So if they go back to replying more often, you'll complain that they're not concentrating hard enough on the programming? I don't believe that for a second.

Have you ever worked in a company that has crunch times? Seriously, sometimes it seems to me as if people are a bit too entitled nowadays. Back when I was working as a corporate drone and we didn't have social media, at least you didn't have to justify why you don't feel up to browsing the forums after you spent between 12 and 15 hours in the office with bad coffee to freaking optimise the website to be done in time.
I'm not saying that has to be the reason - for all I know the Pdox team might be hanging out on the beach, slurping martinis and peeling bikinis off of expensive call girls, resting on cushions filled with illicit DLC sale cash - but it seems likely to me that the reason has more to do with the upcoming release filled with revamped new content that needs to be balanced, tested and stamped as good to go, rather than some sort of apathy.

This sounds fantastic. I love that they skipped the whole "get rid of 500 farms you no longer need" stuff for us.
I'm also looking forward to genetically tailoring all of my planets to be fantastic at what they do.

So it seems that biological pathway is going to have some nice slave options(livestock 'n nerve staple).
But why shouldn't the synths get something similiar? Give them an option to implant lesser species with mind control cybernetics, or convert them to "living powerplants"(Matrix style).
Don't leave us gearheads without a bit of love :<
EDIT: Maybe you should consider an implant system similiar to "traits" for next DLC? It's a deep branch of science and can be expanded greatly. Even so as making whole new event trees(prospecting for ancient cybernetic desings in ruins spawned from anomalies and such)

No but that might just mean that they then have time to do so. And your charter did not even imply a consistent fall in replies.
I feel like there is more potential for this DLC. Like for example, the paths you chose should be a spectrum, like the ethics allignment. You could be full geneticist, or genetically modified to accept augmentations without rejecting them, or genetically modfied to amplify your psionic potential, or psionically interface with your mechanical augmentations. You could even seek to blend the lines between machine and organism, going so far as to grow your ships on trees 
I also think disaster events should be possible... you could for example create an entire planet of cronenbergs, accidentally... something to do with mantis DNA and the flu.
I also think that there should be a sort of cold-war dynamic between people who are pro-AI and are anti-AI, and anti synth/ pro genetic etc...

Don't worry mang, I've got your back. You just remember your ol'buddy pal got sources when you get that craving and we'll get along juuust fine.
possibly.Hehehehehehe! is everyone this crazy here in this threat?
I have a few questions.
1) Will you be able to go down multiple ascension paths? For example; Let's say I get the first stage of the of the Cybernetic path for the cyborg trait but then go down the Biological path for the rest of the game?
2) If you start an ascension path do you have to go through it to the end? Would I have to turn my population into synthetics because I was researching synths?

1. No, you only can go down a single path.
2. You don't have to go until the end, since ascension is conected to 2 perks, it seems that you can choose ony the first perk, without the need of choosing the second. You will ony have to turn your pops into synths if you choose the second perks of synthetic ascension.
You mentioned an emphasis on role-playing different types of empires, and many of us are excited to see these new features put into place, I'm sure. One thing that always bugged me, though, was running into my own created empires, only to find them acting entirely "out of character" from what I've envisioned.
Hoping to see all these new perks, policies, and things being available in the creation screens, or at least some presets to choose from.
Keep up the good work!

This is just another voice in favour of various synth shapes. At least one non-antropomorphic is required so that it could be used by any species without associations with humans.
Soooo... I have two questions about synth ascension:
1. What would happen to species conquered during or after ascension? If I want to turn everyone in galaxy synth or just enforce bot reign over meatbags should I wait with this until I conquer what do I want?
2. How would it affect laws in empire?
