These screenshots make me suspect some serious bug is at work. Do Sol's companions (Barnard's Star, Alpha Centauri, Sirius, Procyon) exist in those games? Judging from screenshot I suspect not everyone is there. That means the game fails to generate those guaranteed companions due to galaxy geometry. So that location shouldn't be allowed as starting spot at all.It can be worse

god, even if you do get the improved warp drive by the time you break out your probably going to run into someone who can crush you.
I wish I could get a start like that, it sounds really fun to play from even if it's far from optimal.
Well, It'd be more fun to get that whenever the update/dlc rolls out.

no worries about barbarians thenIt really reminds me of an old silly Civilization 5 challenge from a weird spawn. The Crabtopia.
Sorry, I didn't have more screenshots to show but all usual Sol's companions are there and reachable.. by hyperlanes
.It's really a problem only with Warp and 4 arms galaxy
. But the solution is just an easy restart .EDIT: of course, hyperlanes not hyperlink

Ok then. Let's see how @RELee 's game will develop and whether the companions also exist in his game. If this is a problem with warp only, we should really consider to either increase warp I's range to 50, or reduce the maximum possible distance of a neighbor to 45. There's no point of guaranteed colonizable planets if they are not immediately reachable, after all.Sorry, I didn't have more screenshots to show but all usual Sol's companions are there and reachable.. by hyperlink

So @RELee, did you have some time to play once to got from work? Just curious whether you managed to salvage that game.
I had a game where (using wormholes) I was in a similar situation. I was stuck at the pointy end of a spiral with a single colonizable planet, as I tried to travel along the spiral (using my one planet reachable bridge), I discovered a fanatical purifier empire in the way.
Ended up declaring war on them but effectively stalemating since I couldn't build enough ships to overwhelm their spaceport on their homeworld (considering they were producing ships at the same rate).

Except that they can raid any improvements you build. (Provided that you manage to send a worker there.)
But I suppose that one Warrior would be enough to fend them off. (But if you can send a worker there, you can send defensive units as well. Yeah, I'm not as smart as I thought I was..)
Work followed me home last night. There was a wreck which kept me on the road for an hour and forty minutes. The help desk was calling me before I could even get home. Wound up working until almost 8 last night, so there was no time for starting up the game. Sorry.
If not tonight, then definitely tomorrow morning after I take out the trash, buy some new pants and start a load of laundry, so about 8:30 or 9:00 AM CST.
Nah. I use the term "work" very loosely. I used to work for a living about 35 years ago. Now they pay me to play with computers.
So can you tell us where are Alpha Centauri, Sirius and Procyon, once you discover them? I guess Sirius is the star straight right of Barnard's Star in neighboring arm, Alpha Centauri is the closest star in your arm, and Procyon is one of the stars beyond AC.
I feel your pain. I was in a worse situation in MoO 3.
I was on point edge of the galaxy arm and despite having hyperline to everywhere else. There were two guardians blocking my path to the rest of the galaxy. It took at least 200 turns, out of hyper lane travel is SUPER slow, to found out the second system was also blocked in by a guardian. Sadly I did not have the colony ship on the way.
So I end up set federal grant for planet development and science budget to max.
Once I reach the end of the tech tree I start rapidly build different build and was building a max-size possible warship on a size 2 dwarf planet and broke out.
Needless to say as soon I made first contact. The entire galaxy hated my gut because I had gazillion of transport ships all chilling out.
As soon I sent my guardian successful design to make the first strike. Lets just say they were completely blind to 1000 nuclear missiles/200 of my most powerful warhead/250 fighters from just two warships designed to overwhelm PD and died; due to overenthusiastic usage of ECM and ECCM.

By the way, 1000 (+3) influences? It's time to run edicts. Freedom of thought, Physics research grant, and planet ones to boost mineral or energy production.
Done done it. Got Planetary Capitol or whatever it's called with +1, and all that stuff. It's most excellent.
Here you go.
May 19, 2248 - researched WarpII and updated science ships and building an updated colony ship.
