Post lunch support and future DLCs - question to the devs

[CarbonBruce]

Hi all,

This will be a question to the devs I guess, but we can all speculate as well.
Making the assumption that the release will be a financial success, is there a plan to release additional content in the future in form of a separate DLCs?
If yes, what we can expect?

Thanks for any answers!

I dont know the answer, but if one of them isnt titled "Once you have their money, never give it back" ill be very disapointed.

I want to be grand nagus

I think the planet would spin off its orbit if Paradox had no DLC plans for this!

I’d expect more factions as well as story expansions at the least. Very curious what major expansions they may also have in mind.

I am sure they had DLC plans for Lamplighter's League, too. Let's hope this game has a more promising launch.

sure. speculation is fun.

they will look how it goes. i doubt they have plans for DLC like stellaris. if it goes well but not exceptional, I would assume we see one small dlc with fluff and a bigger dlc with another power. dominion would be too big, but you never know.

if it does not work well we will see no DLC at all. if it is a success like no other .. well paradox normal dlc policies follows. but more like CK3 with a few DLC and less like cities skylines 1.

they COULD milk it with ship sets for minor nations (you never see in game because you will play on the galaxy map), and sure, no harm done if they do that. but that is not for me.

Also, i think the way the game works now does not really allow for playing minor or small nations. Playing Gorn aggressively to get stomped by the Klingons does not look promising.

Yeah other recent paradox releases that were developed in house had dlc plans outlined pre launch so the fact that the answer has been "we arent ready to talk about it yet" indicates to me that it is contingent on launch performance. If it does well then some easy wins as far as Im concerned would be:

1. A dominion crisis expansion

2. Ship flavour packs (like you said new models for minor powers and more skins for majors)

3. Additional support powers like Breen and Gorn

4. Additional minor powers (like a million possibilities)

5. Pirates and outlaws (orion syndicate, maquis, etc)

Also wouldn't mind an expansion letting you do a player character like how you get to design your first leader in Stellaris. I dont believe you can configure your leader at the game start from what Ive seen in streams.

The game needs some work on bugs and crashes so the near term patch support is more urgent.

I do like what I saw but needed more cooking.Suprised they released such a possible big money maker early.

Please do report any bugs in the Bug Reports sub-forum so they can be fixed. I haven't seen any so far.
