Its a known issue and Elliot is working on that.
I am not sure tankers work at all at the moment.

Any chance you guys could share a Spotify playlist link here instead of YT?

Further question:

Does Auto Upgrade mean it CAN switch to different types within a class? Or does Retrofit do this?

Yes the effect is ‘colour banding’ to try to make a fluid gradient, but in Standard Rendering mode the gradient seems to loose alpha blending or something similar. Much like the old days where some games had to run on 16-bit colour depth, instead of 32-bit.
It also caused colour banding in gradients ...

That is a general question that requires a more detailed approach. :)

-For exploration you cannot define which star types the AI needs to investigate first, if that’s what you mean.
I do see the AI prioritizing planets and locations with a higher chance of providing something beneficial to your ...

So, does the range of the fuel tanker as shown in the design window indicate its maximum range as per carried fuel?
How can you gauge its effective range for the tanker in this case when it does its job refueling other assets in the fleet?

A thread that deserves more posts!

I too want to toss my coin into the artist's case here, so to speak.

DW2 is a great game out of the gate. Codeforce has been stomping out patches in quick succession and I have every bit of trust that DW2 will grow into the definitive real time 4x game with a ...

The latest 1.0.1.9 patch did not result in my laptop starting the game unfortunately. Just FYI.

Game version 1.0.1.8 refuses to start.
The splashscreen shows up, but then the game returns to desktop. Please see the attached files for more info.
No crashlog gets generated, just the Sessionlog.txt which Ive added alongside the dxdiag.

The beta ran fine on this system.

Great to see so many interested! Have fun, be diligent and squash those bugs! DW2 deserves a glorious release!

<r> Think of the counter in the scale of the game; the HQ counter does not portray only your leader, but officers and support/admin staff, security detail, etc.<br/>
Its easy for a few to visit their front line troops while the order for the rest of the HQ unit to remain far from the frontline.<br ...

I am running the game on a 43” 4K monitor without issues as well.
I have disabled Windows DPI scaling.

I can either run the game in Full Screen to get more map in view or I can run the game in a window.
Both are fine on my end.

I’ve run across many interesting rolls for planets and while I understand the draw of the game is the randomness, I do like to know if its possible to save certain planet rolls for later? Perhaps by copying certain gamefiles over to a safe folder ?

@DasTactic are you planning on doing a similar style UI and icon mod for this game as you did for Distant Worlds?

Understandable! At least its no frills IGO/UGO, so little hassle.
Thanks for the quick response.

<t> Over at Grogheads I am going to host a 4 player PBEM game and I am rather surprised the game does not utilize the excellent PBEM++ system from Matrix/Slitherine! Will this be supported later on?<br/>
<br/>
The manual doesn’t mention turn flow for PBEM, but is it the old fashioned way of just ...

Haven’t been able to look yet, but: even... larger... galaxy?! Wow and in 3D?! Wow^2!
I am going to need to find a quiet spot to watch the video soon!

<t> SUPER EXCITED to see us thrown a bone after all this time!<br/>
<br/>
3D looks great, but above all I hope the scope of the game won't be smaller due to this AND that the AI actually knows how to use 3D in combat. The big blobs of units bunching up on eachother in a fight is hopefully ...

Thanks for that link, Oberst Klink! Those tiles look awsomely realistic.

I like your sound mod, AstroCat, please expand on it!
