Maybe the Class 30 Singularity is what happens when you try and eventually do make your own universe via the space needle.
the VEH-hement
I like to think that the class 30 singularity is the players empire ascending into godhood (or the shroud)

The real Crisis is the Nanite player who just spams ships to see how long untill his pc detonates
You have such pleasant voice
I remember my first time encountering a crisis event, it was the unbidden and I think I’ve said parts of this somewhere else but imma say it again. Anyways I was playing a halo mod and had the UNSC infinity which had thousands of heath points and attack points, and it had an escort fleet (I think it was like 10 cruisers, 50 destroyers, and like 150 corvettes) and that fleet was unmatched in the galaxy, until the unbidden arrive. At first I ignored the notifications completely and didn’t even notice the unbidden, until it got a foothold in the galaxy, and once I saw this I immediately sent the infinity and her fleet, and they got demolished by the Unbidden and any fleet I had would also be destroyed, now mind you I had just about 1/3 of the galaxy under my direct control and over 2/3 counting my Allie’s (AI) but any fleet I assembled would crumble to the unbidden (funnily enough this was just like the halo games when the UNSC was fighting the covenant) so I retreated to my core world (the few systems connected to Sol) and after one of the systems fell (Every system at that point had over 20 defenses platforms and 1 cruiser, 25 destroyers and 100 corvettes) and after one fell, I retreated everything back to Sol. At this point over half my empire was gone and I had a new infinity, and we actually managed to repel an attack from the unbidden, until they sent about 3 fleets at once then I lost the game (well I had half my empire but my fleets were gone and my economy was nonexistent)
Cetana, in my opinion, is the weakest. Particularly because she can be defeated without even having to fight her.
Man makes machine. Machines advance past man.
Machines end man.
Machines wish to experience life.
Machines make organic bodies.
Machines become men.
Repeat.
The endgame crisis will not get to see my Xenocompatibility empire due to lag. Am I the endgame crisis because I cause the end of the game, or am I the savior of thr Galaxy because i prevent the crisis?
The in-game simulation was awesome. This made doing the dishes breeze by
That was a great lore dive, and the helpful tips are super appreciated

ITS ME
I love this guys stuff as a Stellaris player myself. Watched almost all his stuff whilst high, enthralling is the word. And I thought I was the only one who makes up detailed lore about my play throughs
I tried running 5x(i think) all crisis, it was disastrous but I somehow managed. Cetana was the 1st, then contingency and then scourge lastly unbidden.
Guess what next time I tried running the same run, cetana was the last. Ohh god her ship is OP, my 3million fleet was easily beating contingency right before that. I wasn't even using by pass weapons. But then cetana? That main ship regeneration is off the charts. 1700 torpedo, 2000small autocannon, 1000 advanced strikecraft 200 tachyon lance, 300 kinetic artillery, 20 ancient ruination glare, uncountable amount of whirlwind missiles and plasmas firing all at once then she goes back to full hp within seconds.
I think the real crisis was the empires we built along the way.
I'll see myself out.
The most powerful crisis is the "RTD" or Response Time Delay. Because it can occur anytime and the longer the game, the more powerful it is. The Shroud gods tremble in fear, even the worm will burrow its head down deeper to whatever dimension it's in. For us humans it's commonly known as "L.A.G." 🤣
Yea if "Cetana" would be able to actualy HAPPEN without PRECISE TRIGGERS HAPPENING it would be the biggest threat MAYBE. Then again…. sorry but i beat a similar threat already with an aged warship, the last of the Adaptive Cruisers, build for a time that we forgot about…. these are hostile waters…
Contingency is but toasters and we all know who won the 4 millenia of war against them with…. 5 new ships called : COLUMBIA, PEGASUS, PACIFICA , ATLANTICA AND THE GALACTICA! (Yea, OG watcher here, the new one is shit, alway's was, alway's will be)
Extraterestical … well… their nothing more than what was beaten by a glorified terraforming ship called after a moon, the titan. And a dude not even able to be a MAN when needed. And Bob being the ultimate planet name.
I still hold Scurge to be 1st place. As Fantasy dictates they do more terifing things to your pops than mere bombardment and antimatter beams, their the most dreadfull.
Also you do realize that you forgot the 2 bigger ones : The player made Crisis(Both, the crisis and the fallen empire mode) AND the psychic made crisis. Both far outpower the others, especiel when doing them oneself.
On that speculation:
I feel they are not even the creators of the system, just the current one's tapped into it.
The fact this unknown entity can summon any of the crisis is unusual enough though….
Red King: "My Lords, the Contingency prefers to focus on empires with large quantities of robotic pops."
The Lords: "What's a pop?"
Not gonna lie, my first fight against Zetana was… underwhelming. It was at 10X but for some reason all her defensive fleets decided to go away to destroy everything and leaved her colossus alone and well… it was not even a fair fight.
I love to think that these "Hunters" are actully just Blokkats from the Gigastructures. Makes them a bit less scary and mysterious, but that's the point, I enjoy thinking of us, humans, as capable of dealing with literally anything given enough intel and resources, including these terrifying Hunters.
Ultima Vigilis only spawns the Unbidden crisis
Thank you for cool podcast.
it would defenetively be my buddy Eric.
You should cover “the compound” in giga engineering, one of the strongest crises by far

While all of these military crises are undoubtably threatening, the typical Space Storms run the threat of destroying the hyperlane network. Granted, this will only occur after a very, very, VERY long time… The simple fact that galactic Travel may one day be reserved for Jump-Drives, Wormholes, and Gateways is horrific to imagine
i made a reddit post about this got a lot of shit because i usually play 25x all crisis, by my testing she is 6 times stronger, which means that potentially in an all crisis run you could get, 25x 50x 600x and then 200x (which happened in my first run, the fleet i build to fight catena was way way way too strong for that last crisis, like it wasn't even funny how f****d the unbidden were). Even if she's the second to spawn that means you're already playing against 300x crisis. this testing did not take into account that if you let the crisis fester in theory the others could get a much stronger overall fleet, but the point was to check the initial deathstacks, and her's were consistently 6 times stronger so ye, if you do an all crisis run and aren't a hard core min maxxer (not that you need op builds, just really good empire management), cross your fingers for cetana to spawn first.
Everyone knows xeno-compatibility is the mightiest of all the end game crisis, for it will melt your rig as well as your worlds.
Nah, it’s going to be a future Crisis.
I wish Cetana was something other than galactic annihilation. Like forced synthetic or virtual ascension/enslavement. Would have fit the DLC better imo. Like she is “saving” us but really not, like a broken benevolent fanaticism.
Her entire event is waiting until you can one shot her using big fregat fleet … She literaly scard of fallen so much that she snipe them, 99% only one empire in galaxsy is attacking her and she still lose… I gona say gray tempest is even stronger looking at her lore and time where she happend in game and how much you need to kill her
Actually the Unbidden/Formless is psionic, when you take the Formless as a vassal, in the galactic species tab, you'll see that their pop have the extradimensional and psionic traits
