If I remember correctly in DWU I could assign a construction ship to build something and it would wait until it could get all the necessary resources then start building. It would appear that you need the required resources before you can even assign the construction ship.

Thanks

Yes I'm at the very beginning. So If I understand you correctly I need to have all the resources before I can assign my construction ship to a build mission.

Built 2 construction ships. I can build things with one of them, but can't build anything with the other. Every time I right click I only get the option to move. Is this a bug or a feature? Do I need to research more tech in order to use more than 1 construction ship?

<t> Actually I would discard giving tech to independent because that would become the default choice. Why? When you colonize an indy they become part of your empire and have access to all of your tech any way. Why pay when you can just give them a tech knowing that the planet will have access to all ...

Shark I'm curious, why do you put Luxury mining engines on Gas Mining Stations? I don't recall any Luxury Resources on Gas Planets. I could be wrong and would like to know what Luxury Resources there are on Gas Planets.

I hope they go straight to DW2 and make it 64 bit and multithreaded.

<t> Don't know if this has been asked before and to lazy to search, so my question is if I install Distant Worlds original (no patches), then Shakturi (no patches), then Legends (no patches) and finally Shadows which I do patch is my game completely patched up. I should mention that my game installs ...

Got Shadows to work, copied a working version from my laptop to my desktop and it now works. Since this method works I might try the hot fix again since I completely wiped and then reinstalled .net4 and xna from Microsoft's site before the I copied DW.

Got home applied the hotfix and now my game crashes 22 seconds into loading, give or take a couple of seconds.

Edit: Did a shadows reinstall and it still doesn't work. I'm really getting tired of doing complete Distant Worlds reinstalls. Hope this gets fixed soon.

<t> I'm using win7 64 on both computers, pro on the desktop home on the laptop.<br/>

Desktop the game is installed to my e:\games\distant worlds folder.<br/>

<r> I had to do the same fix I mentioned above (run distantworlds.exe as an administrator) on my laptop. What I did discovered is if you change the properties on the distantworlds.exe to run as administrator and then launch the game using the shortcut placed on your desktop (autorun.exe) then the ...

<t> All I know is when I used the launcher the launch menu would load, but not ask for my admin password. When I changed the DistantWorld.exe to be run as an administrator it would. For those of you out there that don't get the UAC asking for permission try what I did and it may work.<br/>
<br ...

<t> This may help some people, I couldn't get DW shadows to run. I could get to the launcher, but when I pressed play nothing. I tried everything mentioned here but updating drivers (I update those on a regular basis). Finally I checked the crash log and it mentioned something about elevated ...

<t> I know this might be heresy, but I think Distant Worlds 1 has run its course and needs to be replaced/updated. I probably would never buy the modding expansion, but I would buy Distant Worlds 2 that off loaded the graphics to the GPU, made it multi-threaded, gave me more control of military ...

You will not be able to register your game with Matrix. Explanation here: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3305070

<t> Johan is correct, basically Vic 2 is successful and PoN is not. Vic 2 is accessible and PoN is not. Vic 2 is well liked and PoN isn't. The length of time between turns in PoN is a game breaker for the majority of people, including me. I've played the game quite a bit and saw that it has a decent ...

I agree, price isn't the problem with PoN it's the lag between turns. It get so long that it is a game breaker. Unless you are willing to put up with turn processing that will take up 50% or more of the games time then it's a no buy at any price.
