Stumbled upon a Construction Ship which just couldn't decide on its orders. 😆
Wow... even the Egalitarians and the Xenophiles aren't supporting 
Ban Organic Slave Trade with me... only my vassals, who would otherwise oppose. Even the Vetirisian Trading Coalition are abstaining and this is their own proposal!! What!!!
Some members of the Federation I'm in temporarily usurped my position as President by summoning dimensional fleets to inflate their fleet power. When they downscaled their fleets later (I assume their economies can't sustain it since their Naval Capacity is lower) and I regained presidency, I find out that apparently they trapped all the ships in an isolated system with no hyperlanes. Nice one guys...
This is how I found out that I can actually engage Emergency FTL outside of combat (by pressing the Return command without any valid path).
The amount of support the AI empires are giving me is starting to concern me. I proposed 
Galactic Defense Force a few days before the Senate moved to session just to expend some Influence, and within those few days it apparently got enough support to jump to the top of the queue and move to the Senate Floor. That was for a resolution that supposedly had "Weak Support".
Come on, Covenant of Scodd, make up your mind!! This was even during a truce period after they ended association status the last time...
spam newsletters if you remove everything of no substance:
In #Stellaris a hivemind from the other side of the galaxy just developed FTL, established an empire, and not even a couple seconds/ingame days later got destroyed. Too bad for them...
