the new tech in this dlc/update in terms of dig sites and archeotech giving us new modules for ships and new weps or wep tiers and cloaking and allowing science ships to help w detection
yeah this update really is gunna have some fun shifts in the meta i think early and late game
cant wait to see some bigger tournaments where people go nuts w it and the new origins given the fear of the dark one can let you become a fanatic purifier and still have 3 other civics so that is a completely crazy origin if you can get through it fast enough
Hey Tachyon! First off, been watching your vids. Really gave me food for thought about my own ship designs, & have altered them accordingly as per your advice. So major thanks there! Really hoping to try out Strike craft Cruisers in multiplayer tournament play if I ever get the new computer running! Lol. Anyway; to answer your musings at 19:01 however, I watched montu talking about the subjects you discuss. Specifically; him going over recent Dev diaries, & can confirm that Battleship / Titan cloaking is actually a fallen empire dark matter Tech. It also does indeed have a Psionic variant, & is in fact impossible for the aforementioned classes without this salvaged research. Additionally, to add another point. Enigmatic Engineering also gets a change; adding +2 to the strength of this new ability. Finishing the espionage tradition can also add a further +1 too. Hope these little clarifications help make things more certain for you or anyone else reading this. Have a nice day.

Looks like cloaks will keep all ship sizes super relevant. Cloaked frigates was exactly what I was thinking btw. Great foil fleets to jump in and chunk with torps.
