Nice, I only have over 400 so far. I Started around January just before 2.0 (or was it 2.1?), but most of that time was in the ST: New Horizons mod, and I only recently switched over to the regular game about two months ago.

Mods would be considered add-ons, yes? I could also look into starting up some guides (like what does what or where to start).

No problem

Hi everyone. Recently I had decided to create the Kingdom of Asgard based off the Asgardians from MCU, because I wanted to expand a little more on the "space fantasy" or "space opera" side of Stellaris rather than my usual, more "realistic", Elite: Dangerous style human factions. I've made them "human" humanoids with plantoid ships and cities (because they're gold and the ships have "sails"), a continental homeworld named Asgard, humanoid 1 naming conventions (although molluscoid 4 seems like a good alt for seafaring names), and their emblem resembles a sort of Nordic knot with a gold background. Government is a Martial Empire with Philosopher King and Warrior Culture; ethics are Xenophile, Militarist, and Spiritualist; traits are Venerable, Strong, Quarrelsome, Sedentary, and Deviants. My question for everyone is: What sort of government ethics and species traits would you go with? Are the ones I've chosen pretty accurate?

I have every DLC except Apoc (I don't like doomsday weapons) and Distant Stars. I'd definitely be interested in trying multiplayer, the only caveat is that I like to use the Astronomical Emblems and Downscaled Ships mods.
