As of 2.7, Galactic Weather has been added to the game, this means that at any point stuff can start to rain down on your space parade. In this video we’re going to be looking at its mechanics, how it impacts the galaxy at large and how you can leverage it to your advantage.
Space weather, it’s a thing now, grab an umbrella, not a shield one based though, that’ll cause problems.

Yes, let the Warp consume you! IGNORE THE PAIN OF THE GPU!
Meanwhile in Console Edition:
Ahhhh, no wonder I never cared to look at the effects of the storm…I use disruptors anyway. Saw it once or twice but never really felt any major effects; now I see why.
Unbidden: time for death!
*a storm drains shield*
Unbidden: OH SHIT!!!
Had this happen during my recent trip playthrough
I love how there is a warp storm and my race is based on DAOT ai and the human federation is facing some colossal fuck u from the galaxy… makes me feel the good ol days of the age of strife except this time I am the ai
Man imagine being on 25x Crisis strength the Unbidden have just recently invaded, and soon after the arrival a Galactic Storm hits that lasts for 10 years, it would be like shooting fish in a barrel.
Full armor builds for the win! I feel the warp overtaking me… It is a GOOD pain!
I want more galactic weather events. Maybe even some helpful weather.
This dude rambles more than a heroin addict paid in drugs for every useless word added.

Laugh in telopartion grid
The shield reduction however, that someting.
Will re-thinks all the ship build
14th Black Crusade… slip your moors.
Ah yes…the Emperor prote-
It’s a shame there’s no systems of a sort, a gauntlet if you will, to connect my empire that’s been split in two
"Are you going to go out there and protect your allies?"
That's a good joke. I'm totally fine with my allies being ablative armor for those Awakened Empires trying to carve through the universe to get to me.
… well, how was I supposed to know it was a holy world?! It's not like they left signs in orbit, or they showed up as rainbow-colored messes to orbital scanners.
Meh, this is annoying at most. If ships had a chance to disappear in transit (and maybe some of them reappear years later), I'd be worried. It would be even worse if it randomly cut off starlanes, made jump drive unusable of ?!fun!?, but my worst fear was that a warp storm would disrupt the trade network and even completely cut off planets to the point where they can't import or export stuff and slowly starve to death while I frantically order my specialised planets to build farms and civilian industry. Compared to that, a mere reduction in speed and disabling shields is something I can just shrug off.
Yet another reason for balanced blueprints XD
Now if we can get random demon invasion within the systems affected that'd be great.
Don't pay mind to the warp, even if it's tentacles tempt you the emperor protects!
Me an intellectual: Builds bunch of gateways
Imma finish what the emperor started
Ah, just rolled this, but no chaos daemons … Also didn't really seem to do much? Perhaps I was OP.
Yeah this happened in my last game. Doesn't feel like a crisis
5mins after watching this video this happened
haha gpu die now
The emperor protects
why not use the neutron stars to your advantage by armor up, and sit with numbers and hard tech 😛 especially if there citadels and ur defending ahhahaa
Once I was moving my ship across a neutron star system, then VLUUR decides to also go in, and my fleet stuck there trying to move across the system like, for more than 4 months
Had storm 3 times in one game. When contingency spawned, it was still right there
Wow, I must be unlucky then. I got this in the middle of a two front war, it was not very fun when I had to push very deep into their territory and they kept making fleets again. I almost got encircled but reinforcements arrived and then I crushed the AI.
Galactic storm happened to me and I just ignored it. 🤷🏻♂️ My fleets are designed to be jack of all trades, masters of none, so the storm had very little effect on me. That and I was way ahead in tech and fleet power over everyone meant I wasn’t worried.
“These effects can be a huge issue you need to avoid”
Me, playing a pacifist empire and having it spawn constantly: “wait, there’s a storm going on? I just thought the skybox got updated.”
The game I'm playing now had VLUUR spawn on a choke point that's now in the middle of my empire. That choke point has 2 neutron stars right next to each other. That choke point is the only way to get from the main part of my empire, to the southernmost cluster. VLUUR just keeps moving between the 2 neutron star systems.
100% sublight speed reduction. I'm not getting invaded anytime soon, but by the Shroud it made it hard to defend the southern border.
WAIT THE BORING POINTLESS CRUD STORMS WERE RARE NOT EVERY GAME A YEAR AGO?!
Wow at least we can pinpoint when Stellaris started to devolve ;p I remember when using shields was the meta not pure moron suicide ;p i remember when physics was useful for ANYTHING.
On my current (long) play, a third warp storm just landed. Already armor focused I used the previous two to conquer half the galaxy(1000 stars, ring).
No signs yet as to what end game crisis I rolled but I hope it'll be during one such storm.
Should be good for a few maniacal laughs
Ah yes, the “secret” mid-game crisis.
Oh this, pay it no one, it’s just my “Everything Spawns For Vanilla” mod.
Can you turn off the crisis
The eye of terra looks cool
Hi aspec! I especially looked this vid up to tell you I had in my current game the VLUUR spawn in the TERMINAL EGRESS!!!! The ai opened it(my half of the Galaxy had no l-gates) and when I managed to send in a science ship I moved in a construction ship to claim it (the ai is not the smartest cookie) the VLUUR spawned in the terminal egress!! I really hope you see this. Love your stuff! Keep at it!
I had a UNE game where the Unbidden spawned in a Pulsar system, lmao no shields
It'd be neat if it would cause a small % of hyperlanes to become impassable/dangerous to traverse.
I never use shields after i get the crystal plating , i use that instead..more hitpoint 50% and more armor 50% i do. Works really well i find, since most enemies use energy weapons mainly lategame.
Given that warp storms have the capacity to spontaneously turn your ship into a ten thousand mile long mars bar and your crew into twisted, homicidal hamsters while the Prince of Pleasure approaches you with a spiked dildo and a prawn flavoured ballgag… I would, in no uncertain terms, leg it as soon as I became aware of the warp storm.
