Observation Post Change teased in Twitch (09Feb17)

[Bob_the_Insane]

This was briefly teased with no explanation just now...

One of those options looks new..

Guidance of some sort maybe? Changing a primitive's ethos?

 

[Bagfisch]

Who wouldn't want to become a god to primitives to steer them into a path you deem right?

 

[Hertzila]

I think from the look of the icon that you pose as gods and start leading them that way.
In other words, we might be able to go full Goa'uld.

I'd like the ability to tweak a developing culture's ethos......and since I know certain ethos are going to require my immediate declaration of war if they pop inside my borders, it's really a benevolent act in the big picture to try and spare them that war. If I had my choice, I would prefer an option to change their ethos as part of the enlighten process in addition to an option of changing it by playing god.

 

[Madzai]

Probably a way to make Pre-FTLs to follow your Empire Ethos.

 

[Diezy]

The Observation Post's staff is ever so full of surprises! How exciting!

Also, I always found it rather odd that everyone on the primitive planet had the same Ethics. Just look at Earth!

Their government ethics might be less predictable with the new 1.5 system. I think there'll be a way to indoctrinate the primitives to form a government similar to your own, though!

I have a few guesses about this
either we'll take a more direct method of interfering with their affairs in order to more intimately learn about or even manipulate their culture,
or we'll be basically enslaving the primitives without officially integrating them into our empire.

I would guess its a set yourself up as gods option

I would think that its a sort of alternative to infiltration but for lower tech planets only

 

[Drakonn]

I'd guess it has to do with whatever the Indoctrination mechanic is they'll introduce next week.
