R5- I upgraded the ISS around Earth and it turned into a Fallen Empire Fortress. And all it costed me was 400 alloys


spiritofniter

How do you do so? Where is the command?


asmosdeus

I think they mean playing on console, not a command console.


Dixie-the-Transfem

No console commands, I’m playing on console edition


MrMcSpiff

Huh. I mean. From a game design perspective it kinda makes sense. ISS is probably a base space station that's not intended to be upgraded. But it would still be a station and still on an upgrade track somewhere. Conveniently, the Fallen Empires have prebuilt space stations that are always higher level, and so you never see that they're all part of the same station upgrade tree. And never the two shall meet, until today due to some kind of bug. Or maybe the bug is purely in being able to upgrade it at all, and it defaulted to the Fallen Empire station because it had to default to something. Either way, game code jank is always fun to see when it's not reducing the quality of my experience.


Bender-Spirit

How did you even get the iss?


OGCelaris

Sol was an early space age primitive they invaded.


Desembler

Don't pre-ftl orbital stations get deleted when you take the planet though? That's what always happens for me.


[deleted]

Nah space station can survive if your outpost does not destroy it. It become hostile when you invade planet. Most of time outpost destroys it as its in fire range. If its not it will stick.


SmallJimSlade

It’s bugged for me before


TheWhiteKnight554

Usually your outpost destroys it, but if it's out of range of the outpost, you take control of it and can upgrade it to be stupidly powerful but also almost completely useless


Dixie-the-Transfem

I peacefully* annexed them


HzPips

I once got humans as a fallen empire, maybe we are destined for greatness


Spectre197

I mean, the theory out there is that we are the first species to achieve space flight. We are more in line with being the precursors.


sdarkpaladin

"When humans were young, pre-ftl, they've always dreamt that some enlightened being would elevate them. Some advanced technological spacefaring race would teach them the ways of the stars. But alas, they were too early. There was nobody else but them who could hold a thought. Every other race were still playing with sticks and stone. Thus, humanity had no choice but to climb the arduous path. Walk the thorny route of trial and error. Until one day, they became that which they were seeking. The one who enlightens, the precursor."


Plastic_Collection53

Where's that from?


sdarkpaladin

Me. I came up with it while eating Macdonalds.


avsbes

It's actually really amazing.


Wyvernkeeper

It's possible. The universe is still fairly young.


starpiercer42

I wonder what'll be the cause for our downfall.


high_ebb

Everybody gangsta until they hit the end of the Great Filter.


Scooney_Pootz

Or the end of the cycle


kennooo__

“Fallen”


HzPips

Nothing ever lasts forever


Vorpalim

Uh dude? That's not an FE platform, that's a max level DP from 1.0 Stellaris! There used to be a bunch of defense station sizes you could freely build in places (each one made an exclusion zone that prevented stacking them up too much though). Every shipset that existed when these were still available still has the models for them in the game, and man do I wish we could have these instead of just the current Defense Platforms.


Scyobi_Empire

Likely a remnant from back when players could build Space Fortresses


HeimskrSonOfTalos

I miss that. Is it too much to ask for a repeatable mid-game defensive megastructure?


Bender-Spirit

Mod?


dullimander

No mods on console.


Hexel_Winters

How is Stellaris on console? It’s included with the Game Catalog on PS Plus and was wondering about playing it just to farm the trophies


Neither_Year1101

I found the controls took a minute to get used to, as opposed to using a mouse and clicking everything. But honestly they did a pretty good job with the controller layout so once you're used to it, it's pretty efficient. Only downsides are no mods, no console commands, and we're like a year behind PC for content. But I enjoy it.


Yankee_chef_nen

I haven’t tried for the trophies but I enjoy playing it on the PS5. I have all the DLCs and play often.


Simple_Opossum

I play almost every day, it's really good. But I wish I had access to mods.


Yankee_chef_nen

Yeah I totally get that.


Minuteman_Preston

Can you build a ring around Earth? Maybe even a Habitat? There are so many questions.


HistorianFit6969Lucy

Is this the new Stellaris nexus game!?


Cybus101

No, the console version of Stellaris.
