L-Cluster Options

[D3vlisluck]

There should be a way to turn off the L-Cluster. It's not like L-Clusters are an essential part of the real universe so the fact that we are forced to play with them on is confusing in the first place. I have actually been forced to turn off the Distant Stars DLC because I find it so annoying, which is unfortunate because I would really like to play with the other things introduced in this pack without having to install a mod to remove them. Nearly every time I play a game with the L-Cluster, an AI empire opens it too early and there are almost always gray tempest on the other side. This almost immediately ruins the game after I had invested so much time already. Not only that but the fact that enemy empires are essentially able to invade you from anywhere there is an L-Gate is really frustrating.

The real issue is the AI typically isn't prepared to deal with the 25-30k fleets. But in my latest game the AI is doing much better with it's fleets.

But yeah, realistically you should be pumping out Bships by the time the AI is opening the L-Gates.

Grand Admiral
Huge galaxy
Earliest midgame, earliest endgame
Majority of AI empires advanced start
Extra super scaling tech for AI
All 3 crisis
10x crisis
Non-meta player empire
Tech cost scaling increased

I mean, having cruisers by the time an AI can pull off the L-Gates is hard with high enough settings.
