What do you all think of all of these new unique/guaranteed systems?

[Dr. B]

It might be okay. With the amount of cheese available now, Stellaris is heading toward the path of the old Master of Magic:

It is simply so many ways to acquire powerful combos that an attempt to balance everything is futile. So we just pile on new rewards, and the game question is not IF you can break the game, but HOW. It is kind of fun in it's own way.

(This also work well with Paradox's DLC model. Just add more and more stuff! Too much micro be damned)

Getting a guaranteed relic world from the Rubricator chain EVERY SINGLE GAME is getting old

I also dislike the fact that the relic world and digsite are (practically) player-only, thereby significantly disadvantaging the AI, and also the fact that it is created as a new star system - likely creating a hyperlane that crosses another hyperlane. If it were up to me, I would change it so that:

1. the system has a modest chance of being created at galaxy generation
2. the anomaly still exists, but now it just points out the direction to the system (which is basically what the anomaly pretends to do anyway, when it creates the system)
3. the planet cannot be colonized before the digsite is finished; perhaps it should be a general rule that planets with unfinished digsites can't be colonized, similar to how anomalies block colonization

I kinda miss Paridayday can't even remember the last time I had that one.

This one was always rare though. I have like 4k hours into Stellaris and I've only found it twice.
Weapon Trails used to pop up every single game, like the Grand Herald. I still get Weapon Trails in half my games but I haven't gotten Grand Herald once since they nerfed the spawnrate, and that's been what? A year ago? Two years ago?

They're so incoherent with their changes...

I missed the Grand Herald when it was guaranteed and now it's too rare for me to get it, so I've never actually had it. I miss the worm. It used to have a way to force it, which probably was a bit too much, but now its so rare, I never get it any more.
