Yeah seriously shack you need to spend some influence to get that shit under control last thing you need is them revolting on your already delicate border with the confederacy.
Personal Log #1: Never have i thought that the resistance from the Jehet would be so great. Granted they have been brought under the fold of the alliance by force, but they should understand that we are saviors, coming to them with new freedoms and opportunities. The Lady Protector just recently allowed all citizens, whether human or xeno, can vote. And they have opportunities to better their community through service, service guarantees citizenship. I hope this may throw water on the flames. Personal Log #2: The Jehet are becoming more and more unstable. The Partisans recently lead a string of attacks across the sector. I fear rebellion is inevitable and i sent word to the Lady Protector for more forces to be stationed on the Jehet worlds. Now, i must sit and wait for the coming storm. I pray for the Jehet, i hope they see reason and avoid the military's retaliation.
Brian Griffin I have done what i could, the Jehet do not want to listen to "the Oppressors" as i have heard them refer to me and the 190th on Jehet Prime.
Having to scan everything becomes a pain after a while so whenever I make contact I trade up the species starcharts for something they need be it some minerals or credits. Makes it so you know a whole lot more about their sector of the galaxy and prevents that painful scan of their systems once you conquer them.
Citizen "Scotty" reporting: Leadership is locked until you research the proper tech, sir. Also, we will still have to scan the planets we have conquered from the Dominion, as it appears they have destroyed or otherwise have made unavailable their native records in order to slow our progress. Leaving us with incomplete records of these systems. (Basically, no, you do not get planet data by conquering planets for whatever reason.)
Actually I would recommend the unofficial Asimov hotfix to any game even if you want vanilla simply to fix the game until the team finishes the next patch.
Jehetma: We have demands to be fulfilled if you expect us to accept your empire as our own. Human: Alright. What do you want? Jehetma: We want equal rights/ Human: Sure. Full voting and residential rights within the Alliance. Anything else? Jehetma: We want to outlaw mushrooms on pizza. Human: Listen here, you little shits!
better yet assuming he has put anything from Halo or Mass Effect into this he could use scenes from the invsion of earth in those aswell but the mass effect one will only work if its giant japanese porn.....I mean robo squids
Colonize Alhborne, it's a frontier system and you might be able to remove the frontier outpost nearby without losing much territory. 32:00 **presses F to pay respects** o7
I know this is an old video, but I'm new to the series. Just commenting to say I thoroughly enjoy the intro and the heavy amount of roleplay that's going on. Also, it's amusing me that he's left the 'Encourage Free Thought' policy active for so long. Wonder when he'll notice the massive amounts of ethos shifts that's causing. Good stuff! :D
shack you need to research the crystalline entity's in the situation log as it unlocks crystal sonar. crystal sonar allows the instant survey of a system with crystalline entity's in it! (any ship can do this not just science ships)
1.) you still get the anomalies (at least in my experience) 2.) it means you don't have to clear out a system of powerful enemies to see what resources are their 3.) there are plenty of other systems to scan to build up your scientist's skill level
Hey shack I want to say thanks for being so dedicated to us and preparing so much and putting a lot of work into each episode and series the xpgamers are awesome and you got me through some rough times. Thank you shack 👍🏼
Man I I accidentally stumbled to your channel and I gotta say I love this series I've watched since the beginning and... WOW XPG Allience has Grown so Great!!!!! Wish I I could be a captain or general in that fleet!!
It's a heavy expenditure, but worth it and necessary. Suppress media, bribe leaders, and use the integration campaigns. If you expand too fast and ignore your existing conquests, you'll have that rebellion and maybe even a civil war which might be more expensive than just making the weird 'shroom people love you.
yes it is. the best way is also to use the edicts that reduce the ethics differents so that other empire pops will have more happiness and are less likely to rebel ^^
I'd normally say suffer not the xenos to live and all that jazz but with all these alien empires around, it's just asking for a free barbecue at Terra"s with extra spicy sauce.
In order to defeat the other races, the Alliance will need unity, having riots and unpopular leadership will not work when you try to go on the offensive. Spend some time to lick your wounds and deal with domestic issues whilst repairing the outlook other factions have on you. That way, further down the line you can catch them by surprise with an incredibly strong fleet.
There seem to be a couple of hostile fleets near the border of the alliance; they are located on the Ashimax System and the Asterope System. I suggest taking them out
you have your first contact policy set to "aggressive" - you can change them on the same screen as you did for the free votes thing if you want to seem more friendly i suppose
personally I would start building defense platforms on the edges of your space. as it stands right now you need to start upgrading your fleet once more.
to see if the stars are inside your system look at thoose lines that leads away from it and there should be a pentagon circle thing that shows where the star actually is
I think you should have gone for a liberation war first and then either vasalise and integrate them peacefully or if they refuse to become vassals fight a second war to annex them. That makes sure your ethics are more integrated in the conquered population already. Although it makes most sence when your Ethos combination actually helps with integration (that is why Spirituals are likley the best warmogers). Whether you go for conquest or the diplomatic way with an Alliances and a Federation or conquest liberation wars make everything easier in Stellaris. For Leadership you need a certain tech to allow Xenos Leadership position. But be aware that the primary species won't like you allowing foreigners to vote unless they are xenophil (-5% happyness for Xenophobes even more).
I believe you can only change Leadership policy, but it can only be changed if you get the research for it. Going to warn you now Shack, Evangelizing Zealots have a -100 relations to EVERYONE (except other Evangelizing Zealots it seems) as a default that never goes away, and they also seem to be stronger than normal empires. For Assisted research, the states shown are the base amount given, however the higher level the scientist in the ship is the more research bonus you give to that world. For special projects, the situation log will tell you how long it will take. It shows this in the bottom right of the log.
i suggest that when you need to research the point defense to put them on the corvettes and have them as escorts. i believe that the size of the ship or mount dose not hold any difference in how they work.
Shack on the situation log you can research all that stuff at the same time you don't have to choose between them excluding the ones that require a science ship in orbit
when i started my campaign, i had barely found any other intelligent life until late game, and soon after i found other factions, i found 2 primitives right next to me.
Set up embassies with the neighboring Empires! That should help with diplomatic relations. And see if we can set up some non-aggression pacts with the Saathid?
I'd focus on quelling any rebellion, and then start exploring east. I'd also through a few defensive stations down on the western boarder but not too many.
Hey bud, love your videos. Just so you know, the Star Trek mod for Stellaris is in Alpha and available on Steam. Phasers and Photons, starting up the Federation...good luck with that. My first play through had the Andorians creating 'The Righteous Pact'. I brought the Vulcans, and Tellarites into the Pact...and for a decade pushed for a Federation Formation. Shortly after bringing in the Bolorians the Andorians (sole species voting no for the Federation) voted to form a federation...and named it the Galactic Alliance. So that's how my game is going...
Recovery and expanding are vital right now since you just conquered another species and need to bring them to a state of contentment living in your borders. A defense perimeter can come later if tensions between the two nations whom you are sharing a border with starts to boil over. Plus having just used your military might to conquer the dominion other races might take you putting up defense stations as preparation for another invasion since that's exactly what you did to the dominion a few days before beginning an all out assault. So to me recovery is in our best interests to stabilize your empire and let other empires lessen their worries about you invading them too. Though this is just my opinion and if you or anyone else disagrees that's completely understandable.😉😉😉 Anyway keep doing what you do Shack cause your content is awesome!😃
Yes, rather than bare our teeth, I think the best course of action is to foster alliances with the Foundation and Council. Rather than build up the military, again we focus on stability and prosperity. Using the Foundation as a buffer zone against the clearly hostile Directorate spares us resources and gives us an advantage in the inevitable war.
Naming the star system and the planet in honor of Captain Alborne is above and beyond what I expected. Good job.And does anyone see a resemblance to the Krogan in the insignia of the Birnathi Council?
Hey Captain Shack, I was wondering if you knew that there is Mod for Stellaris where you can add Mobile Infantry from Starship Trooper as some of your armies, along with Colonial Marines from Aliens.
That research bonus on the new scientist only applies to his field speciality. He field is in computing, the techs for which are only found in the Physics department. Currently your head of Physics has the Industrial specialisation, which boosts research rates on and increases the likelihood of power generation techs (for both ships and buildings). Switching them for the Computing specialist would boost the chance of advanced combat AI for ships coming up, and upgrades for physics labs. If the Industrial specialist was moved to Engineering it would increase the likely hood of robotics technology coming up in the pool, as well as upgrades for mineral production and engineering labs. The specialisations have far more effect on the course your empire takes than people realise.
Open further diplomatic relations with the Foundation and the Nharr Council! We need friends right now and a buffer against the Directorate, they are going to be trouble. If we are going to have another war in the near future, its going to be with them, and it will do to have some allies. So, how about a military alliance with the Foundation against the Cardassians?
Where you changed Voting rights to all pop, at the very bottom of that list was First Contact Protocol, which you have set to aggressive. That is why your three answers in first contact are always rather harsh. it should change if you change that setting
lol Shack ;D Magnus the Red was a Primarch in 40k and his Homeworld was Prospero. Of all the Primarchs Magnus craved knowledge the most! SOOOO your first science ship and captain are a warhammer 40k regerence. ;D thats amazing
You know, there are a couple systems in your original territory that you haven't surveyed and I'm pretty sure there's one or two that you stopped in the middle of surveying.
The planet you where going to colonize was Vega cause it has three volcano's you can remove and setup power plants. Now what I'm going to suggest is really going to be push the Alliance's luck. Find three planets beyond Reach and make a second sector to guard that flank. plus a frontier base or two over in the direction of the Cardassians to keep them away from Earth.
This is Chief weapons officer Richard Arc of the Destroyer WhisperWind, following the death of the Admiral there was a fleet wide salute of 21 shells fired from the destroyers in the fleet in memory of the great man that had passed on. What ruined it for me and the other gunners aboard the capital ships was we had to make sure that all the weapons were synced meaning we couldn't watch. Dam it! Signing off
You can use Shift and click on the reseach project so it'll stack commands for your reseach ships, Cap'n! That way you can stack up system scan commands and then swing back for projects after! Although it's very annoying if the science ship runs into an enemy vessle, cos it overwrites it's commands and flees without remebreing where else it was meant to go x.x
2240.09.20 1821 Hours Sol 1-Earth Log #1 Dante Seran Alright, they're letting us make logs and call one person, so I'll try to make this brief. I just graduated from high school when the war had ended. I wanted to join during my Junior year when I was 17, but my mother said that she didn't want to lose me like she lost father earlier in the war. He was a brave man, and I only wanted to follow in his footsteps. Thankfully, after I turned 18 and graduated, I signed myself up at the nearest Naval Recruitment Station. After having family and friends interviewed and questioned for days on end by the Recruit Evaluation Asset Regiment, I finally kissed my girlfriend goodbye and hugged my mother, I promised her that I'd make it through boot and return home when I got the chance to see her again. After such a tearful goodbye, I hopped onto the XP-661 shuttle and went to sleep, the flight to Fort Shack would take 8 hours, being in what was previously known as a "Germany". I was woken up the the crewmembers aboard the shuttle, me alongside the 61 other recruits would be arriving in only 10 "mikes"...whatever that meant. What felt like years were only minutes as we soon landed at a pad numbered 7, and the Senior Drill Instructor came aboard. After only a few seconds, he shouted out "YOU PUSSIFIED BAGS OF DICKS BETTER GET OFF THIS SHUTTLE AND GRAB YOUR SHIT AT THE SPEED OF MACH JESUS!". We quickly scrambled, I myself was slightly scared at how fierce the SDI seemed, he had a scar on his face from what looked like a fire, and I could see that he was an experienced solider. We only had 3 minutes to get our stuff and stand on a series of red footprints, our feet angled at 45°. I was holding my large pack in my arms, and a male behind me was holding a suitcase of all things...I felt sorry for him. A DI tore his ass up and threw his suitcase into the distance, his Exosuit powering his throw. "Stand at attention!", came the cry of a DI, and we all followed suit. "From now on, you are ALL equally worthless. Once you walk through THOSE doors, you will ALL treat everyone with the respect they deserve, and will NEVER be disrespectful to either a fellow RECRUIT, SOLDIER, OR CIVILIAN! MY NAME, is Praetorian Jackson Dodge, and I WILL, be your Senior DRILL INSTRUCTOR! Myself along side DECURION Harper Wilder and UHLAN Lepnotite Raz'Ik will ensure that MOST, IF NOT ALL recruits pass Bootcamp. If you DO FAIL TO COMPLY, with our rules, you WILL fail, for it is the CREED and HONOR of being a System Alliance NavaliQuod, that makes us ALL worthy of SERVING, AND FIGHTING FOR OUR PEOPLE! EVERYONE GET ON YOUR KNEES, AND LAY YOUR BAGS IN FRONT OF YOU!" As I fell to my knees and basically threw the pack down in front of me, I grinned mentally as I knew that if my father had gone through this, I could as well...I would do my nation, my parents, and my alliance proud!
you cant set it to allow leaders from all species because of the settings you selected when making the empire. and I dont think that can be changed mid game. you would have to redo everything
Build a a defensive line mixing every available weapon type at your disposal. Wait for the torpedoes as well. Each and every system should have a jump trapped station on their border. If they declare war, double up the stations for problem systems while the fleet builds.
'Expand and conquer all!!! Bring them into the divine righteousness of our way of life and If they rebel, annihilate them.' Senator H Lupercal, Holy Terra Movement.
Xp 20:15 its not 10% research speed flat out, its 10% research speed in quantum computing techs, for example the icon to the right of the torpedo research is rocketeering
id say focus on the exploration. although with the exploration we've already done the ability to defend ourselves would be greatly appreciated. (A.K.A up the fleet or get space stations. maybe get a 2nd fleet on the go. The territory size mixed with hyperspace lanes means if we're attacked whilst the fleet is in the unexplored regions to the east, it'd be hard pressed to reach earth and we would likely loss a few to many stations in the new sector. plus the empires that a pissed seem to be superior in one form or another.
Plus you should have read the description and damage of space torpedoes the torpedoes are almost the same as missiles but slightly stronger and actually slower...
I have been watching but I don't know if you have open back up names I would like to be put into game but I don't really know if you have open names back up yet
Trust me corvettes extremely useful in game especially when AI stack a lot against your battleship just due to them being able to have more weapons putting fire on and the in game ship AI only being able to target 1 ship at a time.
Honestly Shack may want to try changing his First Contact Policy from aggressive to something else. Also, if he's worried about wars starting, he should just sign some non-aggression packs. Even if the other race breaks them, at least he get's something of a heads up before they declare war.
You know, for having a rebel faction about ready to launch a revolution, managing them doesn't seem to be that high on your priority list.
+Panda Cook ?
I think he means click bait for Shack's next video, "REVOLUTION IN SYSTEMS ALLIANCE" or something?
Not sure how that's a bad thing though.
Yeah seriously shack you need to spend some influence to get that shit under control last thing you need is them revolting on your already delicate border with the confederacy.
+Sweet Spirit a civil war can severely damage your economy and cause many losses to your military
immortal warrior But it is good for the viewership of RUclips! That's exactly what I meant. That could be what Panda Cook meant by 'click bait'
Personal Log #1:
Never have i thought that the resistance from the Jehet would be so great. Granted they have been brought under the fold of the alliance by force, but they should understand that we are saviors, coming to them with new freedoms and opportunities. The Lady Protector just recently allowed all citizens, whether human or xeno, can vote. And they have opportunities to better their community through service, service guarantees citizenship. I hope this may throw water on the flames.
Personal Log #2:
The Jehet are becoming more and more unstable. The Partisans recently lead a string of attacks across the sector. I fear rebellion is inevitable and i sent word to the Lady Protector for more forces to be stationed on the Jehet worlds. Now, i must sit and wait for the coming storm. I pray for the Jehet, i hope they see reason and avoid the military's retaliation.
I love these little bits of lore people insert into the narrative!
Punitive actions must be taken if they do.
Brian Griffin I have done what i could, the Jehet do not want to listen to "the Oppressors" as i have heard them refer to me and the 190th on Jehet Prime.
"Admiral Stieglemen was a great commander of our main fleet. He shall always be remembered. R.I.P. Admiral Stieglemen." -Beamer490
Admiral Stiegelman will be remembered in the data logs of the XPG System Alliance. May his name live on forever.
Having to scan everything becomes a pain after a while so whenever I make contact I trade up the species starcharts for something they need be it some minerals or credits. Makes it so you know a whole lot more about their sector of the galaxy and prevents that painful scan of their systems once you conquer them.

Leaving us with incomplete records of these systems.
(Basically, no, you do not get planet data by conquering planets for whatever reason.)
+Jano Berumen I believe it's called Xenos Leadership or some thing similar
Jano Berumen I think you get better chances of getting it if you've done other diplomacy techs like the Federation one.
Sadly since the last patch as of this time the xeno leadership tech is broken and a mod currently makes it possible to research again.
Actually I would recommend the unofficial Asimov hotfix to any game even if you want vanilla simply to fix the game until the team finishes the next patch.
+Indijones 517 yep, xeno leadership is definitely broken
Jehetma: We have demands to be fulfilled if you expect us to accept your empire as our own.
Human: Alright. What do you want?
Jehetma: We want equal rights/
Human: Sure. Full voting and residential rights within the Alliance. Anything else?
Jehetma: We want to outlaw mushrooms on pizza.
Human: Listen here, you little shits!
Hey Shack, if Earth ever gets invaded you should use scenes from Independence Day to represent the resistance against the invaders.
The AI is very stupid even on the highest diffulty when it comes to invading
better yet assuming he has put anything from Halo or Mass Effect into this he could use scenes from the invsion of earth in those aswell but the mass effect one will only work if its giant japanese porn.....I mean robo squids
Colonize Alhborne, it's a frontier system and you might be able to remove the frontier outpost nearby without losing much territory.
32:00 **presses F to pay respects** o7
Lol
I know this is an old video, but I'm new to the series.
Just commenting to say I thoroughly enjoy the intro and the heavy amount of roleplay that's going on. Also, it's amusing me that he's left the 'Encourage Free Thought' policy active for so long. Wonder when he'll notice the massive amounts of ethos shifts that's causing.
Good stuff! :D
11:40 Please have the imperium of man as your xenophobic fallen empire. That would be just great.
Nah, gotta name them the Necrontyr or something. Or Tau...I'm always up for burning the Tau...
The taut rule the 40k universe, they took one of the imperious most heavily defended forge worlds.
+paul josephs The tau rule the universe? Tau cannot into the warp.
+paul josephs The Emperor has yet to turn his gaze to the Tau. Once He does, these upstarts will know what true war is...lol
But will the Imperium have enough to spare on the Tau to finish them off or just slap them around a bit?
I just love the influence that star ship troopers is giving this series.
Do you want to know more?
I love how you connect Stellaris and Space Engineers like with the escape pods in the beginning of the video, great work as usual.
"The port deflected are gone!" "Sir, enemy bombers approaching!"
-GAR Defiance crew
I have an idea. Why not just flip a coin when a ship is destroyed? If it's heads, the captain survives. If it's tails, the captain dies.
5 yr mission to seek out new lif and civilazations.... and he asks who should be the captain...
THERE IS ONLY ONE NAME cpt. James T. Kirk ofcoarse!!!!
shack you need to research the crystalline entity's in the situation log as it unlocks crystal sonar.
crystal sonar allows the instant survey of a system with crystalline entity's in it! (any ship can do this not just science ships)
Lol
yeah but why would you do it
this eats up potential exp for scientists and anomalies
you don t want to use instant survey at all
1.) you still get the anomalies (at least in my experience)
2.) it means you don't have to clear out a system of powerful enemies to see what resources are their
3.) there are plenty of other systems to scan to build up your scientist's skill level
Red Nano
2) powerful
absolute kek
my lances seem to disagree with your assessment of powerful
shack doesn't know what you mean by 'lances' yet so it is accurate to call them powerful
At approximately 40:00 you can hear: "Meowww!" Lol
Hey shack I want to say thanks for being so dedicated to us and preparing so much and putting a lot of work into each episode and series the xpgamers are awesome and you got me through some rough times. Thank you shack 👍🏼
Yeeeeeeeessss! After I found this series, I've been really enjoying this. Keep it up! Look forward to more!
Man I I accidentally stumbled to your channel and I gotta say I love this series I've watched since the beginning and... WOW XPG Allience has Grown so Great!!!!! Wish I I could be a captain or general in that fleet!!
*Was watching other video*
*sees new Stellaris video*
Forget this one Stellaris!!!
hehe, did the same thing. This is a great Stellaris series, I love the reference to Starship Troopers as well.
manage the faction spend credits and influence to calm them down so you have more time to make them like you
It's a heavy expenditure, but worth it and necessary. Suppress media, bribe leaders, and use the integration campaigns. If you expand too fast and ignore your existing conquests, you'll have that rebellion and maybe even a civil war which might be more expensive than just making the weird 'shroom people love you.
yes it is. the best way is also to use the edicts that reduce the ethics differents so that other empire pops will have more happiness and are less likely to rebel ^^
+r hol I agree
I'd normally say suffer not the xenos to live and all that jazz but with all these alien empires around, it's just asking for a free barbecue at Terra"s with extra spicy sauce.
+The Mighty .Chicken with fresh human meat, wait what?!?
Hey shack, you could change your first contact policy to non-aggressive, that might change your options...
I love how the Wolf Strike Group is now a huge martyr for the alliance.
In order to defeat the other races, the Alliance will need unity, having riots and unpopular leadership will not work when you try to go on the offensive. Spend some time to lick your wounds and deal with domestic issues whilst repairing the outlook other factions have on you. That way, further down the line you can catch them by surprise with an incredibly strong fleet.
You need to have allies as well. A great quote from South Africa is " If you want to go fast go alone, but if you want to go far go together."
+Drew the Engineer I agree more allies could later help the alliance in taking over large military races.
We salute you Admiral. your service to the XPG System Alliance will not be forgotten!
There seem to be a couple of hostile fleets near the border of the alliance; they are located on the Ashimax System and the Asterope System. I suggest taking them out
You need research to make aliens leaders.
you have your first contact policy set to "aggressive" - you can change them on the same screen as you did for the free votes thing if you want to seem more friendly i suppose
also why don't you use the manage factions tab man, you have so much influence!
11:20
"We just made contact with the Kardashians"
...felt that burn from here, damn.
Xeno Leadership is a society research, that is why you couldn't switch the Leadership option.
personally I would start building defense platforms on the edges of your space. as it stands right now you need to start upgrading your fleet once more.
you can change your first contact protocol to passive in the same screen where you changed it to free vote
that intro keeps on getting better and better
Every episode of this is like gaming with a friend.
to see if the stars are inside your system look at thoose lines that leads away from it and there should be a pentagon circle thing that shows where the star actually is
I think you should have gone for a liberation war first and then either vasalise and integrate them peacefully or if they refuse to become vassals fight a second war to annex them.

For Leadership you need a certain tech to allow Xenos Leadership position. But be aware that the primary species won't like you allowing foreigners to vote unless they are xenophil (-5% happyness for Xenophobes even more).
Should have a funeral for Admiral Steiglman in the next intro? Maybe use the funeral of Omar Anoke from Starship Troopers 3 as the newsfeed of it?
There is a tech called zeno leaders that you need to get in order to allow other races to become leaders
I am curious what the "manage factions" button does. The one he never clicks when contemplating how to deal with the faction.
you can change the first contact protocols in the policies menu to a less aggressive one :)
I love your work xp and thank you for what you do!
I believe you can only change Leadership policy, but it can only be changed if you get the research for it. Going to warn you now Shack, Evangelizing Zealots have a -100 relations to EVERYONE (except other Evangelizing Zealots it seems) as a default that never goes away, and they also seem to be stronger than normal empires.
For Assisted research, the states shown are the base amount given, however the higher level the scientist in the ship is the more research bonus you give to that world. For special projects, the situation log will tell you how long it will take. It shows this in the bottom right of the log.
Wait did anyone else hear that cat at 20:36?
i suggest that when you need to research the point defense to put them on the corvettes and have them as escorts. i believe that the size of the ship or mount dose not hold any difference in how they work.
Shack on the situation log you can research all that stuff at the same time you don't have to choose between them excluding the ones that require a science ship in orbit
I would kinda go with some defensive stations on your boarder while expanding east if that is an option?
I really like that when i read this chat i notice that is very different from any other chat, The RolePlay that we all do here is awesome. ^^
when i started my campaign, i had barely found any other intelligent life until late game, and soon after i found other factions, i found 2 primitives right next to me.
shack the ability to change leadership rights is researched.
SPACE LIGHTING this is like the third time I've done this it's just a tradition now
You can right-click a tile to go directly to the upgrade/build page so you don't need to left-click the tile and then click the upgrade button...
No one wants war but there always will be so try to make peace but always be prepared as Roosevelt once said " Speak softly but carry a big stick."
Set up embassies with the neighboring Empires! That should help with diplomatic relations. And see if we can set up some non-aggression pacts with the Saathid?
I'd focus on quelling any rebellion, and then start exploring east. I'd also through a few defensive stations down on the western boarder but not too many.

If you are upgrading buildings on a planet you can press the yellow triangle in the corner to skip to the upgrade screen
Hey Captain Shack, I was wondering if you knew that there is Mod for Stellaris where you can add Mobile Infantry from Starship Trooper as some of your armies, along with Colonial Marines from Aliens.
That research bonus on the new scientist only applies to his field speciality. He field is in computing, the techs for which are only found in the Physics department. Currently your head of Physics has the Industrial specialisation, which boosts research rates on and increases the likelihood of power generation techs (for both ships and buildings). Switching them for the Computing specialist would boost the chance of advanced combat AI for ships coming up, and upgrades for physics labs. If the Industrial specialist was moved to Engineering it would increase the likely hood of robotics technology coming up in the pool, as well as upgrades for mineral production and engineering labs.
The specialisations have far more effect on the course your empire takes than people realise.
Shack just totally jinxed the Prospero. It's crew is going to get torn asunder by a random encounter with Genestealers.
Open further diplomatic relations with the Foundation and the Nharr Council! We need friends right now and a buffer against the Directorate, they are going to be trouble. If we are going to have another war in the near future, its going to be with them, and it will do to have some allies. So, how about a military alliance with the Foundation against the Cardassians?
Where you changed Voting rights to all pop, at the very bottom of that list was First Contact Protocol, which you have set to aggressive. That is why your three answers in first contact are always rather harsh. it should change if you change that setting
Remember those special projects; they can help boost your research speed and give you some additional resources.
lol Shack ;D Magnus the Red was a Primarch in 40k and his Homeworld was Prospero. Of all the Primarchs Magnus craved knowledge the most!
SOOOO your first science ship and captain are a warhammer 40k regerence.
;D thats amazing
You know, there are a couple systems in your original territory that you haven't surveyed and I'm pretty sure there's one or two that you stopped in the middle of surveying.
expand to the east to make a nice line and when time comes you can push from the west and the north
Hey Shack, a way to decrease the hostility between your border factions is to set up embassies on their homeworlds, if you haven't done so already
This series has such high production values.
i learned that you can have swarms of corvettes in the late game like dominion bug ships
Change the way that they see you would be best, but it's not a bad idea to have some outpost between the boarders.
You can change the options in first first contact protcol
The planet you where going to colonize was Vega cause it has three volcano's you can remove and setup power plants. Now what I'm going to suggest is really going to be push the Alliance's luck. Find three planets beyond Reach and make a second sector to guard that flank. plus a frontier base or two over in the direction of the Cardassians to keep them away from Earth.
Oh no you've caught the attention of the Drej....Better start work on the Titan.
The alien leadership is a research project you can do later in the game
If the Aliens are willing to serve, they can be citizens. Just like anyone else.
The reason for not being able to have leaders from other species comes from lacking the research that grants it to you.
This is Chief weapons officer Richard Arc of the Destroyer WhisperWind, following the death of the Admiral there was a fleet wide salute of 21 shells fired from the destroyers in the fleet in memory of the great man that had passed on. What ruined it for me and the other gunners aboard the capital ships was we had to make sure that all the weapons were synced meaning we couldn't watch. Dam it! Signing off
You can use Shift and click on the reseach project so it'll stack commands for your reseach ships, Cap'n! That way you can stack up system scan commands and then swing back for projects after! Although it's very annoying if the science ship runs into an enemy vessle, cos it overwrites it's commands and flees without remebreing where else it was meant to go x.x

Alright, they're letting us make logs and call one person, so I'll try to make this brief.
I just graduated from high school when the war had ended. I wanted to join during my Junior year when I was 17, but my mother said that she didn't want to lose me like she lost father earlier in the war. He was a brave man, and I only wanted to follow in his footsteps. Thankfully, after I turned 18 and graduated, I signed myself up at the nearest Naval Recruitment Station. After having family and friends interviewed and questioned for days on end by the Recruit Evaluation Asset Regiment, I finally kissed my girlfriend goodbye and hugged my mother, I promised her that I'd make it through boot and return home when I got the chance to see her again. After such a tearful goodbye, I hopped onto the XP-661 shuttle and went to sleep, the flight to Fort Shack would take 8 hours, being in what was previously known as a "Germany". I was woken up the the crewmembers aboard the shuttle, me alongside the 61 other recruits would be arriving in only 10 "mikes"...whatever that meant. What felt like years were only minutes as we soon landed at a pad numbered 7, and the Senior Drill Instructor came aboard. After only a few seconds, he shouted out "YOU PUSSIFIED BAGS OF DICKS BETTER GET OFF THIS SHUTTLE AND GRAB YOUR SHIT AT THE SPEED OF MACH JESUS!". We quickly scrambled, I myself was slightly scared at how fierce the SDI seemed, he had a scar on his face from what looked like a fire, and I could see that he was an experienced solider. We only had 3 minutes to get our stuff and stand on a series of red footprints, our feet angled at 45°. I was holding my large pack in my arms, and a male behind me was holding a suitcase of all things...I felt sorry for him. A DI tore his ass up and threw his suitcase into the distance, his Exosuit powering his throw. "Stand at attention!", came the cry of a DI, and we all followed suit. "From now on, you are ALL equally worthless. Once you walk through THOSE doors, you will ALL treat everyone with the respect they deserve, and will NEVER be disrespectful to either a fellow RECRUIT, SOLDIER, OR CIVILIAN! MY NAME, is Praetorian Jackson Dodge, and I WILL, be your Senior DRILL INSTRUCTOR! Myself along side DECURION Harper Wilder and UHLAN Lepnotite Raz'Ik will ensure that MOST, IF NOT ALL recruits pass Bootcamp. If you DO FAIL TO COMPLY, with our rules, you WILL fail, for it is the CREED and HONOR of being a System Alliance NavaliQuod, that makes us ALL worthy of SERVING, AND FIGHTING FOR OUR PEOPLE! EVERYONE GET ON YOUR KNEES, AND LAY YOUR BAGS IN FRONT OF YOU!" As I fell to my knees and basically threw the pack down in front of me, I grinned mentally as I knew that if my father had gone through this, I could as well...I would do my nation, my parents, and my alliance proud!
Nice dude
Do continue! It is quite an interesting story!
Do you have a cat Shack? cuz around 40:00 there is a noise in the background that sounds like a cat.
you cant set it to allow leaders from all species because of the settings you selected when making the empire. and I dont think that can be changed mid game. you would have to redo everything
you should get non aggression packs with your neighboring empires.
admiral stieglemann, you will be missed, may the wind be in your back, and may the stars be on your side
Build a a defensive line mixing every available weapon type at your disposal. Wait for the torpedoes as well. Each and every system should have a jump trapped station on their border. If they declare war, double up the stations for problem systems while the fleet builds.
The better question is still: "Would you like to know more?"
i love that hospital ship. Looks so awesome
have you thought about doing a moded stellaris multiplayer stream?
'Expand and conquer all!!! Bring them into the divine righteousness of our way of life and If they rebel, annihilate them.' Senator H Lupercal, Holy Terra Movement.
i love the news thing at the beginning
You can do multiple special projects at once if they are the 180 day ones
Alien factory World! would be a great forward operating base!
Xp 20:15 its not 10% research speed flat out, its 10% research speed in quantum computing techs, for example the icon to the right of the torpedo research is rocketeering
id say focus on the exploration. although with the exploration we've already done the ability to defend ourselves would be greatly appreciated.
(A.K.A up the fleet or get space stations. maybe get a 2nd fleet on the go. The territory size mixed with hyperspace lanes means if we're attacked whilst the fleet is in the unexplored regions to the east, it'd be hard pressed to reach earth and we would likely loss a few to many stations in the new sector. plus the empires that a pissed seem to be superior in one form or another.
Plus you should have read the description and damage of space torpedoes the torpedoes are almost the same as missiles but slightly stronger and actually slower...
I have been watching but I don't know if you have open back up names I would like to be put into game but I don't really know if you have open names back up yet
Trust me corvettes extremely useful in game especially when AI stack a lot against your battleship just due to them being able to have more weapons putting fire on and the in game ship AI only being able to target 1 ship at a time.
Honestly Shack may want to try changing his First Contact Policy from aggressive to something else. Also, if he's worried about wars starting, he should just sign some non-aggression packs. Even if the other race breaks them, at least he get's something of a heads up before they declare war.
