Initially, it was possible to have species rocking different methods of moving between stars, but now everyone is restricted to hyperplanes. Later patches have resolved this issue, but it's still a minor complaint, as is the way the developers removed two of the three forms of travel, wormholes and warp drives.
The community refers to the phenomenon as a 'doomstack,' and wars quickly developed into attempting to avoid the other doomstacks with your own, bypass defenses and lay siege to planets. Dealing with 'doomstacks'Īn issue that plagued Stellaris from the beginning was its doomstacks, which essentially saw every player (or AI) place every ship they owned into a single fleet. Stellaris is a game that allows you to go a little deep but keeps everything user-friendly to allow those new to the 4X and strategy genres to feel right at home without getting utterly destroyed. Not only do you have the ability to design ships, but also manage planets, form governments, create alliances, become ascendants, and work with others in surviving against foes and potential crises.
