Things that DON'T matter, but break immersion just a little or don't make sense

It takes 4 years for my fleet to travel from one end of the empire to the other.

It takes 4 seconds for my admiral to do the same thing.

They're working remote when you swap ships/fleets they simply dial another zoom call. Admirals can still die from battles due to embarassment.

The biggest immersion breaker for me is the idea that the least populous species on a planet is more likely to increase in size than the most populous species.

Among hundreds of them, the fact you can dampen the nerves of your armies infinitely to increase their health. There has to be a limit, is there something beyond unfeeling?

Yeah, you can get into Cenobite territory where pain is pleasure.

Works on Cybrex Warforms also. Had them to over 3k health each before I got bored with that save and quit. Just wondering how high I could have had them if I played another 100 or so years lol

I really, really want to nerve staple Pinkie Pie...

Trade and Factions (and by extension influence) and how Gestalts don't get proper analogous systems or bonus for not being able to properly take advantage of them.

Not that kind if dampen. They meant more like "moistening" their nerves.

Playing as humans and having earth be at or near the center of the galaxy. I know it's not our galaxy and there's no way to make it always spawn on the edge

It still feels wrong

Also the dumb star names. There's plenty of real (or at least realistic) star names to use.

You'd have the astronomy nerds complaining that the relative locations aren't correct. And if they were correct, they'd be clustered in just one small part of the galaxy, because we don't name stars on the other side of the galaxy or too far from Earth to be notable. So that doesn't work either.

Agreed.

It'd be nice to have some options in galaxy creation for Sol's location and Earth's status like "No Sol", "Real Location", or "Random" and being able to choose whether we have medieval Earth, early space age Earth, Tomb World Earth, etc.
