Patch 1.4 is live now:

Patchnotes here: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/patch-1-4-0-full-patchnotes.986584/

or in here:+ Show Spoiler +
##############################################################
####################### VERSION 1.4.0 ########################
##############################################################

###################
# Leviathans Story Pack
###################
* Added new introduction event for the Artisan Troupe
* Added encounter event for the Enigmatic Fortress

###################
# Features
###################
* Added 33 new achievements
* No longer possible to build robots on planets belonging to sectors
* Added victory event after defeating the Prethoryn Scourge
* Added new events for discovering additional Precursor anomalies, so that the quest chains can always be completed
* Changed the way the Extradimensionals work: Instead of spawning reinforcements as soon as a fleet is lost, the Extradimensional portal will create new fleets at a fixed rate depending on the number of dimensional anchors the Extradimensionals have placed in the galaxy. Dimensional anchors are a type of station that the Extradimensionals construct, and their main portal is invincible while any dimensional anchors exist in the galaxy. This should make the war against the Extradimensionals more of a long-term fight and less of a surgical strike against the portal.

My most recent campaign was pretty strange. With default settings but clustered spawns and advanced empires turned of, I had half of a spiral galaxy arm all by myself. It took me 45-something years before I encountered something other than primitives

1.4 is looking good. Also, a free DLC a bit later today. The reason for the delay is probably because the DLC has 1.4 as a requirement

Played it a bit now, feels quite good so far. Although I have not gotten the new DLC to fire off events yet.
Also this makes me really interested in 1.5:

Interesting they make factions much more important with the bonuses for their happiness. Making caring about them somewhat relevant, perhaps even having many of them for a lot of bonuses instead of just wanting one that is easy to keep happy.

After reading on the Paradox forum, the new free DLC event has a 1/200 chance to fire when a science ship enters a system with a black hole. And that is every time it enters a black-hole system, not just the first time.

If you are playing with wormhole as your FTL method, you can also build a wormhole station in that system so that science ships uses it even when do their other things

After trying the different FTL methods, I found that I've actually like wormholes the most as long as you aren't trying to conquer everyone ASAP.

Any nonobvious redpill grand truth of this game? Like what's the powerful strategical goal you shoot for to win the game?

I just enjoy playing hyperlanes only galaxies as it kind off gives you a bit more of a strategic element what would have been terrain in other paradox titles

If you limit to hyperlanes then yes it adds a strategic element but if all are allowed it can gives you a disadvantage if someone else jumps past your fleet and you have to take a bad route to catch up.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

I stick to warp drive since it is the easiest switch towards the lategame drives. The AI also derps less with warp drives.

AI behaved weird in general though for me, after the dlc. Threw away their ships constantly, so they never recovered if their main fleet got beaten, which made the game a lil boring. But it seems fixed in this update, so should probably try another round.

Paradox and Firaxis really likes to borrow mechanics from each other lately it seems. Not that I'm complaining though, I think this will be a good addition with 1.5

Seems like a good addition especially considering the changes to ethics we are getting. Little concrete information, but they did say that 1.5 is still quite a while away so I guess one should not be too nitpicky

Yeah, it looks like 1.5 is quite a bit away. If I were to guess, I would say that it will come out in early spring or around that time.

On another note, I was at Paradox's Fan Gathering two weeks ago (actually at their offices) and I had a chance to chat a bit with Rikard Åslund (The project lead for Stellaris). And apparently he became project lead because the previous one jumped off mid-development (don't remember any more details on who/why/etc), and Rikard moved in to fill that hole. And he was going to leave the Stellaris team after the game had shipped but later decided to stay.

Well, there is still no reason why the A.I. is such bad and unfun.
Boosting the A.I. on hard and very hard with 50%/100% production boni will not make the game harder, as the A.I. is still too stupid to wage wars, to use opportunities, to forge usefull alliances or just to fight a war with something called strategie or tactic.

The A.I. Mods like enhanced A.I. do the work, at least to a certain degree mods can turn it, but there is still no way that Pdox cant just buy the mod (or hire the modder) and at least get a new starting line for its A.I., because thats the thing that kills the fun once you established your empire arround year 2275-2300. The rest of the game just becames grind. Stupid grind, declare war, take some planets, wait 10 years, continue on.

The biggest problem, the bad economy model and very very bad art of war in stellaris are not even mentioned yet by the developers. I cant understand how they add things like this new system in 1.5. while there are major flaws in the core mechanics.
Every war is exactly the same, against the A.I. 100% of time, against other players 90% of time: Group all ships in one fleet, if your military powers is larger then your enemy, find his fleet, kill it. If it is smaller, hide your fleet till you produced enough ships so your fleet is larger/better and then look for the fight. If you fight multiple enemys, destroy one fleet after another, start with the smallest enemies. (Your planets got taken? Thanks for giving me more time) Only in a very small case (rare PvP games), it can be usefull to use smaller fleets to snipe off space ports so his fleet costs him more.
This whole war mechanic makes Stellaris wars dull and boring, while it could be changed so easy: Reintroduce Stacking Panelty, the more levels your Admiral got, the bigger fleet he can command in a battle. Fleets over the command limit will act unorganised in combat with a growing debuff the more you go over command limit. Other changes need a change in economy first:

The economy is also boring, the exponential growth is so fast in Stellaris, that arround 100 years after start you can get up to 500-1000 minerals per month making you spit out ships fast enough to always use your full potenital fleet amount or even more. In the late game, you can be over 2.5k per month while having a fleetpower of 1500-2000. Following this, sizing individual planets, does not matter anymore in a war. Your enemy invaded 5-7 planets, while you destroyed 3 out of 4 fleets of the enemy federation? Well you still got 200 minerals per month, yeah energy is a problem, so lets stop all research academies for some time and its fine again. Then kick the last empire, retake all planets and boom. While taking planets is super easy (defending them is just not worth it if you cant kill the enemy empire's fleet with it), it does not hurt your an empire once it is at +20 planets, even if it his homeworld. Individual colonies, especially the homeworld, just become one of the many you got in the later midgame turning war into a shitfest where even the most important place of your empire, your homeworld, is not a point you defend aslong as you can crush other fleets during that time or increase your own.
Following this, the economy needs to change. First it needs to be slowed down. The expansional growth is normal for the economy, but it spirals way to fast out of control in Stellaris. The rapid increase in income reduces the importance of every planet and station very fast. Then the homeworld needs to be massivle buffed to eager it out. The homeworld should be the very center of your empire, the culturel, the scientifc and the economical one. If and enemy attacks your homeworld, you should feel high pressure to defend. Not that you lose the war instant, but much more then at the very moment. On the other hand, invasions need to be much harder, so that its a heavy commitment to launch an invasion fleet. A way forward would be changing ground combat completly:
After bringing in your (expensive) invasion fleet, first you decide what to bomb: Everything, major military operation theaters, only confirmed military objects, nothing. The bombardment will soft the defenders, but not like at the moment, where full bombardments give *100% attack damage, thats just way too much. These bombardments will not only destroy certain buildings on the planets surface, but also will determine the attitude of the people if you conquer this planet and annex it. Then you decide where to invade:
Outside of the cities (only small landing losses) or direct space to ground combat invasion (landing in cities, much faster battle but much heavier causalities) while the landing outside of the city can lead to a years taking siege with ongoing causalities. The garrision of planets should be much stronger, in military emperies every pop should form at least one defence army just because he exists and also additional "militas" can be produced even when the planet is blocked or there is a siege going on on the surface. If a liberation fleet form the defender comes to help the planet, while the blockade fleet of the attacker moved somewhere else, the attacker's army sieging the planet could be wiped out completly by bombing (if the fleet is strong and large enough). Following these changes, invasions would take much longer and costing more (or being even much more deadlier for the attacker and short like the current ones) while it would be much more worth to conquer the home world of an empire or one of their core colonies.
Togeather with a slower economic growth (+ more important homeworld and core colonies) and the stacking panalty, maybe we wouldnt see the doomsday stack fleets attacking each other and then end of war but ongoing fleet interactions at various fronts at the same time.

Other changes are political. It is good that we finally get different loyality factions and thats a good change by Pdox. But there is still alot missing, when it comes to unloyal pops and factions. These are at the moment not worth being in the game, just as defensive pacts. They just eat influence while not influencing your gameplay in a fun way. My tip would be to add a new value, "Empire Enforcment" ( in %). Each system has another value of empire enforcment, which gets increased by loyal pops in the system (if the system has a colonized planet), fleets/army in the system, military stations and outposts in the system. Loyal pops and non allied military in the system will decrease the value. Nearby systems influence each other, for example, if you conquored another empire and leave their systems without ongoing military representation, even the systems without colonized planets (and disloyal pops) will have a very low empire enforment value. Low empire enforcment value turn your systems "evil" after a time. Resource stations can first start striking (selling their earnings on the black market) and finally could become pirate stations. You have to send law enforment (military) to get them back to work. Whole planets can turn away from you, just like in the current rebellious system, but with much harder consequenses: Rebellious fleets will spawn with an uprising ( people upgrading cargo ships with weapongs), the uprisings will generally be stronger and you will have a harder time to defend them. Rebellions in your empire can make your loyal pops unhappy and finally disloyal (let them fucking go faction, pretty much how alot of asymethric wars have been won on earth).

And last but not least, supply and comercial ships. To make the new pirates usefull (the now ingame ones are not, and my proposed ones are not really) we introduce comercial trading ships and supply ships. Now resources get moved by trading ships automatically from place to place. When you start building a battleship above your homeworld, you need to get resources there from the places you save them. And these places are filled up by civilian trade ships. Pirates can attack them and reduce your income. On top of this, your fleet needs resources to. Instead of beaming them to the fleets, supply ships (in convoys) will send these supplies to your fleets. They will take the supplies out of your depots that are located on planets or in the orbital resource depots you can build. Attack these supply convoys is possible and should be encurraged to give better wars. Fleets without supplies cant move and will starve out after longer time. Supply routes cant be infinite long, you will have to set up military supply stations within enemy territory to supply our fleet deep in enemy lines. When you want to wage an invasion against the enemies core worlds, you will be vulnerable to trade interdiction and supply interdiction. Without saving your back lines and supply lines, you could lose your entire fleet to an much weaker, but more intelligent enemy.

All in all, these are 3 changes that could be force into 3 DLCs, 1.Political, 2. Economical, 3.War. These would make Stellaris much greater, togeather with an A.I. that can spell its name.

In regards to combat, how will that prevent players from simply having one fleet following another? This happened in one of my campaign where I was playing with Wormhole, but my captured Automated Dreadnaught was using Warp (they hot-fixed this rather quickly so that it uses your empire's FTL method) so I just set it to follow my main fleet. Aside from not being able to enter orbit it didn't really change anything. Personally, I would prefer some way to encourage the player to use smaller fleets instead of punishing large ones.

In regards to economy, I feel that every strategy game; in one way or another; has the potential of creating a "critical mass" with the economy. In EU4 before they revamped the buildings, once you get tax/production/trade buildings rolling in your empire, you could easily build every building in all of your provinces and still have ducats to spare. The big limiter then was manpower and AE. Yes the economy can snowball, but how do you balance that vs. nerfing the early game to hard,

What I kinda dislike so far is that, being a DW: universe player, there are no civil ships cruising around with cargo. I just slap mining stations wherever I can and automatically get the resource. In DW you actually had to look after your logistics by protecting the transports from the numerous pirates and providing the right designs for the ships, which then the civil sector would automatically build, amount depending on the taxation you imposed.

You even have to design mining stations correctly as they are also your refuelling stations. And not enough cargo space, docking bays or mining capacity would lead to fleets not being able to refuel efficiently.
