If you're the kind of player who likes to turtle-up, then you'll particularly enjoy the changes that let you equip stations with powerful orbital platforms, hangers full of fighters, and a healthy range of additional benefit-giving buildings to suit the way you're playing.

It takes some time to upgrade your stations and turn them into citadels, but in doing so you can seriously reinforce a particular system, which again feeds into the switch to hyper-lanes.
In one of those features that fits like a glove and feels like it's always been there, you can now upgrade your starbases with loads of cool features, turning them into powerful fortresses and capable deterrents against all but the most stacked enemy fleets. Now you can only move your ships around the galaxy down pre-determined routes, and while that is a little prescriptive at times, it makes defending your empire more tactical, as you can see on the map from where your potential opponents are going to arrive and can plan accordingly.

While we can appreciate that some people miss their old modes of transport, we have to say that, especially after reflecting on our last game before the update which was dominated by a grueling game of cat and mouse where our fleet hopelessly chased down phantom-like enemies, we think it's a positive change overall. Instead of the options of old, now everyone has to use hyper-lanes. Oblivious going in, we were surprised when the game didn't give us the chance to choose our preferred method of faster than light travel. The most significant change is also the most divisive one. It's a tricky one to score, though, because the biggest changes to the game come as part of the free Cherryh update, which overhauls a number of key gameplay systems and reinvigorates the core of the experience, bringing a new tempo to your exploration and expansion into the stars. It's been a few months since we sat down with Stellaris, the fusion of sci-fi 4X and grand strategy by Paradox, and the recent release of the 2.0 Cherryh update alongside the paid-for Apocalypse expansion has really thrown the cat among the proverbial pigeons, and now after having spent a few evenings conquering the galaxy (well, trying to) with a random reptilian race and our own vision of tomorrow's humanity, we're ready to tell you what we think.
