      Oh yes, the game where I say “This time I will build tall and focus on diplomacy and alliance building”, before it inevitably devolves into science rush into a military buildup to carry out a century-long xenophopic extermination campaign to rid the galaxy of the alien race who wronged me.

        That’s the great thing about the latest update, you can genuinely stay in your corner and be peaceful and when that criminal syndicate on the other side of the galaxy wrongs you, you can just infiltrate the governments of the empires with the strongest militaries to goad them into a proxy war against that criminal syndicate.

        Though as someone chronically bad at being evil in stellaris I usually end up just using it to make everyone focuse the crisis aspirants before they can snowball.

    Well you should not have chewed up my power plant when I got here and I would have built my rocket and been on my way. It was your choice to run into my wall and get roasted by the flame thrower turret.

      Yeah, the giant cloud of pollution choking your people is entirely a coincidence what the fuck guys

        They can move into pollution free zones. Not my fault that the bugs are lazy and can’t pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I’ve got an industry to run!

        If the pollution bothered them so much, why do they building nests in it? That sounds like their problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    The bugs always attack first in my worlds and they never stop. They virtually force me to send them into extension as a matter of self preservation.

    Look I’m not proud of it but I did what I had to survive. I swear I switched to clean energy, stuffed green productivity chips in everything, and stopped my territory expansion after the continent was secured. That’s more consideration than they deserve if I’m honest they’re a bunch of savage bugs that probably don’t even have a hive mind let alone sentience.
