Absent aliens

[S.C. Watson]

I think the "Yump Drive" should totally be a thing.

It would be cool being the Empire that does all the uplifting, enlightening, and seeding.

Only to have that extra galactic threat obliterate you; leaving you to tag switch to one of those brand new races searching for their creators among the stars.

I'm actually really loving the idea of that, what if it's just you and a fallen empire or two, but because they stick to their home stars, it's just you mucking about and dividing the galaxy among primitive aliens in your own federation.

Yust one minute, don't yump on Martin's case yust because yay isn't a normal sound to him.

Don't yump easily on conclusions becaus it yust seems fit to do so! Yenerally said, it is yust about right so yudge things like this, because.. you know.. it's yust fun! And the shat is always right.

Is it possible to play with no other alien civilizations? I think it'd be a cool way to learn how to play, especially for new players! You only deal with your own political, AI & space beast problems. It'd give the game an eerie feeling, & no one tells you the dangers of this new weird jump technology.

I really liked this idea for Civ Beyond Earth - basically turning into an infrastructure-em-up like the Mars Trilogy or the narrative from SMAC. I am not sure it would work so well for Stellaris because it won't ever turn into a grand strategy.

Maybe it could be approached by having a changeable minimum distance between states? So you have to go further to meet Things Like You?

Yesus, you yust yammed it home. Yentle folks like me yeopardize our minds against your verbal yems.

And I suddenly want to put out a whole anomaly set based on this.

Speaker of the Secret Language?

Speaker of the Secret Language?

The Yumpin' Yiminy Chain.

 

[Abayonett]

Even if it is a viable way, i must disagree.
Seriously if you are the only "brainful" race in the space what is the fun of it, if 50% of the game is interactions with alien space empires?
And that would be really terrific to understand that you are alone in the freaking universe

They would emerge after you or be uptlifted by you.

You sorta form a Holy Roman Space Empire of uplifted species.

You just gave me an idea for my 2nd Play though. A Human Divine Mandate in a galaxy with no AI FTL Races besides the Fallen Empires. Goal: Uplift every species and integrate them into the glorious Holy Human Galactic Empire.

It would be a Mass Effect version of the council, but with Humans in charge of everything.

AS IT SHOULD BE.
