RE: Any Chance we will get Steam Keys for BA?

Is there any progress to report on this issue? As of today I still can't register the Maga Pack.

RE: Colonizable Planets--Where are they?

<t> In most of my games I found that usually colonizable planets were more sparse than in the original game. <br/> <br/> Even when you gain techs to colonize new planets it cn be difficult to find then with a value above 50 (especially volcanic and desert planets).<br/> <br/> Still, as the game prog...

RE: Feature or Bug?: Attacked by friendly empire

Sounds like things have broken down at the negotiation table.

I'd declare war and begin a counter offensive.

RE: New to Distant Worlds

I can't pass up the opportunity to tip my hat to the Matrix team as well.

MatrixGames - There can only be one.


Enjoy this one - It's a keeper!

RE: Micromanagers Intro to Distant Worlds: Return of the Shakturi

<t> Well folks I need to wrap this up. I had hoped to chronicle the first ten years of a game, but with family coming in and the level of detail I wanted to provide it was just too agressive a schedule for me.<br/> <br/> I would also like to appologize again for the spoiler screen and anyone who was...

RE: Micromanagers Intro to Distant Worlds: Return of the Shakturi

Looks like we killed the Ardius, butt took 3 damage points on the destroyer. Fleet II has upgraded both destroyers to Mandible II Class so I am sending them to Calandes and bringing back Fleet I for a refit. I am also ordering the upgrade of my Space Port.

RE: Micromanagers Intro to Distant Worlds: Return of the Shakturi

<r> Wow a colony ship from an advanced race. I will need to ask my science officer for a run down on my options before I made a decision. Using the construction screen they filter the top selection to only show colony ships & then click the components tab for a report on what's inside.<br/> <br/...

RE: Micromanagers Intro to Distant Worlds: Return of the Shakturi

<r> The pause feature in DW is your best friend since there always seems to be 3 or 4 things happening at once (Just like home). I'm using it to suspend the battle at Calandes, as I bring up my ship sesign screen. I want to add my new Proximity Sensors to the Feeler, Mandible, Tooth, and Stinger Cla...

RE: Micromanagers Intro to Distant Worlds: Return of the Shakturi

<r> Just when you think you've got a handle on things DW throws you a curve. It looks like Calandes is turning out to be monsterville. My Explorer ship seems to have missed this wondering Ardius that now wants to eat my newly arriving constructor. Fleet 1 is on the attack but our of position. I gues...

I'm keeping the destroyer and escort in this fleet and sending the Frigate back to the homeworld for refit to Tooth Class.<br/> <br/> Just got the word that my Fighter Te...
