View attachment 140999FTL Credit Trading is easy enough to figure out the meaning of in a lore sense, but I'm not sure what the advantages/disadvantages will be in a gameplay sense. I'm definitely not an economist, but it seems like FTL trading would create more integrated and productive markets, but also ones that are more vulnerable to galaxy-wide speculation and recessions. Don't even know how I'd model that in GSG terms.

Probably increases likelyhood/enables bad and good events related to it.
 
I have no interest in what those particular policies might be, but more keen to find out how policy system actually works. Those are very few policies and I suspect there will be more (certainly hope so). And that's another part I want to know. I wonder if you will gain more and more policies, sort of unlocking them as you go; or start with certain set of policies depending on your government type and other customized features as you create your empire. If not, then the policies could be universal and everything is already available and remains the same for every types of races. Again, if that's the case, then I would certainly like more varieties of policies than that in the screenshot. I mean, just look at the empty space below!
 
I can confirm that when I play a game as the New British Space Empire, "inhibition release" will be permenantly fixed in the off position. Exploring the galaxy and discovering new life and contacting alien species is no excuse for violating the unwritten standards of decency and decorum required by Queen and Empire.

As will Non-Interference Directive, I take it? :p
 
I for one am opposed to it on moral grounds.

After all, who are we to deny them the wonders of life as part of a civilized empire? They lives would hardly be better left free to wallow in their own filth, surely. :rolleyes:

But of course. And those biologically-evolved shells? They stink and are adapted to too narrow a range of tasks. Imagine what they could become when we load them up with gene mods and cyberware to use as shock troops!
 
Inhibition Release sounds to me like Vulcan pon farr. Most of the time your people are repressed, inhibited, coolly logical and emotionless. Then once a year they release all that pent-up emotion in a brief but spectacular orgy of sex, violence and loud music.

In other words' it's an ideal policy for the New British Empire

Quite the opposite, good sir. Three words:

Space Opium Wars

Which are are either the wars of Space Opium or the Opium Wars in space. I'm not sure which... but either will do.
