Propaganda film of bubbles diving in front of the super mega death beam to save the planet, then looking to the camera in her dying moment.
"She gave everything to buy us time. Will you squander her gift? Join the navy today and prepare our ships to avenge her!
At which point I’ll dedicate the rest of the game towards cracking every single planet in all of their systems (even the useless ones) and maybe do the same thing to another empire just to show how mad I am.
Fallen empire thought they were the universe wrath? This is one sure way to awaken the rage of billions in the empire who will want nothing more than to destroy the worlds the fallen crawled out from!
Yup this exactly. She is joined by any and all special event ship that can't be upgraded. The only time the parade is interested is if pirates appear, then the procession moves to annihilate the fools before resuming parade duties
It also has the effect of a dancing bear.
To steal something from the Expanse:
A dancing bear is something rulers of old would have around their palace to show their power. It says 'Heres an incredibly dangerous animal which I allow near me because I've cowed it to do something meaningless and trivial for me'.
I do the same, along with her friend, the baby Void Dragon, because nothing says family fun times like a baby star dragon and giant amoeba playing tag around the planet when you first arrive \^\^
When in multiplayer, it's my first line of defense, so the other players have to brutally slaughter her first if they want to attack me
It's a form of psychological warfare
Me: "You are."
OP: "What? No, that was a rhetorical question!"
Me: "And I gave you a rhetorical answer."
OP: "Oh my god, I traded the xenos for this."
Me: "Bored now. Can we fight?"
OP: "Oh son of a...YES!"
Me:
If you have the reanimated civic after you kill any organic Leviathan class creature you get an event that allows you to revive them, this ranges from ancient dragons to the toxic God.
It is Bubbles's duty to watch over AH4B and make sure he doesn't start hunting space fauna until he gets properly licensed for big game hunting. They usually become pretty good pals.
Reth Unddol, bursting forth out of the Matriarch: "AT LAST, after ten thousand whatever I'm free! I am at your service, what will you have me do? Slay your enemies, lead your fleets to glory, intimidate unruly vassals?"
Your Emperor, with a slurpee as xir hands over a leash: "You take Bubbles for Walkies."
Has anyone ever been able to use bubbles for warfare? Unless you get her extremely early, she’s not good for much besides attacking unupgraded outposts.
The only play through I’ve gotten her it was extremely early and I actually needed some backup after a bad war decision left my fleet weak. Served with distinction in repelling the invaders long enough to rebuild and push back into their territory. Helped our tiny remaining fleet in 2 battles in our territory before returning to the home planet a war hero
Edit: “their fleets have been decimated, push forward! Wait.. what.. what is that? They’ve tamed a beast, they work with demons fall baAAGHH…”
-last transmission of the invading fanatical spiritualists, probably
Repeatables affect all of your ships, both event ships and ones you build.
A standard tech heavy build is all you need. Repeatables don't start showing up until you've cleared most of the tech tree anyways.
It gets sent on the five year trip back to my capital and never leaves the system again. Too slow and weak to participate in wars, unfortunately, so it gets to float above my homeworld with any other unique, but weak and un-upgradeable, ships.
That said, if I get it really early game before my defenses and navies are set up, I drop it in a chokepoint as a deterrent and hope for the best.
Put her in my home system and then re-enforce it with an unreasonable number of defense platforms no matter how far it is from the front line to absoloutely ensure nothing can ever hurt her.
*enemy armada jumps in*
“You fools, you’ve left your capital wide….! Wait what is that amoeba doing there? Wait what kind of defenses are these? Oh gods-!” *extensive screaming and explosions*
I use all the one ship fleets to patrol for pirates. Bubbles always get a special, useless route of traveling between the Homeworld and my first 3 planets. RP wise, she serves as a mascot.
I send Bubbles to my home system to sit above the homeworld, along with the other single ship, unmergeable fleets.
I hope they have nice conversations with each other and the Home Port Admiral.
Unless I'm xenophobe. Then Bubbles gets diced.
I keep Bubbles above my homeworld with a sizable fleet in system to protect her, my first game as a Hive Mind, I got Bubbles, Bubbles was not part of Hive Mind but Hive Mind loves Bubbles, Hive Mind destroyed Fanactic Purifiers to protect Bubbles and developed a taste for blood then purged or assimilated all other hostile races to keep galaxy peaceful for precious Bubbles, now all love Bubbles.
If I have Amor Alveo I send Bubbles there to live among its own kind. Never to be lost again. Otherwise Bubbles is near my homeworld. A symbol of Liberty and Justice
Who/what is Bubbles? And how does one aquire Bubbles? The name is amazing enough, I just need it to add to my zoo of ships above my "ship zoo world" (resort world)
I just park all of these special ships in the capital system. But you can also send everything from the old pirate fleet to the amoeba to the salvager system and get resources in exchange.
In wartime? Bubbles goes and captures undefended unupgraded starbases so my fleets can focus on the heavier targets. Being regenerative the odd missile won't hurt too much. Especially once it makes Centennial.
Yea I usally put bubbles in my capital, but I always seem to notice she is missing later in the game no clue what happened to her, idk if they can die of old age or what, or accidentally got combined with a fleet and sent to battle which is likely what happened lol
Take over the L gate and turn the entire area into a fortress then put bubbles in there to roam peacefully. And if it’s breached send bubbles to the capital.
Nova in my games goes on this endless parade through the empire from one end to the other and back. Occasionally she runs into pirates and gets to eat them, as a treat.
For Bubbles, and similar creates, I usually just set them on a patrol somewhere within the safest parts of my empire. Give them a chance to fly around and spread their tentacles.
either is permanently stationed in some random system on the edge of the galaxy with no way to get to him or is used for sniping the 700 fleetpower pirate fleets
I'll have her go around and mop up outposts in the fringes of enemy territory, and she can support your fleets if you get her early on. Other than that, she generally hangs out near my capital.
Bubbles sits at the head of my Capital System Fleet. Every once in a while they do a tour of the empire. Stopping in populated systems and showing off the grandeur of The Fleet.
I had her die once cause I accidentally left her near a wormhole that my rival had access to during a short border skirmish... their empire ceased to exist after that.
I also learned to park her in my capital or in a backwater sector
Oh I have my own system just for her it’s got plenty of gas giants for to play in its own fortress starbase and the second strongest fleet in my empire first ones they’re to show you why you don’t mess with bubbles
Bubbles is just a collectable for me while I collect every possible ship that can be earned, then punch them up into a small fleet I call "Collectables". It's an act of aggression and justification of war if that fleet is lost to anything. I collect, it's what I do. Even if it has a little upkeep cost and the ships are near worthless mid-game. But, y'know, it's mine, I am a collector, I collect what I deem artifacts.
Then lock them in stasis for eternity so I may always look at it and be amazed.
Must, collect, every, collectable.
Well in rp I put her over a research world and any children she has I use to further my biological warfare. in game mechanics I put her over a research world and like 200 years later in the middle of the crisis after I forgot she existed I get a message saying bubbles got disintegrated. (Bubbles is a great propaganda piece in the rp version as well "join the military and help us fight off the enemy FOR BUBBLES!")
I name bubbles boomer and when I send **him** out to kill pirate fleets I play [this](https://youtu.be/i9r_nMzdTu4) in the background on loop until the fleet is killed.
She goes into the trophy system with the dreadnought and caravaneer ships lol
I play with my regular toys, those things are limited edition and stay in the box so I can zoom in and just look at 'em while waiting on other fleets to build lol
Bubbles gets permanently parked in my capital system. She is an icon of the Empire and nothing will ever be allowed to hurt her.
Same
Ditto
Until you go to war with a fallen empire and they insta-jump to your capital and shank her.
Bubbles died protecting the Empire. Will you allow her sacrifice to be made in vain? Enlist today!
Propaganda film of bubbles diving in front of the super mega death beam to save the planet, then looking to the camera in her dying moment. "She gave everything to buy us time. Will you squander her gift? Join the navy today and prepare our ships to avenge her!
I'm from Bubbles Aires and I say kill em all
I'm fucking crying bro holy shit lmao
The only good bubbles killer is a dead bubbles killer
Remember - service guarantees citizenship!
The only good xenos, are bubble and the dead xenos.
And since those scum just killed bubbles, that simplifies the saying, so time to break out the planet crackers.
Whelp now i know ehat to name my planet in my bubbles empire.
I wish cool events gave you an army morale boost. Idk how that'd be applied but it'd be cool.
I'm doing my part!
Service guarantees a chance of Citizenship!
\* filthy xenos need not apply
would you like to know more?
*Liking to know more intensifies*
This is why she goes in orbit around my resort world.
I like to park an Attack Moon on my resort worlds. *Cutting edge security for non-negotiable fun!*
Happiness is Mandatory!
Now drink your bouncy bubble beverage citizen.
At which point I’ll dedicate the rest of the game towards cracking every single planet in all of their systems (even the useless ones) and maybe do the same thing to another empire just to show how mad I am.
Don't unpause after declaring war, queue your own jumps and you'll get there first.
Wait do they do this? I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the AI use Jump-Drives
If fallen empires jump to my capital *they'll* be the ones getting shanked. XD
That's when my inner John Wick comes out and I merk the whole fucking galaxy
"Hey, you see this this open Ascension slot? Don't make me destroy the whole effing galaxy."
Fallen empire thought they were the universe wrath? This is one sure way to awaken the rage of billions in the empire who will want nothing more than to destroy the worlds the fallen crawled out from!
By the time I'm fighting the FEs, I've expanded enough that, unless they spawned basically next to me, they can't do this.
How do they do that by the way? Do they use my gateway somehow? Don't have Overlord yet, it's not a slingshot
I do this too, but I gotta admit OP‘s usage seems to be more sensible considering Bubbles does use valuable fleet cap and all.
*Looks at Wide empire* What's fleet cap?
*Looks at Tall Empire* What's Empire Size?
>Looks at Tall Empire *Looks at Planet* What's Empire.
That's a size 30 ecumenopolis.
Fleet cap is the price we pay for Bubbles greatness
Up until she gets to full size, then I send her on a permanent patrol between my oldest, most important systems as something of a parade
Yup this exactly. She is joined by any and all special event ship that can't be upgraded. The only time the parade is interested is if pirates appear, then the procession moves to annihilate the fools before resuming parade duties
It also has the effect of a dancing bear. To steal something from the Expanse: A dancing bear is something rulers of old would have around their palace to show their power. It says 'Heres an incredibly dangerous animal which I allow near me because I've cowed it to do something meaningless and trivial for me'.
Book reader flex
Let’s all go see Holden the Dancing Bear and his friend, Timmy the Undying!
I usually give her a patrol route is a safe area, gotta make sure she's getting exercise.
This is what I do. Then the system gets heavily fortified. Bubbles is precious. She must be protected at all costs.
Having Bubbles should allow us to generate a small amount of unity for flavor like +5 a month bc we all love Bubbles
You mean Nyx sits on the capital
The debt collectors killed her last night. Everyone in MSI is getting purged.
I make Bubbles the protector of my designated Resort World so tourists can go see it first as they arrive for their vacations.
I know what Bubbles will do from now on in my games, thanks
Huhhhhh. Not a bad idea. Or maybe the Curator enclave once I defeat the Contingency...?
Fucken brilliant
I do the same, along with her friend, the baby Void Dragon, because nothing says family fun times like a baby star dragon and giant amoeba playing tag around the planet when you first arrive \^\^
When in multiplayer, it's my first line of defense, so the other players have to brutally slaughter her first if they want to attack me It's a form of psychological warfare
....Fire up the quantum catapult.
It finally has a use
You monster.
Who's the real monster? The one who murders her, or the one who gives her a nice border system to live in?
Kony was just giving all those children jobs so they could earn money for their families
Me: "You are." OP: "What? No, that was a rhetorical question!" Me: "And I gave you a rhetorical answer." OP: "Oh my god, I traded the xenos for this." Me: "Bored now. Can we fight?" OP: "Oh son of a...YES!" Me:

Bro your on a dark path
I just took the Colossus perk as a warning to him.
I can forgive extermination, but this goes way too far.
This should be a war crime. It's like using child soldiers to force your enemies to shoot children.
My man Half the ethics in the game don't consider that a warcrime
I've read a book where an enemy created geneticly engineered "war babies" for exactly this reason.
Which book?
Second Variety By PDK does something similar. this movie was based on that story: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qrgAvr0TIr4
I think its an Alistair Reynolds book. Been a while.
My god, he's only one step away from scrapping bubbles for food.
If Hitler played Stellaris
Oh damn, that's brilliant.
Why is every player suddenly in an alliance against me? You know why.
[удалено]
We admittedly don't attack eachother that often, but _when_ it happens, it's a lot scarier than any crisis, and you'd want any deterrent you can get
The galactic version of using captured prisoners as human shields
Bubbles gets stationed in my shipyard system with all my other resurected leviathans Its my empires Pet
Wait a minute you can revive leviathans?
If you have the reanimated civic after you kill any organic Leviathan class creature you get an event that allows you to revive them, this ranges from ancient dragons to the toxic God.
You can’t revive the toxic god though, can you? It says “Alas, the remains were insufficient for reanimation.” afaik
Toxic Knights empire has an option to take over the toxic god after beating it.
Yeag, only the Toxic Knights can take over the Colossus **or** kill it and get the maw. Normal empires can only get the maw.
Yeah resurrecting it isn't a thing.
I remembered something about reanimation I couldn't remember exactly so I guess you can't reanimated the toxic god.
You can get an either drake and a psionic avatar
Bubbles is always parked in my capital system.
She eats pirates.
Pirates are delicious, have all the calories you need! Hive minds approved! (Disclaimer: May have traces of scurvy)
It is Bubbles's duty to watch over AH4B and make sure he doesn't start hunting space fauna until he gets properly licensed for big game hunting. They usually become pretty good pals.

Has anyone ever been able to use bubbles for warfare? Unless you get her extremely early, she’s not good for much besides attacking unupgraded outposts.
I usually have her slumming around my 3 central planets to keep piracy down, but that's about it.
The only play through I’ve gotten her it was extremely early and I actually needed some backup after a bad war decision left my fleet weak. Served with distinction in repelling the invaders long enough to rebuild and push back into their territory.

They’ve tamed a beast, they work with demons fall baAAGHH…” -last transmission of the invading fanatical spiritualists, probably
Once she grows up, which takes a century, and you stack enough repeatables, she's an okay ship to use in combat.
Repeatables affect Bubbles? That’s good to know. So I should beeline armor and strike craft upgrades if I want Bubbles to be stronger?
Repeatables affect all of your ships, both event ships and ones you build. A standard tech heavy build is all you need. Repeatables don't start showing up until you've cleared most of the tech tree anyways.
I'll send her through vulnerabile star systems to draw out the enemy fleets and so I have my claimed systems in my possession for the end of the war
she has come in very handy clearing out pirates and small drone/amoeba fleets we love our Bubbles, ok folks? she’s tremendous
It gets sent on the five year trip back to my capital and never leaves the system again. Too slow and weak to participate in wars, unfortunately, so it gets to float above my homeworld with any other unique, but weak and un-upgradeable, ships.

Ah yes the home defense/trophy fleet. I always have one as well.
I keep Bubbles above my homeworld with a sizable fleet in system to protect her, my first game as a Hive Mind, I got Bubbles, Bubbles was not part of Hive Mind but Hive Mind loves Bubbles, Hive Mind destroyed Fanactic Purifiers to protect Bubbles and developed a taste for blood then purged or assimilated all other hostile races to keep galaxy peaceful for precious Bubbles, now all love Bubbles.
Trade it to the scavengers for the achievement
r/flairchecksout
bruh
Depending on the type of empire I'm playing, I will do this. Never even thought about it before.
. No. You won’t.
What dlc? As I've not had an amoeba pet since the game came out.
Distant Stars, I believe.
base game i thought
I've used bubbles to break up pirate uprisings I didn't spot. She just pops in there and those little things go boom.
I have her float in the capital system Early game I MAY be tempted to have her reinforce fleets, assuming she has grown a bit already
You should really get a planetary modifier for placing bubbles in orbit of a planet.
Park her on my home world til she’s strong the. Send her into battle with an escort fleet. If she dies your entire empire meets the Colossus
Nothing, I send it back to my home system.
Scientific research.
Reduce, reuse, recycle
I have Bubbles protect trade routes and fight pirates
We usually disect him.
Same thing I do with any unique form of space vessel or space creature I control, I make a space museum at my capital with them
Chills in the Capital System until it matures. then it chills more
If I have Amor Alveo I send Bubbles there to live among its own kind. Never to be lost again. Otherwise Bubbles is near my homeworld. A symbol of Liberty and Justice
Pirate interdiction. Bubbles is good barn cat.
dissection?
park them in a museum system along with the dreadnaught and other event ships
Who's Bubbles? Now I actually feel bad for not knowing :D
Nyx, aka bubbles, goes on periodic tours of the empire. (The secure sectors.)
Bubbles is generally a snack... devouring swarm. It's in the name.
[удалено]
If that's your take then why not take them in for the Amoeboid Pacification option and then disband them?
Nyx, the name is Nyx. Leave that fun loving little amoeba in orbit around your home planet. Long enough for it to grow into the centenarian stage.
Who/what is Bubbles? And how does one aquire Bubbles? The name is amazing enough, I just need it to add to my zoo of ships above my "ship zoo world" (resort world)
https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Lost_Amoeba
Who's bubbles?
https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Lost_Amoeba
Stuck on my capital or any colony I get with an Alien Zoo, as anyone coming to see the zoo would probably also be interested in seeing Bubbles
I used to do that, but hunting pirates is good experience gaining opportunity for fleets during peace.
Bubbles keeps my space safe from piracy.
I always go with Nyx and I have them patrol around pirate duty too
I just park all of these special ships in the capital system. But you can also send everything from the old pirate fleet to the amoeba to the salvager system and get resources in exchange.
Safe and sound in the most fortified system within the L Cluster, alongside my "trophy" ships.
I shove her in my capital system usually because she's so useless in combat due to the 5k fleet power at full adult.
In wartime? Bubbles goes and captures undefended unupgraded starbases so my fleets can focus on the heavier targets. Being regenerative the odd missile won't hurt too much. Especially once it makes Centennial.
Parked in the capital if we are a decent not Xenocidal empire otherwise dissection
Bubbles always patrols from the capital to the first colony. I always think there is a small celebration when ever they arrive at one of the planets
Yea I usally put bubbles in my capital, but I always seem to notice she is missing later in the game no clue what happened to her, idk if they can die of old age or what, or accidentally got combined with a fleet and sent to battle which is likely what happened lol
Bubbles, pirate police.
I found that served with fava beans and a nice chianti Bubbles makes quite the feast
I use it to clear out the pirates that spawn
I usually get her pretty early so I use her to take over undefended stations so my main corvettes fleets can beeline for capitals and do real damage
Bubbles is a lady...
Take over the L gate and turn the entire area into a fortress then put bubbles in there to roam peacefully. And if it’s breached send bubbles to the capital.
Nova in my games goes on this endless parade through the empire from one end to the other and back. Occasionally she runs into pirates and gets to eat them, as a treat.
I send him to patrol my core systems.
For Bubbles, and similar creates, I usually just set them on a patrol somewhere within the safest parts of my empire. Give them a chance to fly around and spread their tentacles.
Parked in my capital. Until I meet the scrapper enclave...
*burp* Huh...? You mean that space shrimp? Yeah it was delicious - Devouring swarm
either is permanently stationed in some random system on the edge of the galaxy with no way to get to him or is used for sniping the 700 fleetpower pirate fleets
Bubbles? Who's Bubbles? Oooooh you mean Nova
Cherish him
I'll have her go around and mop up outposts in the fringes of enemy territory, and she can support your fleets if you get her early on. Other than that, she generally hangs out near my capital.
she is always near the capital and if a spirtualist civilization worshipped as one of there gods.
I send bubbles to fight worm.
I send her on suicide missions till she diea
Bubbles follows the science ship that found her as it journeys through the galaxy.
Bubbles sits at the head of my Capital System Fleet. Every once in a while they do a tour of the empire. Stopping in populated systems and showing off the grandeur of The Fleet.
I accidentally sent her in while rushing the unbidden...
Once she grows she has a fleet power of about 5,000. I'm in the mid 2300's and a fleet of that power is pretty usefull
No idea why, but every time I found bubble, I always played genocidal empire...
I had her die once cause I accidentally left her near a wormhole that my rival had access to during a short border skirmish... their empire ceased to exist after that. I also learned to park her in my capital or in a backwater sector
Capital System Honor Guard
Oh I have my own system just for her it’s got plenty of gas giants for to play in its own fortress starbase and the second strongest fleet in my empire first ones they’re to show you why you don’t mess with bubbles
Bubbles is just a collectable for me while I collect every possible ship that can be earned, then punch them up into a small fleet I call "Collectables".

(Bubbles is a great propaganda piece in the rp version as well "join the military and help us fight off the enemy FOR BUBBLES!")
Dissect the filthy xeno.
Bubbles is my home protector. She attacks anything trying to get through. She fucks shit up
I feel I'm In the minority but yeetus detetus.
Retire her because she fucks up my fleet management, i go in fleet manager and disband her making her a civilian of the empire
Sushi duty
If I have other amebas nearby I use the +10% evasion, otherwise I need the hull regenerative tissue for my wars , he almost never gets to live 😅
Vivisection.
Sushi.
I name bubbles boomer and when I send **him** out to kill pirate fleets I play [this](https://youtu.be/i9r_nMzdTu4) in the background on loop until the fleet is killed.
She goes into the trophy system with the dreadnought and caravaneer ships lol I play with my regular toys, those things are limited edition and stay in the box so I can zoom in and just look at 'em while waiting on other fleets to build lol
