double post. weird forum stuff or misclick.

<t> I share the concerns of Kayoz and while I do not necessarily agree with his aggressive approach in voicing them, I find it even less appealing the kind of defense Josh tries to put up against that.<br/>
<br/>
I prefer not to criticize kickstarters too much as I believe that everyone should ...

<t> So many very good observations and i could add at least a dozen more of my own.<br/>
<br/>
That is, if I ever muster my strength to do it. Until then:<br/>
<br/>
Most of this thread +1.<br/>
<br/>
My most important wish:<br/>
I would be happy to see a dev that collects and posts user ...

<t> I do believe, that the rorschach thing they have is 100% community effort.<br/>
<br/>
Nothing really stops you from creating a similar wiki site for DW as well. The reason i do not bother with things like that is that i know i would not care enough to maintain it myself and in the early stages ...

<t> Any chance we get a real map size slider, that is.. MAP SIZE, as opposed to MAP DENSITY?<br/>
<br/>
I really would like some huge games, but the fact that even the simpliest engines can cross 1/3 of the galaxy kinda takes my enthusiasm away. I would not mind if the map could be scaled 10 times ...

<t> Also a few of my personal strategies:<br/>
<br/>
I tend to start the game by redesigning pretty much everything.<br/>
- Mining bases get increased shields (600ish) and a firepower of at least 40, with a few extra energy collectors to compensate. This ensures they can deal with any single ...

<r> I figured we could start a thread like this to create a common place for all those design related discussions. This thread is intended to be a place for design related tips and tricks, based on what we find to be working.<br/>
<br/>
- Bases built at colonies require little to no fuel/cargo ...

<r> Definitely pro-MP here. Ironically enough, DW is a game that would be ideally suited for MP gaming, as it is played in real time. Sure the games would be long, but you know what? I have played week long SE4 PbEM/ PbW matches, i've played SOTS and CIV4 MP games that did span multiple sessions ...

<r> Actually, you can have 5 different sized escort designs even with 1.0.2. It is because the way they are handled now, that you only see the latest design by default, even if there are more of the same type that are not obsolete.<br/>
<br/>
This will get fixed/changed in 1.0.3 however, according ...

<t> Here is a collection of issues i think require some more work.<br/>
<br/>
Most of these are not bugs, but they are not just mere suggestions either. This post is more about usability and UI issues, than it is about my wishlist for additional features.<br/>
<br/>
Warning, wall of text incoming ...

<t> Symptom: When you 'get' a new design, either by encountering a delerict ship/base, or loading designs from an older game, you will be able to build those designs regardless of whether or not you actually have the technologies required for the various modules.<br/>
<br/>
Reproduction: 1) Start a ...

<t> Wait, definitely. Made the mistake of buying a similar space strat title the last time around based on the pretty screenshots and the vague info and i did regret it to an extent as it didnt live up to my expectations.<br/>
<br/>
I will wait for a demo, or a chance to try the game somehow. If ...

<t> I'm kinda wondering: whats the point of this thread?<br/>
<br/>
Are you annoyed by all those "WHEN?" threads? Do you fear there will be too many "IT SU*KS" threads?<br/>
<br/>
Its titled "Pre-release psychology", yet all I see here is random thoughts about how software development is a ...

Hurry up before we change our minds

<t> Sid might be overrated, but i still believe, that CIV4 is the best civ game as of today (including 1-3, the spinoffs and maybe even Alpha Centauri).. Not to say i havent had extreme amounts of fun with each one of those, but putting them all next to eachother, civ4 would easily be the best. Civ ...

We're in Eastern US time here, Digital River is in Central US time. What I expect is that it will start going live around 9AM US Central time. I believe it should be fully live by around 10AM US Central time, unless we run into any unexpected ...

3. All your base belong to us.

You mean: "All your base ARE belong to us." right?

Well, we just heard back. Retail has not yet reached enough stores for them to consider it widely available, so we are sticking with the planned release date tomorrow (November 24th). We will set this live in our online store as soon as we ...

Erik, please make your download available by 0600 Pacific Time on Wednesday. That way I can start the download at home in the morning before leaving for work, and playing after dinner.
