Fog of war

[CTHOMP]

Should they have it in stellaris? I think now with hyperlanes it would make exploration even better.

what exactly do you mean, there already is fog of war, you can only see a limited number of hyperlanes away. if you mean in systems, that would just be annoying and the systems are too small, and if you mean not being able to see undiscovered systems at all, that would be REALLY annoying and wouldn't realistically make sense.

Oh. Im mistaken, i thought you could see thw full hyperlane web from the start. Ive actually not played yet, just watched youtube let's plays. Was waiting till 2.0 to try, and now waiting for patch before i dive in.

I like the changes to how traveling works now. makes it more tactical. anyway, I actually need some help if some of you don't mind. I've gotten some mods for stellaris before I actually gotten the game. and now i don't see them on the mods tab in the launch screen. what should I do?

Download them. They probably aren't compatible with 2.0

You can still see all hyperlanes, he just misunderstood you.

And I think it's good that you can, otherwise you would be lacking so much important information that you need to make good decisions about where to explore first, where to expand, etc. Starting "blind" is only a good thing if the game allows you to actively get the scouting information you need to make informed decisions, which would not be the case in Stellaris,

Just yes! I played just befor 2.0 every game with only hyperlanes and a mod that give the galaxy this real fog of war. Its just not realistic that you can see the whoule hyplerlane network when you have no intel over your neighborhood-system. :D

That you dont even know where your start system is in the galaxy because all space is black is the good thing about that... yes it makes things more difficult. But just more exciting.

In my last game i see my neighbor empires and can block them of from massive space room just with quickly build space stations in theire borders... its fun. But a bit to powerfull...
