Stellaris Dev Diary #87: A Glimpse of the Future

[Birnenpappe]

I hope the next update will be 1.9 'Tanaka', with everything what is implied by that.

 

[Andy_Dandy]

The surrounding defence-stations aren't that interesting, but this big thing looks like a spaceport, which is connected with 6 other ones - time will tell^^

Yeah, that might be the main super shipyard of an empire, heavily defended.

 

[Ikael]

Wiz clearly activated Rick's selective magnet and tuned it to attract space stations. The pic is just the logical outcome of that.

Talking seriously, my bet is defensive station + shipyard rework.

 

[EvilKnievel82]

Maybe it's

1. the new headquarters for the contincency?
   
2. a new minor fraction (Mercenaries?) like the traders etc.
3. a new Megastructure, e.g. military headquarters
4. a planet destroyer?

 

[Rafss]

It's the Shipyard Crisis definitely. Shipyards spawning constructors spawning shipyards, what else could be more menacing?

 

[Dsingis]

No more restriction for building space stations near each other? I can finally make a total death trap by stacking 10 fortresses on the only hyperlane into my territory? xD

 

[FuzzyLogic]

The ability to build starports over unpopulated worlds would certainly help tall empires...

 

[Axelius]

26th of October, eh? That might actually give me some time to actually do some modding instead of dreaming of what I'll do once the next update will bring.

 

[Uglyr]

Looks like Voltron thing )

 

[Davarey]

Is that a big shipyard with multiple ships building at a time? I hope so

 

[Gornova]

A star destroyer!

 

[Featherbeak]

Maybe its just me but I would really like it if the dev diary started with todays date. It makes it easier to follow if you missed one.
Cheers!

 

[Ambereyed]

Spaceport + defence stations + frontier outposts rework.

You will start with building frontier outpost to claim a system, and it will be upgradeable with many components. You will be able to transform it into shipyard, or fortress, or something between.

 

[samz812]

military megastructures are the logical next step i feel so i do hope this is what this picture is hinting, also i do LOVE the idea of having a proper shipyard structure where i can build multiple ships at the same time on the same structure

 

[Stadhouder]

It's a federation HQ. Wizz, the diplomat he is, loves federation building but is finally realizing the lack flavor and immersion.

 

[marvin the martian]

It's the Shipyard Crisis definitely. Shipyards spawning constructors spawning shipyards, what else could be more menacing?

It's like a grey goo-scenario, but with shipyards!

 

[Salje]

Is that finally that system shared spaceport that was mentioned sometime ago as potential change? Maybe we are getting also the system wide mining and research stations too that were mentioned?

 

[Avil]

It's a space bee station, and they make space honey.

 

[AlchemistaGPH]

Great game, thanks to the commited dev team. A well deserved rest, no doubt.

That being said, the thing from the image looks like taken from Rick & Morty.

 

[Army Pea]

Civilian ships (placeholders obviously) going to some type of cultural space station?

Unity confirmed
