I always wondered why there are corporate enclaves (or really any enclave exept the shroud walkers maybe) when there is literally no one to trade with. All of the player/regular Ai empires are just starting to explore the stars and advanced stars only have a few decades head start. Fallen empires and mauraders (if they are even around) don’t trade with anyone. The enclaves would have been hundreds if not thousands of years without anyone or anything using their services.

Aha very true actually! Could make more sense if they were automated machines... otherwise as you say, they've been chilling with no one to talk to for a long time!
@NPatterson4vdma Жыл бұрын
You can negotiate trade agreements with Fallen Empires most of the time, unless they hate your empire, right? Perhaps that is who the enclaves normally do business. If the enclaves really are extremely ancient, as they seem to be, doesn't that mean they would probably regard equally longstanding institutions as reliable customers? Perhaps even patrons.

Question: "How would the Forerunners compare to current endgame Stellaris technologies, feats, and factions?" I seen videos of what you could do currently in game like create ridiculously massive megastructures the size of a solar system. And there are even some mods with a extra endgame crisis call Blokkats and they seem pretty powerful in time-lapses. And if you become a crisis in Nemesis you can physically destroy the galaxy. Defensive structures and fleets are also very impressive. How would the Forerunners technologically compare to those current Stellaris feats? Have they met a equal powerscaling wise? Titans, Juggernauts, and ancient relics and the stellar beasts vs Forerunner ships would be amazing. I think a Titan, Juggernaut, and the Dreadnought would easily take on the Imperium's massively out of date Gloriana Class Battleships.

@@TheRedKing To get a good idea how powerful the Forerunners are typy in "Forerunners would dominate in 40k" by Pancreasnowork. He list off many lore facts about the Forerunners. Forerunner ships are very powerful and they made 100km ships like the Fortress Class Dreadnought in lore very commonly. And they have Ai that can commands millions of warships at once and galactic systems efficiently like Mendicant Bias and Offensive Bias.
