Your devotion to that ancient religion is but a waste o- *the Moff stops as he is telekinetically strangled by Aidus.* Aidus: I find your lack of faith disturbing *The Moffs stare in horror at Aidus' power.* Alright that's enough, Aidus release him. Aidus: As you wish *Aidus releases the Moff proceeding him gasp for air.* Any other objections? No? Very well, we'll have the Inquisitors rolling in by next week
Eddie Docer *Director Zabala of the Imperial Security Bureau Contacts the director through hologram.* My dear friend, I have a message for you of the utmost urgency. As you know the Empire is expanding aggressively and the galaxy has taken note of our presence. The Emperor has tasked us with the deed to create a joint organization that we can use to keep up with the Emperors expansion. COMPNOR has agreed to fund the creation of the Imperial Analysis and Monitoring of Galactic Occurrences Division (IAMGOD) I'll give you the details when you're available
Realy? You could at least put your own dialogues, not steal from George Lucas. Also, going around strangling moffs is not how you would make an arrangement. And, finaly, we have Darth Vader(Lord Plusskan, probably slaughtered the spelling).
So the jsutkaan is like a kingdom correct? So the reason they have so many small ships isbecause the Nobels and dukes and stuff all have their ships and try to gain prestige right?does that make sense??
I dont think you get enough credit for the news section at the start of every episode. They are really well done and i could see them being a real thing almost. Fantastic job with the series so far and i hope it continues as is :)
"We dont have any native primitive species" You have *2* in your territoty,and in the nebula in the bottom right there is another one right *NEXT* to your borders,you could have 3,the planet is in the research filled system
Shack I love the fact that you integrate a unique perspective with this playthrough through the news segment I hope you also find a way to integrate it into your other LPs maybe even a full on story about some of the characters as skits throughout the video. keep up the great work
Wow... Very nice intro Shack.. The roleplay aspect of this let's play is honestly the best attraction for me. Props on you for the creative Rebel intro
I enjoy learning through playing. And it's fun to sit on the edge of my seat screaming about clicking the federation button in the bottom right and click on the name in the window to change it for a whole episode when you were wanting to change the federation name.
Hi Captain Shack. Your Stellaris videos are the best. Those intros are so awesome and just makes my day. Just keep playing how you want to and don't lose that enjoyment with the game.
(Suggestions and role playing.) greetings, I am Titan Supremo, representative of the Atlantis sectors, and I officially proclaim this meeting of the Imperial Ruling Council in session.
Off-Roleplay I think it's fine as long as we tell him our thoughts instead of trying to make him play one specific way. After all, he did say to vote in the comments, so he wants our input. Shack, if you do have a problem with this, just make a comment saying so and we'll stop. Roleplay On today's agenda, we have the vassalization issue, the power crisis, the northern war, the northern expansion program, the native interference edict, the pirates, and the fleet composition. I believe a good place to start is the fleet comp.
Titan Supremo "We need more power pylons!, and statue to the original Shack the Uniter, " shouts a little old man in a wheelchair with a nurse keeping his vitals from going out of wack. "I served back under the Militia When The Original Emperor himself, first United all of Terra under his banner and showed us the Stars are Ours! That Humanity can stand United against the long Night that is life among the stars! I Wish that we rededicate a large portion of the focus of the council to look, and hunt down what left of these radical rebels who threaten the unity of the Empire" and with that the old man has a coughing fit and is wheeled out.
We don't have access to torpedoes, but we could fit some of our long ranged ships with missiles. I also think we need some support acclamators and some more carriers. Also, don't forget the emperor's dread is still in the defense fleet, which I don't agree with.
I love this series Shack and thank you for making it because this series and you others allow me to be able to get away from my life and just enjoy a grate video. I loved the intro by the way and I agree with you it`s way more fun to figure out game mechanics on your own.
I agree with you on playing to learn for yourself. Sadly I can't afford this game. But you make it feel like your viewers are there. It feels like I 'm just chilling with a buddy.
This is crazy! And an excellent example of why the imperial mindset isn't _inherently_ evil. Certainly, life as an alien in this empire can result in indentured servitude. But that is not always the case, there are a variety of opportunities for political advancement. And the case for the sovereignty of these predator clan worlds is not helped by the fact that their worlds are so overpopulated and underdeveloped that the populations slowly starve to death! Edit: a few typos
Great series, I too enjoy figure things out. So don't listen to the haters!!! On food, there is an import food mod which I been using and I just love it. Planets with lots of food can now export food via Planet Edict and those that needs it can import it the same way. It greats fleets that will travel from planet to planet automatically. It also adds some much-needed life to the systems. There is a catch, though if war breaks out your enemies can target those fleets. Planet limit is universal for all races, but you could use mods to increase it. Some have an option to pick from 20, 60, 100 or unlimited. You could build outpost between main territory and that disconnected system to connect them together.
Hey shack, I just want to say that you are doing a fantastic job on the games you been doing for RUclips. Because of you, I got turned on for Star Trek Armada and love the game ever since and been wanting to play this game as well. I've never missed a episode with stellaris and want to get this one but with the new horizons mod. Keep up the great work.
Shack if you don't dock your ships, you can see how much energy credits you can lose when they are undocked. Once you know that, you could budget yourself better around that and have an even better economy. Especially with all the new stations you're building in the territory you gained at the end of the episode. Really loving this series, I hope you see this and that it'll help!
Shack, about 2 episodes ago you picked up tie bombers and planned to make carriers holding them. I suggest you do so before ya forget. Also, missile tech leads up to torpedo tech which you can put on your victory class vessels.
is there any way to fix the fleet formation shack cause it kind of defeats the purpose of having small anti missile support craft when all the large craft are just gonna rush in far ahead of the fleet.
Shack great work as always. You should start building stations to defend and start dismantling the corvettes an arquitens. They eat up the same maintenance of an acclamatory with none of the same benefits. Point defense, acclamators can carry them. Firepower, acclamators carry far more firepower. They eat up maintenance when the station maintenance is a little more but has far more firepower
Shack, FYI if your science vessels ever come under attack, I have found that you can pull the scientist off of The Vessel and reassign them to another location before it is destroyed and therefore you will at least it not lose an experienced scientist and they can be given a different ship to Captain.
This is senator Cardinal of the Vol system on New Terria. Some of my colleagues and I think that we can fix the unhappy slave problem the empire has. If the emperor wants to hear the delegation it's only a three-five step plan. The first step is to let the slaves go to school and get degrees and majors. Two is to let them have more rights and the right to vote. Third step is let the salves hold office in the government. The forth and step is end discrimination in the empire. The last step is to maybe OUTLAW slavery.
'10' isn't your max managed colonised planet number, this is just the number you can go up to before you get a penalty. Thus you could link up your territory (by colonising worlds) and join them to your sector. (planets in sectors don’t count to your managed total.
That was beautiful to watch the way the green ticks each popped up one by one during the vassalisation diplomacy. All within the same time frame that Shack was reading each tool tip and exchange. I had a short lived panic attack that he might not notice and close the screen. xD [Edit} @Shack: Oh, and be sure to check for Jungle or Ocean worlds within or near to your territory that you can change to ideal Continental worlds for human colonies. And don't forget about that huge "Hoth" world. Even if it's currently useless to you, it might be worth trying to get within your borders, even if purely to deny your rivals. Large worlds project the widest borders due to their population. Wouldn't want anyone else able to take advantage of that.
welcome back to XPGIN the official news source of the galactic Empire! our top story tonight is looking more into the pirates and the threat they present to the empire, Imperial Intelligence tells us of a horrifying "cyborg" general leading them, up until now they presented little threat to the empire... but now with "General Loslus attempting to unite the pirate groups into a full rebellion against the Empire, demands to do something about them have been heard and with the Predator clans pushed away from our borders we can now focus on this very real threat.
So, the next goal (imo o mighty one), should be to remove the pirates from the fringes of imperial space. Too long have they defied the might of the Emporer...
@captianshack While the fleet is in dry dock you can use that opportunity to upgrade the ships and build more to prepare to engage the pirates to the south.
I agree with you it is nice to see you play this game making reasoned decisions based on the effect you hope and not the result i know will happen. If you would have played already the heck out of this game it would not be this much fun. So if did not do already (only have time to watch the first 30 mins atm), please check out the Sector management screen and make your own opinion. And dont forget that you need something for the A slot in your ships at best something that costs no energy.
Shack did you change your video format youtube won"t allow me to watch or download your new videos or surprisingly older ones I already downloaded but have yet to watch. I was able to download a video from wasted, but the same problem occured when tried to download wasteds version of spaceengineers survival. I was enjoying the X3AP-star wars series. Thankyou
Shack u need ten colony ships and u need to expand early because the ai will take early territory u need to create a powerful economy to sustain you're military operations otherwise this lets play will become incredibly long bloody and drawn out I love ur vids they are the thing I look forward to everyday :)
i watching the growth of my empires and I get a burning passion to destroy anything gets in the way of growth. the challenge of an enemy is what is fun for me
Hey Shack, the reason why some ships charge forward is because they're outfitted with aggressive ship pc's, try using a defensive/bombardment orientation computer to have them stay back and out of direct fire
Would you please finish the Gravitic Sensors already?! They've been 3/4ths finished for a good while now (I think 4 or 5 episode's now), and you'll gain an item to put into the A slot on the ships. Also we need to overhual all of the non-combat ships and stations, i.e our science and construction, and troop transports and the colony ships, please. There are 3 primative races inside our borders. The first is in the Ciaciathea(?) system just north of Beznar, the 2nd in the Syrma system, and the last is in the Kochab system. Also the system just above Beznar has the most recent First League find on the 5th planet I believe.
there is a mod witch lets you import food so i think that would be cool to have like a farming world that you import food to all worlds that focous on other things like power and has few farms. but you will need to test if it works with save files because i'm not to sure
At first I was for the Imperial Alliance, but if we cannot conquer, we should break it. It also made the Themlar border confusing. Actually, let us break it, and reignite it with a civilization that shares our ideals and is willing. That way we keep all the benefits, and more!
You can terraform some of the planets in systems you already have colonies in without adding to your system cap. It'll expand your borders, building slots and the space stations will give you extra fleet cap.
i was like you 600 some game hours ago. there is so much to this game thuogh that i am still learning things even with watching aspec and you and running my own games
I like to believe the Yajuta Confederation was formed by Predators who witnessed the might and skill of the Imperial Yajuta Forces, hunters of the mighty hunters of the Predator Clans
Shack you badly need to get all of the upgrades for power plants, mines, and labs. You should also get "assisting research" which is very good and any science ships that aren't actively doing anything can boost your research. When you have fully upgraded planets' mines, labs, and power plants, that is when you want to place them in a sector in which you don't need to manage them. You want to manage the planets that need development.
it was in these years that Emperor Dredd found a way to expand his power without earning the ire of his allies: Conquest through Liberation. whenever the Empire went to war with another species, they did so under the pretense of liberation. in reality once the planet or planets were liberated, they would be turned to vassals and soon after would be integrated into the Empire peacefully. The method is so effective that it is still used today.
Really enjoying this series guys! Quick question, is there any reason your not using the Star Wars Weapons (turbo lasers, etc.) mod from the same author?
Hey Shack you can also modify the designs of your Utility Ships(Science ships, Construction ships, Colony Ships and Transports) and as such give them shields and long range jump drives
Totally agree with you Shack! When i write a story or paint a picture i don't watch how others do it! That is just copying them. I want to improve my own skills by learning what works and what doesn't. Same goes for games. That way you can react when something happens that wasn't covered in a let's play or in a guide. I get it that people who played the game over and over can get frustrated by choices made that they know don't work. But i assume they learnt it the hard way as well. So why not just enjoy the content and hope that you learn from your mistakes ( or how i like to call them: happy accidents)?
I would leave native restriction unrestricted because it allows you to colonize planets that have a primitive civilization on it. Also it's going to be epic when you get ISDs and Venators, can't wait to hear your reaction when that research finally crosses your path.
Shack, you would be well served by setting your science ships, transport ships and colony ships to auto upgrade. this will make them stronger, faster and require no work on your part. The best kind of work.
okay captain I'm very impressed by your progress you've gotten pretty damn far I like your expansion like you said you hate people that comment Rulli on these things trying not to do your thing love the game play
depends on the model, an executor class has a crew of about 280K, rounded, and that's discounting troop carrying capacity of another 40K. minimum crew, as in skeleton crew, just moving her around and fighting with least amount of efficiency, is 50k. there are larger ones like the Eclipse but as a mass produced class, the Executor has the largest crew, you'd need considerably less than that to operate an Assertor or Allegience class
In response to your energy deficit, you can trade your minerals for energy with the guild which will also increase their willingness to do more business with you. win-win
Shack. I'm pretty sure you unlocked advanced governments quite a while ago. You have plenty of influence to spare so why not pick up the next government and get some very nice benefits.
Yeah, he can upgrade to the Martial Empire government, which doubles all his current benefits, and also because it's called an empire, it definitely seems fitting.
everybody needs to like this so shack can see. It's for the good of the empire!
sounds like you didn't listen to the beginning of the video. let the man do it himself. don't spoil his fun
Good Plan. This indeed needs to be done!
Advice isn't what he was talking about. Shack encourages advice.
If humanity ever gets to travel space, i DEMAND that the Primary combat ship at least look like a stardestroyer.
It wont have gravity doe.
And? its still awesome
I still have this in my watch later from years ago. Talk about good memories.
Keep Native Interference Unrestricted, so you can do passive and active studying without any restrictions.
Max Ravage It would be a really fitting thing to do for the empire, infiltrating their governments lizard-people style :D
you can , in fact, do that. And you can gain control of the planet that way.

My dear friend, I have a message for you of the utmost urgency. As you know the Empire is expanding aggressively and the galaxy has taken note of our presence.
The Emperor has tasked us with the deed to create a joint organization that we can use to keep up with the Emperors expansion.
COMPNOR has agreed to fund the creation of the Imperial Analysis and Monitoring of Galactic Occurrences Division (IAMGOD)
I'll give you the details when you're available
Eddie Docer Congratulations on literally just taking the death star scene with vader in it.
Glad you noticed
Realy? You could at least put your own dialogues, not steal from George Lucas. Also, going around strangling moffs is not how you would make an arrangement. And, finaly, we have Darth Vader(Lord Plusskan, probably slaughtered the spelling).
So the jsutkaan is like a kingdom correct? So the reason they have so many small ships isbecause the Nobels and dukes and stuff all have their ships and try to gain prestige right?does that make sense??
TW Rock That, or they just have a quantity over quality military culture, like the persians.
larson lary That would also be plausible but not as fun I feel
TW Rock It is also possible that they just don't have the research jet.
larson lary That would be kinda pitiful for them to be so big and yet only have small ships? (hidden dick joke in there)
Probably a combination of both
I dont think you get enough credit for the news section at the start of every episode. They are really well done and i could see them being a real thing almost. Fantastic job with the series so far and i hope it continues as is :)
This is definitely one of the best things that happens on a Friday; come home from work and a Stellaris episode is just out.
"We dont have any native primitive species"
You have *2* in your territoty,and in the nebula in the bottom right there is another one right *NEXT* to your borders,you could have 3,the planet is in the research filled system
I love the intro's for this series! So well done.
Shack you're killing me here dude! We need episode 15 ASAP.
Hope nothing happens to the newsman.
only you could make the Empire be the good guys
TopgunProductions Wouldn't it just be republic but with ISDs?
The Empire has always been the good guys.

"Without victory, there can be no survival!"
Viscious202 "and with no people, there can be no civilization"
And then no Order there can be no Empire
Oh man that intro got a standing ovation from me, well done
Wow... Very nice intro Shack.. The roleplay aspect of this let's play is honestly the best attraction for me. Props on you for the creative Rebel intro
Excellent Series, very interesting and pretty well done.
Thanks for the effort that must have gone into the newscasts.
Cheers!!
i loved that intro giving story to the rebellion , id love to see other interruptions like that or channel surfing , great job
Hey, since a new update is coming out soon, maybe you should do 2 episodes a week?
Yes, I would love that!
Hal Effect yes!!!!
Definitely! This is the main story i follow on youtube currently. We need more episodes
Hell yes.
You know that making these is not magic? He can not spawn them from nothing immediately, he has to actually make them.
I enjoy learning through playing. And it's fun to sit on the edge of my seat screaming about clicking the federation button in the bottom right and click on the name in the window to change it for a whole episode when you were wanting to change the federation name.
I'm like you when it come to plating games. it's about the journey. knowing everything makes it less fun. #StandWithTheEmpire
Valmar Necroa #empire for the win
Same here!
Hi Captain Shack. Your Stellaris videos are the best. Those intros are so awesome and just makes my day. Just keep playing how you want to and don't lose that enjoyment with the game.
I look forward to this every day Shack. As a personal favour, do ya need anyone murderized? I'll give ya a discount.
Nah, but can I have a chimichanga?
I liked the news broadcast today CaptainShack

There are two primitive species in his territory
he said there were not
he should build observation posts on their planets
Ryan Katz yeah
Does he ever do it, im on this episode and it would pain me if he didnt by episode 20.
Don't forget about the orbital farms! That will help with the starvation and free up tiles on the surface of your planets.

"Peter McBeardy," is that a reference to TAPE Gaming and Beardy Penguin?
There is a mod to import food, I don't know if it's save game compatible but that may be something to keep in mind for future games!

I agree with you it is nice to see you play this game making reasoned decisions based on the effect you hope and not the result i know will happen. If you would have played already the heck out of this game it would not be this much fun. So if did not do already (only have time to watch the first 30 mins atm), please check out the Sector management screen and make your own opinion. And dont forget that you need something for the A slot in your ships at best something that costs no energy.
What you were looking at said "Ask them to be their Vassal" Thats not what you want captain :D
Shack did you change your video format youtube won"t allow me to watch or download your new videos or surprisingly older ones I already downloaded but have yet to watch. I was able to download a video from wasted, but the same problem occured when tried to download wasteds version of spaceengineers survival. I was enjoying the X3AP-star wars series. Thankyou
I agree captain, its much more enjoyable to find out the games mechanics instead of being told them
Shack u need ten colony ships and u need to expand early because the ai will take early territory u need to create a powerful economy to sustain you're military operations otherwise this lets play will become incredibly long bloody and drawn out I love ur vids they are the thing I look forward to everyday :)
Shack rmember, get those X-ray lasers installed on all your ships
i watching the growth of my empires and I get a burning passion to destroy anything gets in the way of growth. the challenge of an enemy is what is fun for me
The captains have their brains built into their ships making them live as long as the ship lives
Hey Shack, the reason why some ships charge forward is because they're outfitted with aggressive ship pc's, try using a defensive/bombardment orientation computer to have them stay back and out of direct fire
Would you please finish the Gravitic Sensors already?! They've been 3/4ths finished for a good while now (I think 4 or 5 episode's now), and you'll gain an item to put into the A slot on the ships.
Also we need to overhual all of the non-combat ships and stations, i.e our science and construction, and troop transports and the colony ships, please.
There are 3 primative races inside our borders. The first is in the Ciaciathea(?) system just north of Beznar, the 2nd in the Syrma system, and the last is in the Kochab system. Also the system just above Beznar has the most recent First League find on the 5th planet I believe.
(Suggestion)
Sector up the two planets in the SE so you can colonise in the NW, you can add the other southern planets when the borders join.
Shack, upgrade your UV Lasers to X-Ray Lasers and commence working on getting those torpedoes.
Ive spent many hours following the mighty Empire, while I lead my own in an alternate universe.
Best intro yet, keep it up!
there is a mod witch lets you import food so i think that would be cool to have like a farming world that you import food to all worlds that focous on other things like power and has few farms. but you will need to test if it works with save files because i'm not to sure
At first I was for the Imperial Alliance, but if we cannot conquer, we should break it.
It also made the Themlar border confusing.
Actually, let us break it, and reignite it with a civilization that shares our ideals and is willing.
That way we keep all the benefits, and more!
You can terraform some of the planets in systems you already have colonies in without adding to your system cap. It'll expand your borders, building slots and the space stations will give you extra fleet cap.
Wow that intro was pretty good
i was like you 600 some game hours ago. there is so much to this game thuogh that i am still learning things even with watching aspec and you and running my own games
I like to believe the Yajuta Confederation was formed by Predators who witnessed the might and skill of the Imperial Yajuta Forces, hunters of the mighty hunters of the Predator Clans
Shack you badly need to get all of the upgrades for power plants, mines, and labs.
You should also get "assisting research" which is very good and any science ships that aren't actively doing anything can boost your research.
When you have fully upgraded planets' mines, labs, and power plants, that is when you want to place them in a sector in which you don't need to manage them. You want to manage the planets that need development.
Also get all of the tile blockers taken care of.
that intro was the best thing ive ever seen
it was in these years that Emperor Dredd found a way to expand his power without earning the ire of his allies: Conquest through Liberation. whenever the Empire went to war with another species, they did so under the pretense of liberation. in reality once the planet or planets were liberated, they would be turned to vassals and soon after would be integrated into the Empire peacefully. The method is so effective that it is still used today.
Really enjoying this series guys! Quick question, is there any reason your not using the Star Wars Weapons (turbo lasers, etc.) mod from the same author?
it would be amazing to take your News castings into a playlist of videos...would be awesome :D
When you colonize a planet with Titanic life, and invading planets suddenly becomes easy...
Love your news intro's CaptainShack
Isn't thre a primitive species in the nebula to the right of new terra?
Hey Shack you can also modify the designs of your Utility Ships(Science ships, Construction ships, Colony Ships and Transports) and as such give them shields and long range jump drives
That would probably increase their life expectancy :D
Totally agree with you Shack! When i write a story or paint a picture i don't watch how others do it! That is just copying them. I want to improve my own skills by learning what works and what doesn't. Same goes for games. That way you can react when something happens that wasn't covered in a let's play or in a guide. I get it that people who played the game over and over can get frustrated by choices made that they know don't work. But i assume they learnt it the hard way as well. So why not just enjoy the content and hope that you learn from your mistakes ( or how i like to call them: happy accidents)?
Terraforming populated planets inflicts a -1000 happiness debuf on its citizens
I would leave native restriction unrestricted because it allows you to colonize planets that have a primitive civilization on it. Also it's going to be epic when you get ISDs and Venators, can't wait to hear your reaction when that research finally crosses your path.
Shack, you would be well served by setting your science ships, transport ships and colony ships to auto upgrade. this will make them stronger, faster and require no work on your part. The best kind of work.
i get you shack.. learn has you go! keep up and thank you
I understand what you mean. I like to just wing it, but when basic advise is given I will listen to a point.
NEW DRINKING GAME!!!! Every time Shack says "Launch all fighters and prepare for combat throughout the series...take a shot!!!!!!
I think in one of the earlier videos he had a pre space civilization in his boarders
okay captain I'm very impressed by your progress you've gotten pretty damn far I like your expansion like you said you hate people that comment Rulli on these things trying not to do your thing love the game play
can you get an ssd
Justin A I think he can get a Bellator dreadnought, which is a basically a 5km long ISD
cool enough mod
hm...how many droids would it take to man a SSD?
too damn many
depends on the model, an executor class has a crew of about 280K, rounded, and that's discounting troop carrying capacity of another 40K. minimum crew, as in skeleton crew, just moving her around and fighting with least amount of efficiency, is 50k.
there are larger ones like the Eclipse but as a mass produced class, the Executor has the largest crew, you'd need considerably less than that to operate an Assertor or Allegience class
In response to your energy deficit, you can trade your minerals for energy with the guild which will also increase their willingness to do more business with you. win-win
defense station could be the defense fleet command center and then you could put that in a xpgin report in intro
