Weird. Did you move your military fleets above their planet? I want to say it could be an edict/policy thing, but if you're Barbaric Despoilers... Your policies should allow it by default. Weird.

I understand why they restricted travel to hyperlanes, it doesn't mean I have to like it.

In other news, 2 jumps in one direction got me 'The Worm', 2 jumps in the other got ghost colony. Good times.

Do you mean What Was Will Be, What Will Be Was? Or the dimensional horror?

Yeah no I had some ships in orbit and everything. I'm going to chalk it up to user error and try again lol.

Glad to know that it works, though.

It does for this patch at least. I'm 95% convinced that Paradox is going to prevent it from happening or stop it from being so exploitable soon because it's way too strong and easy to do. The abducted pops don't even get culture shock until you invade the planet after all.

What if you blow the planet up instead? Also, can you raid a planet that you have an observation post over?

I'm 95% certain that I raided the planet with an observation post over top of it, but honestly I can't remember fully. That planet was in the path of some Marauders so I've had to build and rebuild it plenty of times. If you can spare the minerals, it's worth a shot.

All you need to do to avoid the Culture Shock is not invade the planet. Blowing it up should theoretically work too, though leaving it is probably for the best. Invading just makes an event pop up which gives all pops of that species culture shock. Don't invade and you don't get the event.

Being raiders is the first and so far only unremovable government policy that I think is actually worth it.

I decided to take a break from being a hive mind and try out a friendly pacifist federation.

It's a Huge galaxy and so far I've discovered about seven Slaving Despots, two Honourable Warriors (-100 because we're cowards) and a single spiritualist empire.

Well, I asked this a year ago and the answer was negative, so I might as well ask again since it seems that things have changed on this front: to what extent is it possible to play a Metroid "Space Pirate" race? Lots of conquest, genetic modification, slavery of other races, raiding others, etc.

Well there's the raiding trait you can take that allows you to bombard a planet while whisking their population away.

You can also get by real good slaving in general, and there's even more genetic modification options since a year ago.

So, sounds good to me.

The game is skewed to spawn empires of opposite/whatever ethnics as you. Don't ask me how badly but it certainly not in your favour.

I've had games where it's the opposite, though. I've played spiritualist friendly-folk and had 4-5 similar civs near me.

The game I'm in right now feels pretty strange. I'm bordered by ~4 empires and they all have the same ethics as me. Some don't have the intensities of ethics but they share both mine. It's a bit annoying since I was going to be militaristic and play with the new war system but everyone in my half of the galaxy has a +100 opinion of me.

Also, is there any way to turn off the "auto-best" ship designs that get created whenever you get better ship tech? It's infuriating having it pollute my designs whenever I research the next level of shields or whatever.

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

There should be a tick-mark in one of the corners that specifies whether the design can be auto-upgraded or not.

Yes at the bottom below the designs on the left hand side. Wish it could default to off...
