Just Eat.

Closed it’s borders? I thought AEs could just ignore them.

Not if they are always hostile XD

This will get Interesting .alos nice mod

Worry not, actual lists of features will come around after a month. They are left blank atm to avoid spoilers lol.

why are the OE space germans one of my friend's tranlated their flet names and stuff, is interesting but odd. also the defence outposts and towers can use their weapons, putting this here incase it's spoilers

about 8 fleets of 40 escorts, 20 battle cruisers and one fallen titan all at your L-gate work as a fairly good defence, i had 12 by the end to have 4 to send to defend my other borders but they pretty much only attacked my L-gate, by the time ist forth to kill them i had 12 fleets of that comp with their offence and defence tech

So I finally managed to beat the OE. Just wondering... if I wasn't a machine empire... would I be able to get all their other OP traits?

Hive Mind can consume them and extract their ancient race trait.

Others cannot do anything to them atm (But may be added in the future)

I see. Another question: I know that mod authors prefer their subscribers to explore their mods but can I at least ask if I would be able to get all the OE tech? Or at least their unique ship-classes? And how?

If you control their homeworld, you will eventually get an event that tells you that your scientists have discovered the last of the materials OE used to build their unique ships. You can use this last shipment to build either the great Arkship, or OE Golden Armada (Which consists of their unique ships and their unique and extremely powerful Colossus). Both are one-timed investment.

Everything else besides their unique buildings, colossus, starbases and the Arkship's weapon (Which is unique to it) are researchable with the right conditions.

By unique buildings, do you mean All of their buildings?

Yes. Which means if you use any methods that involve the destruction of their homeworlds, those buildings are also gone forever.

Like colonizing their planets D:

Btw... when I asked about getting their tech, I meant if it was possible to get even that last tech line the OE made measures to prevent being reverse engineered.

If you own their homeworld, the last tech line will eventually be researchable, along with any other techs you may have missed.

Doing so however constitutes you as the successor of OE, and the entire galaxy will react upon such sudden change in power.

Those who consider you allies or friends will approve of it, those that are not, especially AFE/AEs will consider you the new threat.

Cleasning will have to be both through and merciless.
