Stellaris Dev Diary #87: A Glimpse of the Future

[semaphore]

So the military stations are becoming "fleets" of defensive structures like the enigmatic fortress, and can be improved by adding further "ships"?

I hope I'm reading the picture correctly, I've wanted to see something like this for a very long time

 

[Milten]

I see. Defense stations will become space monsters and start reproducing normally.

 

[Darkath]

Well at least now we can stack and concentrate all station in a small circle rather than uselessly spread them around a system.

And yeah, it's probably a "fleet" of station rather than 4564 fleets of one station

 

[Spartan878]

@Wiz what do you mean no Context? We seen something similar with the Enigmatic fortress and its good to see that we will be able to create our own mega-structure like defense stations at a later date.

 

[Elfin]

I was just thinking of X3: Terran Conflict, and this station reminds me of something from that game

Corporations!!! (please, pretty please)

 

[Spiritraiser]

Can you do something to make trait updating more customized? Especially for machine empires? For instance I want my energy miners having different traits that material miners and of course researchers even more different!

 

[Guilliman88]

Mega Defence Stations? Some sort of mini or full megastructure defensive station?

Interesting.

 

[Ariphaos]

Does the red make it shoot faster?

Looks interesting...
That's a lot of stations...

But the filename says it's only one!

Maybe we can get to build our own enigmatic fortress...

 

[moscal]

Time travel confirmed.

I don't see Big Blue Box.

 

[Ladislav]

I am guessing, this concerns building Wonders

 

[Perv0n]

So now, we can build a space station around a star? I have a feeling it will replace frontier outpost.
I still hope also, that planet specializations are coming... with war respec - a planet specialized with sector defense ~,~

 

[Drinko]

New shipward for mass production of ships? interesting either way.

 

[Nis Baggesen]

it is obviously a new Crisis. The other Crises have all been somewhat military in nature, but this one will be a logistical crisis where all your space installations get lumped together due to temporal warping

 

[henzington]

Hopefully shipyards so I don't have to click on some many spaceports

 

[GuildenSpur]

Hehe nice one. Seems like a drone mother ship/station thingie.

 

[blackchoas]

interesting, hoping for new defensive megastructures

although can you advise on if you plan to do another expansion right away or is there a chance of us simply seeing a large free update?

 

[Saviour of Galaxy]

I am curious where are new ships. We have only few types. Should be at least 20 types.

Give me prisson ships to opress people even harder!

 

[C.N.]

It's clearly a mega trade hub!

 

[Leon12]

Oh, this looks like a prototype for the "spaceport centralisation" wiz talked about on the roblorg stream! So now instead of clicking 400 spaceports and having them build ships individually you develop a central shipyard complex that maybe builds multiple ships at once?

I'm assuming it also has "defense station slots" that will replace normal placed military stations to some extent, too.

Man I am so teased rn

 

[-Marauder-]

They were talking about a "Shipyard" Megastructure at some point they would like to introduce. Either that or a pretty big defensive station. Also having bases clustered so close hints towards a change to them aswell?
