by PDX-Loke Hello, While you were busy upgrading cloaked fleets at enemy starbases and buying multiple galatrons, the team has kept on fixing and tweaking. The 3.7.4 patch is ready and available for download now. Please find the patch notes below.

STELLARIS 3.7.4 PATCH NOTES

• Pre-FTL civilizations now have a chance of having a "close call" when nuclear war threatens to break out.
• Payback Origin
  * If you defeat the Debt Collectors three times, the MSI will use the Humiliate war goal against you instead of trying to vassalize you * The Debt collectors won't bug you anymore if you're currently at war with the MSI * Fixed Payback war goals to ensure you can't vassalize or impose ideology on homicidal empires * Slightly increased surrender acceptance of Payback war goals * Payback origin: fixed a rare instance where the Debt Collectors event chain could get soft locked if the debt collectors were defeated by another empire * Payback empires now get a consolatory prize if the MSI gets destroyed by a Marauder empire * Fixed an issue where a Payback empire using the End Threat (Payback) war goal against the MSI could end with a whimper instead of as intended.
