I was looking at my logistic points moving through hexes from my capital (SHQ) to my eastern front; which is where most of my units are fighting a war. I noticed the number going way down as it passed through a city. I later learned that this was the result of refocusing.

I figured that building a ...

I just bought Strategic War in Europe and I can't download it. When I try to, it says that I've made too many attempts within a short period of time. Please help!

Thanks in advance

It sounds like the benefits of having independant worlds join you is similar to having minor races join your Federation in "Birth of the Federation." Is this mostly the case? Thanks in advance.

I just doubled the cost and upkeep for all defensive structures. I'm hoping this makes the AI spend more on ships (for offense) and less on defence (planetary defences).

I have the same problem. Any ideas on how to mod the AI to be more aggressive? Thanks in advance.

I'm just getting back into the game, now that Supernova is out, and I'm trying to decide what's the best tech to start with. The construction tree looks good, but what specific tech is the best to start? Arks, to expand the range of possible ...

Per your suggestion I added a new mod, but used 500% instead of 300. Your way made a lot more sense than the way I did it originally.<br/>

I don't know of an easier way. I just went through the xml files for ships, defense, and ...

Playing that mod I haven't ever had an excess of funds. I've put a mine everywhere I can, and keep taxes low for the most part. <br/>

You're probably right about multiplying cost by a fixed percentage, rather than just adding 1000 to ...

<t> Instead of making every ship more expensive by a fixed number (1000), would it be better to increase ship cost by a percentage (like maybe 300%)?<br/>
<br/>
Sould the same increase be applied to planetary defenses, in order to balance ships vs. planets?<br/>
<br/>
also: when playing with ...

Thanks Igard, for creating Star Trek mods.

Are there any AARs on your Star Trek mods? In the games you've played so far, what were some of the differences from vanilla DW (aside from the obvious ones)? Thanks in advance

Hi guys,<br/>
<br/>
Right now we are working on updates as well as something else special. We definitely have another expansion planned after this one, beyond that I can't really discuss yet.<br/>

<t> How much does The Distant Worlds "universe" have in common with The Star Trek "universe"? I'm mainly just referring to general concepts:<br/>
<br/>
- when you play as humans (or any other race, for that matter), can you play similar to The Federation?<br/>
- does diplomacy in DW remind you of ...

There is no physical copy of the manual so unless you want the CD and case there is no advantage unless you can't burm a copy of the installation program for your own achives.

Hi, I'm about to buy Distant Worlds (and it's expansion) and I just wanted to ask if I should get the boxed version or the digital download. Is the boxed version worth the extra 10 dollars? Thanks in advance

are there political borders in DW? are there neutral zones? like the one seperating Federation space from The Romulan border in star trek? Thanks in advance

Cinamatic mode? The game is 2d.

Babylon5>ST: The Next Generation.

I just mean a mode where all identification labels are removed from ships and planets and a collasped UI.

<t> I'm looking foward to the release of DW more than I have for any title in a very long time. Every time the developers or testers answer a question, it's always exactly what I was hoping to hear!<br/>

My question is: how much will the DW universe be like the Star Trek universe? Obviously ...

I'm playing as Germany and I have no idea what to do with my navy (surface or submarines). Any advice on German naval strategy would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
