Made my day.

Game does this from time to time with long event chains: precursors, species procurement, rich asteroid targets, gas giant species migration - you name it. It would be nice if dev's would add some tech for disguising science ships for such occasions.

whoops, i guess diplomacy is out of the question now

 

[Nyanko-sensei]

Great, you can now go and explore this system

Funny enough there wasn't anything in the system? either my federation buddies or the fallen empire must have gotten to it first

 

[Necro_Man_Ser]

Dark Stars - prepare to die

May be FE has found something on this system what made them mad on you?

But seriously, for few precursor chains I've completed I don't recall finding something awesome in the end anyway. Maybe some resources or experience for scientist.. but definitely nothing to justify 150-year long quest.

They didn't like it when my borders started to rub up all over them. Yeah it probably doesn't, but this war just got me some juicy new systems.

Beast babies?

Btw i finished this game yesterday, these are just some of the screenshots i took

Have same situation. We became friends with FE, they gave me a gift. After I finnaly enter that system - nothing there.

 

[Necro_Man_Ser]

Lol @ beast-babies

IIRC the precursor chain is supposed to spawn an anomaly.

Anomalies never spawn for you in systems someone else owns.

Conquer first, then investigate.

Can't click helpful enough.

And a proper response might be.
"And you foul... pointy headed... ugly dude. You have threatened our Babies! No one does that and lives. Especially ugly... pointy headed... ugly... dudes. Prepare thyselves for DOOOOOM!

Which is ridiculous, IMO.

There's really no reason to even have open borders because of it.

That's a laughable sentiment- open borders impacts so many more things than availability of research sites.

 

[GloatingSwine]

Open borders lets you drive through people's space to investigate space the other side of them, and spy on all their stuff so you can plan where hit them hardest.

Barely. The Devs whole justification for having them be automatically open was so that it didn't impede exploration or in-progress questlines once the player inevitably finds themselves boxed in by their neighbors.

Well... That's kind of a pointless gesture when you can't discover any anomalies, including the variety that many in-progress questlines require for completion, in space owned by another player anyway. The problem is almost exactly the same as before.

Your best bet was simple conquest before, and it's still simple conquest now.
