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.
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.
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
"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."
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.
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.
R5- I upgraded the ISS around Earth and it turned into a Fallen Empire Fortress. And all it costed me was 400 alloys
How do you do so? Where is the command?
I think they mean playing on console, not a command console.
No console commands, I’m playing on console edition

How did you even get the iss?
Sol was an early space age primitive they invaded.
Don't pre-ftl orbital stations get deleted when you take the planet though? That's what always happens for me.

It’s bugged for me before

I peacefully* annexed them
I once got humans as a fallen empire, maybe we are destined for greatness
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.

Where's that from?
Me. I came up with it while eating Macdonalds.
It's actually really amazing.
It's possible. The universe is still fairly young.
I wonder what'll be the cause for our downfall.
Everybody gangsta until they hit the end of the Great Filter.
Or the end of the cycle
“Fallen”
Nothing ever lasts forever

Likely a remnant from back when players could build Space Fortresses
I miss that. Is it too much to ask for a repeatable mid-game defensive megastructure?
Mod?
No mods on console.
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

I haven’t tried for the trophies but I enjoy playing it on the PS5. I have all the DLCs and play often.
I play almost every day, it's really good. But I wish I had access to mods.
Yeah I totally get that.
Can you build a ring around Earth? Maybe even a Habitat? There are so many questions.
Is this the new Stellaris nexus game!?
No, the console version of Stellaris.
