Well, this start seems very fitting from an RP-perspective. So many questions...

I absolutely love that the Blorg homeworld is right in the center of the "Forbidden Nebula".

That explains why the Blorg have been living in solitude for so long, no one ever found them.

It gets better
Cybrex Alpha was hiding one jump away from Blorg.
Other oddities in this screenshot. The Balderak were relocated to a gas planet in Cidar, then they asked me to colonize the other gas giant in that system.
Also, Arrakis, Aulderaan, and Covfefe systems in that screenshot.
For once they don't ask you to colonize a gas giant in Xenophobe FE's territory, or in the middle of a Devouring Swarm
Look a these mushrooms! Intellegent, natural physicists, talented, traditional, enduring, and swarm, devouring swarm
In my UNE playthrough they asked me to colonize gas giant in Sirius system (my 2nd colony), and then another one... in the same Sirius system.
Hmm, what to choose.. you know what, I'll choose something from the field I have the specialist for. (or should I say "specialists"?)
-40 habitability, -5 happiness. Ouch.
Actually, the name of this system isn't "Trabbur" but "PSR_J0737-3039"
...
And finally, sometimes it is better to outright invade primitives than let them destroy some valuable shit:
-this is before enlightenment
-this is after
PS. On unrelated note, Sanctuary is HELL for xenophiles. Non-xenophiles have it easy: invade and you get free full ringworld, just like that, you don't even need to spend minerals to fix it. As xenophile, you need to enlighten 4 civs, and each one of enlightened dumbasses takes all system to themselves (really pdx?), then you have to wait 10 years to start integrating, and THEN you have to repeat it THREE MORE TIMES. Oh, and also one of those civs is a fucking STONE AGE so it takes what, 40 years only for that ones? Arrrrgh!

Uhh... can anyone explain WTF is happening? For the record, I can apply Ascended template to ultra-hunams. I'm just not sure why I can do that...
Also, default rights are set to assimilation. I guess that doesn't apply to subspecies of original founder species? Or something?

Yeh, it's annoying but I had the same problem with psionic.
Of course, as you can see, the new template system allows you to apply any subspecies template to any other subspecies... So you could turn your last 2 humans synth probably. Or, funnily, turn your synths back human apparently?
I was able to turn my psionics back to non-psionic as well, if I'd wanted to.

What, why is it gone oO.
Because the primitives didn't like it
On a somewhat related note, isn't that your mod?
it is :3
I wonder if there's an event that wipes blockers from planets when primitives are uplifted
My guess is that they went to stand off from the first hostile it engaged, but that put them in range of another. They then moved on that hostile, putting them in range of another, so they moved again, and engaged another... and so on until they chained to something across the system, ending up in the middle of everything they hadn't killed yet.
Yes, it seems like that's exactly what was happening, I just question the logic of it - why it works as "50 units from farthest target" instead of "50 units from nearest".
I think it's more "stand off from current primary target" combined with the game tending to make the most recently-engaged target the primary. It's been a consistent frustration that as more enemies join the battle, ships will prioritize the newcomers over the current targets.
I just changed my policy to unrestricted native interference, invaded them, then changed it back 10 years later. Eventually the faction got over the fact that I once invaded primitives.
It helped that despite my governing ethics being 'egalitarian militarist xenophile' my biggest factions were materialist and xenophobe.
Indeed. Sanctuary has not converted well to the new one system - one Empire rule.
I thought Xenophiles can't change their Native policy to Unrestricted Studies...
Huh, yeah, that's what it says, but I was able to. I wonder if a mod screwed it up? I'm not running anything that's supposed to mess with ethics, just a couple AI mods and one that makes ether dragons spawn everywhere...
Nope! It's actually banned for pacifists, not xenophiles:
option = {
name = "interference_full"
potential = {
}
valid = {
NOT = { is_subject_type = signatory }
NOR = {
has_ethic = "ethic_pacifist"
has_ethic = "ethic_fanatic_pacifist"
}
}
Xenophile faction hates it, but it's allowed.
