Late Game "Disasters"

[WilliamTheIII]

Dear PDS,
In the late stages of the game is a possible "disaster" a warp drive tear in space? We have seen many references made to famous sci-if games and TV shows and was wondering if this is possible in Stelaris.

In Star Trek TNG Force of Nature we see an event where over-using the warp drive has caused a rift in space. I think it would be interesting if that was a possible "disaster we would have to solve in the late game.

Not a warp rift, but researching the late game FTL drive will apparently make it possible for energy beings from another dimension invade us.

Personally I hope for a moddable Eye of Terror if too many psi-POPs congrate on a single planet for too long or something of the like.

If you research the jump drive tech then you start to use it there is a risk of opening a portal to another dimension which will bring about an invasion by beings from that other dimension, one of the fallen empires at least uses the jump drive on its ships and aims to protect the jump drive knowledge.

That makes sense, though it would be interesting for warp-drive civilizations to be severely hindered by a disaster like that and to see how they would overcome it.

it´s worth noting that the rule the federation made was never enforced (apparently because it got fixed or because it was nonsense/unenforceable)

I mean in a game a warp tear would be hilarious for about a minute then horrific when I realize I can´t literally do anything anymore

That makes sense, though it would be interesting for warp-drive civilizations to be severely hindered by a disaster like that and to see how they would overcome it.

Only if there are similar disasters for hyperdrive and wormhole drive civilisations, and they can also be mitigated to some or even all extents.

There would be reasonable for game balance. And I agree that there would need to be a way to fix the warp drive problem, maybe an event chain or a technology that will lead to a solution to the problem.
