Hello Guys,
Just wondering something I have been thinking since I read that part about ships and they announced bioships will tie to biology so you guys think there is a chance this implies we will have some kind of ship set also for this other DLC with it being Physics focus of some kind, own maechanics and so on.

Also that kind of makes sense now that we will be able to focus on different research areas and while normal ships mainly use alloys (so refined minerals) bioships will use mainly food. I guess this will use mainly energy.

While normal ships are not specialized but have access to all and are kind of the standard, bioships evolve while specialized on armor (and have some new cool mechanics too) these guys maybe focus on shield / cloaking and the new powers related to the shroud like maybe be able to overdrive them for some temporal bonus or something like that.

I don't know just something cool that had come to my mind since i read that also i am kind of super hipe for biogenesis and we will not know about this probably for long loooong time anyways

(Also i noticed there is another thread about speculation about general things of the shadows of shroud DLC but just wanted this to focus on the ships part).

Thats all have fun :)

i guess these new psi modules will change the ship visuals, also i hope hive minds get the option to go psionic too, since a hive mind is a super meat brain
i love both of this ideas :), i really like hive minds to have more ascension options also some more civics as they feel more limited to me i dont know comparing them to even megacorps. Lets see what biogenesis bring us about them. Then hopefully as you said psio ascension for them would be insane.


Edit: well seems like you dont need to hope this is from stellaris channel on youtube. (they are talking of shadows of the shroud so you will have to wait bit longer for it)

Unfortunately, if I remember right they mentioned in the dev live stream that the shipset in Shadows of the Shroud will be mechanical.
Oh i didnt know about that well make sense they had invested a lot already in all this expansion so maybe it was way too much to ask for that too hahaha thanks for the info tho. Lets see maybe something for the future :)

It would have been nice to get a new type of ship that uses Energy as resource and gets developed via the Physics research area rather than Engineering or Society(Biology). Something that is not quite a spaceship as we know it, but rather components and life-support environment held together by forcefields. Perhaps with a psionic variant that uses Unity instead of Energy as construction resource.
