Stellaris Do The Unbidden Ignore FTL Inhibitors?

WIth the release of Stellaris Lem we have seen many changes. One change that I think has been overlooked is a change to the power of the Unbidden. Something has changed with the Unbidden and FTL Inhibitors.

Lets find out what is going on!

And here I was believing that the Unbidden finally figured out how to use their own Jump Drives

[Kuripants]

My last game they spawned in the L-Cluster. *MY* L-Cluster.

[junkyardemperor]

Don't think it will matter much in the end. Long as you remembered to build your fleets they can be beaten

Now, if Paradox could make them actually use their jump drives, now that would be a nightmare to deal with

[staticwanderer]

I noticed that Titan AE reference at 0:28! Glad I am not the only one to remember it.

Also Stellaris needs more energy beings.

[Nosferaturules]

I saw the livestream where you discovered this. Fun times!

i had reported this as a bug on paradox forums, i got this respons from MonzUn a developer: My solution to the AI getting stuck when it would have been forced to path through FTL inhibitors that belong to an empire that is not the nemesis was to have it ignore FTL inhibitors (along with a few more pathfinding tweaks). This is only while resolving pathfinding though and in my tests the fleets did properly engage and destroy the station in each system before moving on. The idea was that the crisis would go for their nemesis no matter what and just smash anything in their way to get there, but I see how this can be problematic with planetary FTL inhibitors.

so, don't seem 100% intentional.

[whitedeath]

Ahahaha watch them sneak in another patch that lets the contingency control/ summon the grey tempest just to really amp up the crisis

[spacemanc]

That Nute Gunray line from attack of the clones is one of my favourite from the whole series!

[MatthewChenault]

The Unbidden: *Appears.*

Me, having well over 700k fleet power: _Insert Battlefleet Gothic: Armada music here._

[rheinbewachen]

I don’t know why but I imagine a person who didn’t plan for the unbidden furiously trying to figure out what to do as the unbidden charge through the player’s systems.

[Aptianedicts]

You can also use gateways that the unbidden control. I haven't observed them using any gateways (apart from l-gates)

[grahamturner]

Did any of the other end-game crises have new abilities?

[derricktsai]

Oh shit, they can ignore the FTL inhibitors now? I guess I'm glad gateway is still safe. Unbidden is definitely still the hardest crisis for me yet.

[grigoriochernyshov]

yes they do. I was quite suprised when this glowing mess just walked their way through my territory with density of fortress habitats per star >2. Felt myself like Im HOI4 stupid Reich bot and I am being paratrooped by sneaky luxemburg or tannu-tuva player.

[CalamitasCalliope]

I really like the they are starting to make each Crisis more and more unique. The Scourge hit one area of the galaxy and invade planets to spread. The Contingency does more guerilla Warfare, spawning in multiple areas around the galaxy and weakening your robots, and the Unbidden is more of a mad dash for your more important systems to bring you down in one quick strike. I hope they lean more and more into this and when the AI update is released they will give each crisis a unique AI prioritization system

[hulmhochberg]

hey montu are desintegrators and other crisis weapons worth it?
and not just on meta battleships, but mixed fleets with cruisers and stuff?
ty

[jimbo]

I use the citizen service civic so all my worlds are fortress worlds lol

[AndrejD]

Unbidden when they spawn to my game: Navigation set the shortest route to players capital through L gate...

[zotaninoron]

As always, the best defense against the unbidden is to park a bait fleet in a pulsar system along or next to the unbidden attack corridor into your systems and ambush them there. ;D

[mezarisage]

Given that last time they appeared I stomped them before they even made it out of the first system, I'm not too worried
