I would Like to say first I am a huge fan of the game I have logged almost 1500 hours of gameplay my complaining here is not to start problems but bring eyes to a bug that is by all limitations, game breaking, and I find I cannot play the game until it is resolved.
Before the megacorporations upgrade which I am absolutely loving at the moment. Star-bases supported capacity was increased via population count. I never actually paid enough attention to 10 pops 1 base or the actual ratio. Regardless this is no longer the case. I have gone from 8 planets and 100 pops to 24 planets and 498 pops and the star-base capacity has not gone up even by 1 point. What this means for me especially playing as a Devouring Swarm, is that I will never be able to conquer the universe nor will I even be able to afford to support fleets to fight the end-game event. In short this is game breaking for anyone with aspirations for conquering and war. What it does mean is the only real way to play now is pacifism or corporate take-over but military power will be a joke. If this case is true for non-devouring swarms, religious pacifiers, and the robots who wipe out sentient race, is that the end-game event will result in the universe being utterly destroyed by either the end-game event itself or the fallen empires awakening, or even the khans. A player and or AI's fleet will not be economically capable of sustaining massive end-game needed power.
PLEASE I Beseech you. Fix this. This has been for me the greatest 4x space game since Master of Orion 3 (not that new bs one but the good old days). I would really hate to see new content break the game.
