<t> This is a REALLY GOOD suggestion. I can think of a whole lot of tags that would be very helpful, yet this method adds very little micro-management because once a tag is given, it stays there...DW guys should definitely try and do this. It might require a bit of coding on their part, but the ...

Yay! I know what I'm doing this weekend.

But...does this mean that moons are still named oddly? (i.e., uniquely, not linked to a system or planet?)

thanks for all the hard work DW team!

DW Guys,

Any idea when the beta patch will go offical? Wife and kid are out of town next week, would be really excited to be able to spend some time with revamped DW...

And, thanks for all the hard work!

<t> Wait, are you guys telling me that moons still don't identify which system they're part of? Oh, DW coders, you do such great things, but...this...this is just...hard to understand. <br/>
<br/>
Moons should be named as the above folks suggested (Sol 3A, etc), really. I mean...really. Like ...

Yeah, where is everybody? Is this just the summer doldrums, or is everyone waiting for the new patch? I, for one, am in the latter camp.

Modding AI and other behaviours?

That's a tough one, probably need the source code for this.

Well...depends how it's written ...

<t> We should be able to modify EVERY VARIABLE that affects game play, in an easily accessible text file. The fewer the limits on what can and cannot be modified the better. Look to SE4 and SE5 for models on how this works to a game's advantage. In fact, I think SE5 allowed you to input complex ...

<r> IF they open up the game to non-cosmetic modding, then it has amazing potential. As it is, the only modding allowed is not nearly enough to sustain it past a short lifecyle of play, at least for me. But, if moddable, then I could see it being my go-to game for years and years...are you listening ...

EDIT: not sure why, but this went to the wrong thread...deleted. sorry!

<t> What I mean by that subject line is this: although I have not tried (yet) to mod this game, it appears to me that only the graphics of it can be modd'ed. Images, graphical effects, and so forth. I.e., no substantive aspects of gameplay, calculations, AI, or anything that, frankly, makes a real ...

<t> It is totally ridiculous that we can't effectively slaughter alien populations without massive civil morale hits. I mean, not to put too fine a point on it, but the only race that we know about, Humans, have had no problem in their history slaughtering millions of each other with little morale ...

<t> this seems like something that I suspect was already requested, but for the design components list table (the table that shows the components on a ship design), can we please have the option to compress multiple similar items? For example, instead of showing "concussion beam" four times, can it ...

Absolutely! Great game! Money well spent, no doubt in my mind. I look forward to years of playing it.

Either later today or tomorrow, depending on internal testing:<br/>

- Capped maximum corruption at a colony to 75%<br/>
- increased costs for advanced component tech - most advanced tech is roughly twice the cost of starting tech ...

This sounds like a stupid question, but if I just rename galaxy_backdrop.jpg and not replace it, will there be no background? This is what I WANT to do, because I find it makes the systems hard to see...

thanks

<t> Please please please make it so the game names moons after the planets they orbit. The moon around Arax 7 should NOT be ZT829, but instead should be Arax 7a. <br/>

Maybe I'm the only one who finds this utterly infuriating and illogical, but my mind finds it so hard to deal with this ...

<t> Issues like this are *exactly* why moddability needs to be increased as much as possible. Ideally, every variable should be able to be modded, so that some enterprising group of players can come up with a balanced mod, or a mod that reflects their own (or a well established genre's) idea of what ...

Ok, I've realized that when I play DW I can just turn off the other monitor (not 'extend the desktop' to it). Not an optimal solution, but it works....

thanks!
