About "The Messenger" event

[Luftwaffle]

So, in the messenger event, I was just wondering what will happen if the scientist modifies my whole species, who has already gone through the synthetic ascension. Will they lose their synthetic trait?

[Shahadem]

My Psychic species didn't lose their Psychic trait. My immortal queen goddess was still an immortal queen goddess. Of course the game says that she should be an actual super powerful deity but she has ZERO super powers. She can't kill enemy ships or populations with her mind, she can't read the minds of her many enemies, she can't do anything special.

At least in Sins of a Solar Empire the Unity psychics can push away and destroy smaller ships with their psychic powers. In Stellaris they can't do ♥♥♥♥. What should be an amazing game changing new system is just a stupid dice roll event once every 5 years which also costs energy for completely stupid reasons. And despite the fact that I have over a thousand populations I can still only do it once every 5 years and still have the exact same fail chances and can't at all choose what 3 options I guess. The devs have no vision.

Ok then...

Try it, you probably won't even lose synthetic or mechanical traits, I imagine you'll just somehow gain the organic traits the messenger thing gives you in addition to the synth stuff. Also, normally your portrait changes to a different picture in the same category (humanoid, mammalian etc...) so either your synth species will start looking like droids or robots again, or they'll keep the same portrait.

Or maybe they game still remembers your original organic portrait and takes a portrait from the same category

While I agree with your points I don't agree with your snarkyness. Points can be made without the snark.

If it was only a partial failure the snarkiness would have been unnecessary. Since this was a total failure the snarkiness was necessary to show the depth of my displeasure.

Yeah I saved and tried it, it left my photo and traits the same. It just added the intelligent trait.
And now my capital has an awesome blackhole in it, and colonizable tomb worlds, so yay :P

Wait, what, mine changed to a different species. How do you manage to keep it as it is?

Right, so we're going with "what was will be" as the official explanation
