Yeah, I know the game already chugs a bit during endgame at the largest size, but with all the new empires and content and such that has been added, the option to have a larger galaxy would be nice, if only just so things dont seem so cluttered.
Can we get larger galaxy sizes?

agreed! and maybe in an even larger galaxy we can have all our marouders, fallen empires, curators, leviathans, caravan AND AI empires that can maybe become large enough to pose an actual threat to us
Yeah, that too. Something I've noticed is that a lot of things just get crowded out before they get a chance to do anything.agreed! and maybe in an even larger galaxy we can have all our marouders, fallen empires, curators, leviathans, caravan AND AI empires that can maybe become large enough to pose an actual threat to us
Well they'd probably have to make the fixed outer 'map' edge larger to stop the whole 'entire galaxy squashed up against the edge becoming a square' thing otherwise cramming more stars into the galaxy sizes in use now is just going to end up being incredibly cramped.
If they fix late game lag, yes. Otherwise I am not a fan of waiting two minutes for each month to pass.
Set the amount of empires to maximum, minus 2, and minus 1 for each fallen empire you enable. This gives enough room for some empires to really grow and pose a threat. Also set hyperlane density to 1.75 because otherwise some empires just get stuck and tiny.
Use mods for it but it feels like such a simple thing that it should be in the base game.
It's a very carriage before the horse idea. Fix the lag so we can play the largest maps before giving us even larger maps.then don't use it
To quote a great man: Wroooong.
I have a pretty top of the line PC, I can indeed play on huge/large maps at fastest during the early game, sure. However once you reach year 2400 it really starts to chug to around the same speed as Normal.
Now I don't know if your name is supposed to be ironic(not trying to be toxic, you said it not me), but outside of watching huge battles, playing on normal is incredibly boring and way too slow.
I'd be happy if you could choose to have more nations in the current map sizes, like you can in multiplayer. Would be nice to be able to have 40-50 nations on a huge map in singleplayer if you wanted to.
Well unless the devs truly do something great with the lategame lagg there is no point. Unless you got the magical CPU the lategame lagg would be unbearable.
I think too many people have machines that can barely handle medium galaxies late game never mind larger maps.
I suspect the number of people who could actually play a galaxy larger than 1000 stars is so low that it just isn't worth the Dev time for something that's already served just fine by a multitude of mods.
For the obligatory, "but mah cheevos!" Crowd response to that, get over yourselves, no one cares.
Same situation for me, maybe going a bit closer to fast by then, but you can be sure i feel it when one of those robot rebellions pop!

Because you'd want to focus effort on one issue at a time.
Robot uprising in admiral or higher on pretty much any map if the empire is big enough makes the game chug because a billion freaking ships spawn.
And yeah, just use a mod if you want it that bad. I for example haaaaaaaate the new border visual design but I use a mod to return it somewhat to what they were originally.
Why devs cant make larger galaxies (optional, not forced), and THEN fix late game lag? (If this will not be fixed with 2.2)
Waste of time to make larger galaxies when no one can play the current largest in late game.
A good example is why hire better staff at a restaurant that is in the middle of the amazon?
There are already mods that do this. If you want the game to be unplayable, but all means have at it.
They can. Adding bigger galaxies is not very hard. But the thing about game developement is that features aren't implemented "just cuz", they have to be play tested at work effectively for the game.
If they release bigger galaxies players will just complain about how awful the performance is. You don't add features to your game that cannot be supported. Even with a $5000 system, the game will chug on massive galaxy.
