Dear devs. Please give us the option of disabling behemoths through the game setup advanced options. I have disabled Supremacy and set the Behemoths to only occur after the cooperative quest. Then I disabled multiplayer quests/events but the quest still pops up. I don't believe Behemoths (particularly Obliterators) are in a good place right now for reasons already discussed in other threads in this very forum and would like to play without them until changes are made. However, I cannot seem to do so.

For now, ES2 will sit, collecting dust, until things are balanced and Obliterator spam is a thing of the past.

Disabling Supremacy should do this.

It doesn't.

Does it disable Hissho?

Yes, but not the Behemoths. The Behemoth unlock cooperative quest still triggers, even with cooperative and competitive quests disabled in new game setup.

That's pretty weird.

Can you disable the expansion from the Steam DLC screen?

Hello,

Thank you for your report.  I've tried to reproduce the issue on our side but unfortunately couldn't.  Would you happen to have a save we could take a look at where this issue happens?

Are you sure that it doesn't disable behemoths even if the quest still triggers? Does the option to decide whether behemoths should require the quest or not still appear?

I would actually like to see an option to disable behemoths with the Supremacy DLC still active for Hissho. I may look into modding this if I can, as it'd require some tweaks to Hissho also to make them compatible with no behemoths.

That sounds an excellent option!

I'd still like to see this option added. I like Hissho more than I thought I would, and I understand some of their bonuses and quests are related to behemoths, but after playing a few games with Supremacy now I really feel like behemoths are absolutely awful and I have no interest in playing with them ever again. Even ignoring obliterators, the other behemoth types are just poorly implemented and stomp all over normal gameflow in a very detrimental way. They are ugly, too common, trounce all over early-mid game fleets, and the economic ones don't make sense, have lopsided balance between modules, and the mining ones are ridiculous levels of micro. This is the first time in ages that I am fully disabling a DLC for a game, I just wish I could keep some of the content so it doesn't feel like such a waste of money.

Same. I really love the idea of behemoths, but they seem to have been implemented in a game-flow breaking way.
