Stellaris 2.0 - First Hour - Thoughts & Impressions

Solemn Salmon dives straight into Stellaris 2.0, exploring the brand new features introduced in the Cherryh Update and the Apocalypse DLC. Recording the first hour of gameplay, we check out a natural wormhole, claiming new systems, and blowing up some xeno scum.

As this is very much a stream of consciousness video, rather than a polished production, there's also time for a quick discussion about the channel - getting to 1000 subs, and what's next.

Keep up the good work. I'm a newbie, started when I got it from humble bundle few weeks back. Got a little bit or knowledge (dangerous, I know!) then it all went out the window on Thursday!

Been watching Hadrian's lp series which is ace but not quite so noob friendly as I need. Aspec is good too (maybe needs some decaff now and again!).

I'm subscribed and looking forward to the new vids. Keep em coming bro

0.75x hyperlane density seems the best setting, makes for some nice chokepoints without being a total labyrinth

I’d like to see a tutorial on the Fleet Manager.

I’ve played since 1.0, and read all dev diaries etc, but there are a few things that confuse me with the Fleet Manager.

I had to stop playing this game when it came out because the text is WAY too small on my monitor. Is there an option in the game finally to increase the UI size?

Hey salmon, what's your favorite go to civ to play as? Also I would love to watch multiplayer games!

Cherryh has really reinvigorated the game for me, I feel young again. :P Been playing fanatic egalitarian with the parliamentary system. The democratic influence spam feels really powerful now both because of empire wide edicts and the rapid expansion it enables.

Scientist adviser Sexus Coitus, at your service Ma'am!

ever plan on making a discord server or something like that in the future?

I feel like the game has lost a lot of speed, the pace i mean. Since you have to build star bases for borders and now to colonize you need a space station there as well. and the science ships are the only explorers at the start.
