How do these suits work? Sci-fi stuff, don't ask stupid questions.

Damn! I want to craft some of those in my garage. It's real stuff, as I "see" it. Real stuff suits. Must hit me blunt, I guess.

One slight correction (boy, I'm having fun being pedantic recently):

The solid core doesn't have to be very dense or heavy (or even exist). The atmosphere is massive enough to provide the gravity to hold the atmosphere in place. How that gas came together in the first place is its own deal, of course.

Here is the trick: w/o dense core, just enormous amounts of gas will occupy much more space. So much so such gas "giants" as Jupiter will be gas "midgets" )) Otherwise there will not be enough mass to make gravity strong enough to endure solar wind and other stuff.
I don't remember the formulas, unfortunately.

Oh, and this!

I wonder why after the last Sun's supernova there was a zone with so much lightweight gas at all. I mean, closer to the Sun and further from it, there is mostly heavy stuff - carbon, sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen and others, but Jupiter's atmosphere is mostly hydrogen. Why?

edit2
What if Jupiter kinda "harvested" solar wind and solar flare bursts with Jupiter's strong gravity, so in time most of hydrogen was collected from around?

The hydrogen and other ligther elements also were present closer to the proto-sun. But the solar wind literally blew it away when fusion started. Heavier atoms stayed put, because the solar wind is not strong enough. When you get to Jupiter's distance, the solar wind is weaker, and there was so much material already condensed that the planet's gravity also kept the wind in check (i.e. the gas in the planetary atmosphere stays there).

Thanks. Just out of curiosity: could you provide a link to more detailed explanation? Please?

I know modded strange screenshots are usually frowned upon by nature of their being unlicensed and buggy, but I had to share these:

Apparently there's a dimensional portal on the Moon (or under; this is a subterranean colony). I can't help but think we should've known about that... or maybe that's what happened to all those satellites that've deorbited over the years.

The event explicitly mentioned that you needed very precise atmopsheric measurements (weather prediction level at least) to even notice the portal.
I guess noticing the loss of Oxygen works as well.
 
I know this is a bug, but it's still funny. I have over 3 million fleet strength and I am still considered so much weaker than these little fellas. I can't imagine what their fleet strength must look like.

Oh wait! I have a Sentry Array! I can totally see that they don't have a fleet! I'm calling hacks!

I can't believe that Ancient Aliens guy was right...

I made contact with a bunch of empires at once and this was among the messages I got:

Not how I'm used to being greeted by traders, I gotta say...

Their mighty freighters may damp prices for one goods and visa versa for other goods. They may inflate your economy, flood your markets and empty your stockpiles. They may collapse your entire economy in a day.
They are Riggans.
The Savages of Free Market.
 
Strange stuff whose ultimate cause is the dubious use of the Slave Market by the AI: defenseless planets that produce nothing but amenities!

Here's an example: 16 Pops, no defending army, 70 Amenities extra!

How is this possible? Most of the Pops are in fact Servants, which explains why the Stability is so low. The Empire is xenophobe, so all species other than the Founding species are probably enslaved … Which prevents most of the buildings to be actually used! Hence, no army from enforcers.

And the AI has wasted resources to build stuff here that is unused

These Pops probably come from the slave market, as I have seen the same situation in the same empire on planets other than Tomb Worlds. The AI may have bought them and then built a colony ship from these Pops. But as no ruler can live on this worlds, they are not very productive to say the least.

Apparently Deneb-Terrans taste better than Earth-Terrans.
Click to expand...
Its all about the environment you grow up in. Earth's polluted air has really bad effect on taste. Question is, how long ago did they visit? Couldn't have been that far back, I mean, Deneb was settled via FTL accident IIRC, so its not like these people visited it couple thousand years ago.
 
As long as my people do not know they've been eating (their favorite past time snack) sentient man-chickens, this is okay. In fact, I find this much more civilized than those damn barbaric devouring swarm (yuck!).
