How flotilla shield works? 6 years ago

The way each ship's shield works is rather well-known.

However, flotilla shield lacks detailed description on its mechanism. Result screen also does not give detailed info about flotilla shield's effectiveness.

So, here's my questions.

Q1) Is shield capacity of the flotilla shield shared value in flotilla?

Q2) How can I calculate the absorption rate of the flotilla shield?

Q3) Will having both flotilla shield and standard shield decrease the damage twice while the capacity remaining?

How does damage apply? 6 years ago

How does damage apply?
Example:
-Ship A has all beam weapons and deals 100 damage.
-Ship B has a 50/50 shield/hull modules and has 1000 hp with X% projectile and y% energy damage reduction.
-They fight on middle range.
Does that 100 damage first damage shield? Is it first reduced by shield and when hitting plate reduced by it?
Can anyone explain how damage is applied, would be really grateful.

How does Autobuild AI works? 6 years ago

As far as I could say, the AI should auto-build every kind of system development. But with my tests, I failed to make those AI-marked system work at all. And with Unfallen, and so many systems, the last game was a little painful, to manually set up every new system (and vineships are pretty fast at taking systems in endgame).

But, since we are here, we could go a little deeper.

- How does AI works with strategic-costing system improvements? Does it just build everything, thus making you spending resources you could have just little numbers of?

- How does AI works with dust and science infinite system production (25 and 50% industry usage)

- Will ever AI try to build Wonders?

- Will ever AI try to build ships?

- Why I cannot properly set up AI on my systems?

How can I get rid of unwanted population? 6 years ago

Hi,

Just after playing ES2 a bit, during EA, I discovered that sometimes you want to get rid of unwanted population. Examples are Cravers that are depleting you planets or people that appears is not Horatio and makes your system ugly.

For sure there's people who will be glad to receive some help in ways of "accompanying these people out of your systems".

Auto-ship repair: condition & rate of repair 6 years ago

Q1) What is the condition of getting my ships automatically repaired by turn without using Dust or Hero Skills?

Q2) How much proportion of HP will be regenerated by turn?

Someone says your ships will only be repaired by 10%/turn in your system with 100% ownership. Some others say your ships will be repaired if that fleet is inside the circle of influence of friendly system. Another person says that you should put your ships in hangar in order to get auto-repair. What should I do?

Vodyani Meta 6 years ago

I love playing the vodyani, I think its extremely fun to steal population and have ships that are your means of colonising, but it feels like no matter how hard I try to vary my gameplay, doing things in different orders like focusing colonising lots or making lots of leeches early on and such, I always fall behind. I don't think its just me either, I've heard similar complaints from friends of mine. We all like the Vodyani for thier unique playstyle, but it just feels like they are always on the backfoot, falling behind imediately. So this brings me to my question.

Is there a sort of "meta" way of playing the vodyani, like a way of playing that is arguably the most effective way of not falling behind early on both in terms of score, tech, industry, military etc. Like is the way to go early on lots of leeching? lots of colonising? should colonies be close together, or placed wherever there is an opportunity to settle. So many related questions and I'm curious to hear what you guys have to say. Please let me know how it is you try and get ahead of the game as Vodyani, or at least to not fall behind early on because of overcolonisation or over focusing one area of play.

When (and how) should i start building fleet to be most efficient? 6 years ago

Pretty much title. I always seems to struggle with early fleet, something that happened with me in othr 4x games (Civilization), but not in ES1. It always looks like there is too much improvements to build, and ship cost always just a little bit higher then i'd liked it to be. So, what is the best strategy?

How are senators chosen? 6 years ago

Hi,

As I'm not wure which criteria is used to pick senators heroes I'm asking. Actually seems is the best hero of this political party. But what's best?

• Older one?
• Higher level?
• One with more unlocked senator skills?

I'm not sure, cause in most cases the hero is then same regarding three options, but sometimes you may have heroes accomplishing only one of these.

Cannot Load or Create New Game 6 years ago

How trade routes affect food & industry? 6 years ago

It seems there is bonus from trade routes to food & industry production of system. My questions are

1. Which factors affect the amount of food & industry granted by trade routes? (eg. trade value of system/level of trade company etc.)
2. Does having multiple trade routes passing through the system multiply the food/industry bonuses?
3. Do trade routes passing my system but invisible to me (because I do not own that trade route) grant food/industry bonuses?

Civilian fleets at the home systems 6 years ago

My greetings, inquisitive community. I have a question to ask and puzzle to solve for you.

Im playing the game for a while, and discovered a strange natural phenomenon: On some turn, above the skyies of my home system starting to pops up neutral "civilian fleet". Untargetable, untouchable, unstopable, unuseful chaotic hounds, invading our world on every home system and spreading deadly nothing. 

What they are? What their goals are? Where they are from? What they are waiting? 

God save us all.

PS. It's kind a joke, but a serious question.

PPS. Sorry for my english. Not my first language.

Umbral Choir hacking path 6 years ago

Hi,

i tried my first steps with the new faction, but ran straight into a rather interesting situation. I started two new games, but in both i started on a node with only one pathway out and with a minor faction or pirates on it, one or two nodes away. This of course leads to a fast trace of my home system when trying to get anywhere.

Did i just hit the worst possible starting situation twice, or does anybody know how to play around this. I tried waiting until i got the speed increase and the defensive hack decrease, but their speed outpaces me easily still.

Rewards? How to get them? 6 years ago

Hi! So next to the house icon of this site, there is a box with a moving emoji that says NEW GIFT! Apparently i have gifts to claim, but it says to link account to Steam.

Edit: Weird enough my account settings say the steam account is already linked, but it's the only place where it shows that.

Help for hacking at greater ranges D: 6 years ago

I can't really decide how to go about this, even while playing as the UC.

1. Backdoors is an option but seem pretty lackluster. Creating a backdoor doesn't seem to guarantee that you'll be able to hack through them unnoticed (not that it says anywhere that it will, but at least then you'd be able to build up some speed, right?), it takes up valuable bandwidth, you can't defend the node with defense programs, and if you're traced back to the backdoor both the backdoor and your hack is lost. That 5% hacking speed boost that it's supposed to provide on its neighbors (whatever that means) I don't feel makes up for all the downsides.

2. You can create new colonies or sanctuaries, but it's limited how many of those you can have before penalties start kicking in, and if you're playing as the UC and the sanctuary is on a colonized system, you're again not guaranteed to be able to build up some distance/speed before getting caught in the process.

3. You could try to maneuver around hostile nodes to get to what you want, but that can be really finicky, and if your target is inside a big cluster of hostile nodes, there's still no getting around that.

4. If you're playing as the UC there is the option of switching home systems, but then you have to hack your way to a fitting special node which can take time if where you want to go is far away, and then you still have to wait 15 turns for SOME (correct me if I'm wrong) of the penalties to go away so you can switch, not to mention losing all other existing beacons.

As a side note, those beacons are annoying. They take up bandwidth and don't even allow you to hack from them :<

So I don't know what to do :( Anyone got any hints or ideas, I'd appreciate it. If I'm wrong, tell me. I'm hopefully not the only one having trouble with this.

Beacon bandwidth allocation requirements 6 years ago

I'm trying to figure out how much bandwidth a beacon takes up, because I don't remember the tutorial mentioning this. Sometimes it takes up 10, sometimes it takes up 20, and you don't find out until you've placed the actual beacon from what I can tell.

Now, am I right in assuming that the "price" in bandwidth goes up by 10 for each subsequent active beacon? Not for all of them of course, I mean the first one will cost 10, next one will take up 20 and so forth. 

If so, I'm wondering if there's a bug with that mechanic in that the bandwidth requirements aren't automatically adjusted on your remaining active beacons if you remove one of your earlier acquired beacons. 

For instance, let's say I make a beacon on a special node and it takes up 10 bandwidth. I then make another beacon on another special node that takes up 20 bandwidth. Being the early game, I'm now very short on bandwidth and need to remove one of them to get some bandwidth back, but I prefer keeping the second beacon that takes up 20, so I remove the one from the first special node that takes up 10. But the other one still takes up 20 even though it's the only one left. I eventually think "I have enough bandwidth now for a second beacon" and make a beacon on the special node I initially made the first beacon on which only needed 10 bandwidth, but this new one takes up 20, and so now I have two beacons both taking up 20 bandwidth.

More Galaxy options in the game menus 6 years ago

Hi, I am wondering if the development team is looking to add more options for the generated maps like they do in Endless Legends 

Options that may include a random number of consolations, random consolation size, random galaxy shapes which that have their entire shapes hidden when in fog and slowly revealed as you explore deeper into the galaxy. Opening up more options for the players to enjoy and explore the galaxy would be beneficial to the longevity of the game.

Experienced player lost in the penumbra. 6 years ago

I have been playing Endless Space 2 since early access, I love the game as well as the universe in fact it was the original that introduced me to 4x  and turn based strategy. Steam states that I have played 380 hours of gameplay and I suspect that it may even be more, remembering the dark days of not having a good Internet connection at my old house. Anyway for the life of me I can't fathom the hacking mechanics it seems complicated like I would imagine real hacking is. As has been previously stated the tutorial is pretty woeful, would anyone be kind enough to share a link where there is an decent explanation of the new hacking mechanics? Thank you

How to tell if cloaked ships have been revealed? 6 years ago

So I'm about 100 turns into my first game at the Umbral Chior (mind you I just bought the game about 4 days ago. So far I freaking love it) and I'm a bit annoyed with the cloaked mechanics.

Only a few turns ago did I finally discover where I can tell if a system is undected, which is super helpful. However I cannot for the life of me figure out how to tell that with ships.

Is there any kind of indication to tell you if other players can see your ships? Or at the very least to tell you if enemy ships have detectors?

It seems really unfair to make it so you have no way to tell if your ships can be seen or not. Especially since you CAN tell with your systems.

Ground Combat Bug? 6 years ago

This is what it shows (its in Spanish): I cant see numbers of the enemy forces, according to this both my troops and foes are Blitzs, and some of the text is bugged as well.

Then I get the screen that says that the pirate base has been destroyed, but it is still there.

Economy Scan View bug? 6 years ago

Hello,

I'm not sure if this has been reported, but I recently picked up the game again and it seems the "Economy View" that you can access by zooming out in the general galaxy view and press the Scan button it not working properly. After zooming out from the "System Scan" view, it should go into the "Economy View" but it does not display the appropriate information. It seems its just "copying" the "Trade Scan" view (accessed by continuying to zoom out) as if it just skips that economic view screen. 

I assume this is a bug, correct? Or am I missing something? I remember having access to this view in which I could get a summaried information through these pixelated areas representing FIDS.

Discovering sleeper agents 6 years ago

So I'm starting to just now realise that you can uncover sleeper agents on your system from traces, but I'm not sure what it is about the trace that uncovers a sleeper, or when, for that matter.

Any insight on uncovering sleepers would be appreciated. Up until this point I figured it was pointless to try and place sleepers on enemy systems, but maybe I'm just being a bad spy boss and accidentally reveal all of my spies to the enemy.

In the shadows, Riftborn sanctuary bug. 6 years ago

I have come across a bug with custom factions, it seems if you have the Riftborn visual affinity, and the In the shadows gameplay affinity. when you try to populate the sanctuaries by constructing populations, it does not populate the sanctuaries making them incompatible which is a shame cause I was so excited to combo the two together. I had used a minor population to fix this but after a patch now it tells me In the shadows in the incompatible with minor civilizations. 

Is this intentional? or something to be fixed?

MODs Combination Compatibility/Order Notification or Reminder 6 years ago

Greetings.

I just would like to know if Is it possible to discern which mods are compatible/not compatible to avoid encountering errors, hooked load screen. Can ther be a compatability icon/reminder/notification or something of the sort as you tick mods at the mod selection screen found on main menu screen, that guides any preferred mod in an order that both compatible and less stable unlike previously before?

This is on the notion that various similar mods, say a trait mods may not be compatible with each other as previously assumed, or other mods are different but have negative effect. I have recently noticed the mod combinations that I've used previously now get me stuck in loading screen for hours until game crashes or indefinitely loading, its as if they are no longer capable with each other.

Forgive me I'm not an expert in mod creation, I can only assume how arduous it must be to make and design one. I only mean to point out an suggestive idea.

I appreciate any feedback on this.

Which name for which Sophons in the triumvirate ? 6 years ago

Hi,

Are there any kind Devs out there who can help me with this?

Sophons Protector Ship 5 modules bug 6 years ago

Hi there,

I am noticing that the Sophons currently have only 5 slots for their unupgraded protector ship. However, once upgraded, 3 Hyperium modules are added along with 1 non-Hyperium module. 

Is this intentional? Since most other factions' protector ships have 6 modules (apart from Horatio), I feel that this may be a bug and it should be 6 modules unupgraded, adding 3 Hyperium module after upgrade (as the technology says add additional Hyperium modules, not non-Hyperium modules)

Thank you in advance devs!

How is inflation calculated 6 years ago

Hi,

Just as title says. I know how inflation works, but as I have no skill looking int .xml files and akin, two questions:

- How is inflation value calculated?

- Which dust is taken into account for it? (to be more specific: the one you produce from systems, produce from trade, get from selling things into market, afaik not all dust is computed)

Thanks!

Tracing status and speed patch 1.4.12 6 years ago

I cannot for the life of me figure out where the change described in patch 1.4.12 is shown in-game - quote: "Trace status and speed are now displayed in the tooltips of trace operations".

All I can find is that a trace startet X amount of turns ago from A towards B, but that isn't new AFAIK.

The game crashes on startup 6 years ago

Entering the game from steam, crashes when running here, the game crashes and returns directly to the desktop, and there are no pop-up tips.

I did what I could do, but I can't find the source of the problem, please help me, thank you.

Same appearance for ES2 Vodyani and Civilization-BE "Supremacy" affinity? 6 years ago

For example:

Endless Space 2 Badge Progress Issue 6 years ago

Hi!

So, I've linked my Steam Account with my Games2Gether account (They have been linked for a while but I have re-linked them to perhaps help refresh) and I am still not gaining the Badge Progress for owning the Vaulters DLC. You can find my Steam Account: Geddim Wet Shaggy . I own the DLC for this requirement.

This is the last badge needed for a 100% Badge on Endless Space 2, so I would love for this to be fixed if it could be :)

FLAC files for the soundtrack 6 years ago

Hi,

I was wondering whether there was a way to get FLAC files of the surround version of the OST. They are downloaded in WMA (instead of MP3 for the stereo version), which my audio player does not support. Being able to get them in a lossless version would be great so I don't have to worry about losing quality converting the WMA files.

Mod keeps disabling 5 years ago

I'm sorry if this question has already been asked before. I have a mod that adds additional player colors to choose from. I have to re-enable the mod every time the game loads up, which leads to another loading screen. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Or is there a reason why this is happening that can be prevented?

Bug report 5 years ago

The multiplayer game of 4 ( 2 pax and 2 AI) has changed the Vaulters race to Sophons in the menu, after a few desyncs , but not in game.

Weird :/

Fleet cap reduced 5 years ago

Loaded my Riftborn game today and went to add ships to my fleets to find out my fleet cp cap had been reduced from 24 to 21.  The fleet cp techs are unlocked, and one of the fleets already has 24 cp in it (displayed as 24/21 in red).  Any ideas on what caused the 3cp reduction between play sessions?

Mono Framework 5 years ago

Hello,

After the latest Endless Space 2 update I can no longer play the game without installing Mono Framework.

Why is this? I read somewhere that this is part of Unity? I've never had this issue playing the game before, why does this prompt and install requirement appear after the latest update?

Thank you for your help in clarifying things.

No sound after installing Awakening DLC 5 years ago

I bought the Awakening DLC and my game now has no sound (yes, the sound is on the game, I have the latest drivers etc... it works with other games and YouTube it is specific to the game). I tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling only to find out that without this DLC the sound works fine.

Can someone help me? It sucks playing without sound :(

Video/Movie issues 5 years ago

Hey Guys,

So, I've been having this issue with the movie files playing properly during gameplay. They seem to be corrupted or desynced. I'm not sure. Eitherway it has been annoying to the point of not playing. I have verified the file integrity through Steam, Uninstalled and Reinstalled, confirmed that the default player is windows media player and not VLC. I even checked the individual videos in the folder and tested in both VLC and WMP, and everything played fine. So I'm kinda at a loss. Anyone got any suggestions?

How to reduce background intensity for galaxy picture? 5 years ago

While gorgeous, I find the galaxy background distracting an anoying, as in my opinion it's too bright and makes it harder to see some of the elements I consider much more important.

Having started playing again after the new DLC it was the first thing I noticed again.

Is there any way to either darken the background image, or, if that's not possible maybe remove it entirely? I'm happy to hack my XML files, but I've not managed to find a place where I might change the background.

Any help/advice appreciated.

Hissho unplayable after last patch 5 years ago

FIDSI malus from Resource Recoverers now applies on ALL systems and not only main system. 

that pretty much kills the Hissho IMHO. There is no way they can hold more than a handful of systems or the malus kills their FIDSI, especially Food. You would have to play them ultra-tall and utilize miners heavily I guess. Going Republic and hope for a bunch of Militarist heros can help a bit, but it's silly if this would be the only way to play them besides ultra-tall.

They feel unplayable to me right now. Or what am I missing? How am I supposed to play them after the last patch? 

Notification Pop Ups: Declared War / Development Grants 5 years ago

There are a few things in game that I'd like to be notified about, but I'm wondering if they exist as an option:

- When an AI faction declares war on another AI faction. Or any diplomatic change for that matter

- When my boost to a minor faction ends (I believe they are called development grants). There is no in game timer, and I just have to periodically check if its still active.

Does some mechanic exist to be notified of these when it happens? Thanks.

The Default Religious Law and Auto Siege 5 years ago

Is it intentional that when you have Religious as your Leading politcal party you automatically siege any system that is not at Peace with you? I find that to be really frustrating because it leads to diplomatic situations where you end up upsetting an AI faction when you had no intention of being aggressive. Most commonly, my explorers are orbiting a system only to harvest the curiousities, but because they have a starting weapon module, they will auto siege the AI (when Religious) and tick them off. Is there anyway to not auto siege just because you are in Cold War and have the default Religious law, other than to remove all weapon modules from your explorers? I can't imagine this is deliberate by design.

In the shadows/riftborn Custom faction bug? 5 years ago

So have some problems with the custom faction combination, of the gameplay affinity called in the shadows and the visual affinity Riftborn, when i go ingame with this combo, and i hack a system, and i have got a base, i cant rememer the name but the thing the umbral chior can place instead of a base, and i have max pop cap in my system, and i want my home system to make population on the new base, then i press the send new pop to the other base, i toggle that, and then i place a riftborn pop in the queue to be made, then i end the turn, and it has been made, but it has not been sent to the other base. is there a fix to this, i really like to play that custom faction.

Stealth mechanic not entirely dependent on Anti-Cloaking Tech/Traits? 5 years ago

As the title suggests, I don't fully understand the stealth mechanics. I've searched around the forums and google, and it seems I am the only one experiencing this. It is possible that mods are to blame, however, I don't believe any of them touch the stealth mechanic.

I have been using the "Ghost" trait for a several custom factions and it doesn't always work. On multiple occassions I have encountered enemy fleets which have no active anti-cloaking tech, hero perks, or system probes, who are still able to de-cloak any level of cloaking tech. I have been able to confirm this, without a doubt, using modding tools and assessing the enemy factions techs, the fleet, and so forth. 

This tends to become less likely in certain portions of the game, perhaps as levels of stealth tech go up, but isn't consistent. The only consistency seems to be that the enemy fleet is larger than mine, parked, guarding the star system, and I have directed my fleet to stop moving in that specific system (as in not passing through to another node). The same has never been true for my fleets, although, the moment I notice there are cloaked enemies I tend to adapt and use anti-cloaking of my own.

My question is this: Is this an intended mechanic? The fact that it always seems to happen in the same scenario has me thinking it is, but I have yet to see any info confirming this. I don't really have anything to add to that. I just want to know I'm not losing my shit. Lol. 

Thanks to anyone willing and able to answer this for me!

I was hoping to hop back into some endless space with the new dlc's. However I keep running into an issue where the game screen freezes whenever I click on the diplomacy screen. This will happen when I use the hot key aswell. What can I do to resolve this issue? Is this a know bug with a solution? Would it be a good idea to attempt to repair the game through steam or redownload endless space 2?

I have to Re-Download the game for no reason 5 years ago

Thanks for any help provided and sorry for my english.

FPS/Audio Stutters 5 years ago

I bought this game recently and have not been able to play and enjoy it due to constant audio and fps stuttering. It occurs about every 5-10 seconds. I've tried every fix I can think of as well as every fix/tip I could find by googling, and nothing fixes the problem. My computer is well above capable to run this game so there shouldn't be these problems. I'm running a Ryzen 5 1600 CPU, an RX 580 GPU, 16 gig DDR4 RAM, and the newest update of Windows 10. Uninstalling and re-installing drivers didn't work, changing and updating to different versions of Windows 10 didn't work, using different launch options in Steam didn't work, setting process priority and allocating different combinations of CPU cores to the game didn't work, uninstalling and reinstalling the entire game didn't work, and verifying the game files in Steam didn't work. Neither did simpler fixes like lowering graphics settings or running the game as an administrator. I'm extraordinarily unhappy that my money has apparently been wasted on a game I cannot play. Has anyone had this problem and actually been able to fix it? I've seen many threads online with similar problems but most of them appear unresolved.

Where is DLC: Digital deluxe edition/Pathfinders for Endless space 2? 5 years ago

Good time of day. 

I wanted to take advantage of the winter sale of Steam-I wanted to collect almost a full set of DLC (with the exception of Awakening). But add-ons Digital deluxe / pathfinders not in the pack, not on the page of the game - it is not. Although it was not so long ago. And its existence is hinted at, as G2G, with its reward system, and the ES2 page itself on Steam. 

In General, if someone knows where the Deluxe edition-let him throw the link. I'll be grateful.

P.S. I do not pull on the title of linguist, but still, it seems to me that in a special offer on the page ES2, which says about G2G-words in Russian are not quite the right form, namely: "Зачислять; Получать бесплатные награды!" can be changed in "Зачислить; И получить бесплатные награды". But it is better to replace "Зачислять".

With the text below-you can do nothing, but the feeling of machine translation is still there.

Endless space 2 Wiki-Update 5 years ago

Hello, as a very casual player I really enjoy playing story based games. With that said I would certainly like to see the Endless space 2 Wiki page update regularly, or atleast more often.

This may not be Priority 1 but it would still be awsome to be able to look at the other Heros in the Academy section that aren´t added just yet, the same with the 3 DLC factions (they are missiong aswell) and maybe the other wallpapers would be cool to be able to access them from the last Tab in the ES2 Wiki.

Thanks.
