+1 several other games suffer from the same so what I did was, unburry my old 19" CRT to play these games on.
Fonts that don't scale well with higher resolution are still quite common in strategy games.

So you're complaining that you left a towel on the sun lounger on the beach, and next morning you come there to see it's already occupied? Heh, reality hits you hard

In the above screen shot, you have 250 excess energy output above the ship's static needs.<br/>
<br/>
When you are using the hyperspace engines you use 105 energy of that 250 -- so <B><s>[b]</s>145<e>[/b]</e></B> unused energy.

Nice videos, I almost freaked out when my mouse cursor started moving all by himself Then I realized it was just the one in your video lol

So the problem is, if I make my own ships.., the micromanagement of that skyrockets throughout the entire scenario.

The solution is, if you create a new game with tech maxed out (everything researched)<br/>
Ok then ...

Sorry that my writing was a bit rude. I've bought me some oropax (a noise-suppressor) and tonight I've slept more than 5 hours in a row for the first time in years.

Thanks. I want my escorts to "escort" and my capital ships to attack spaceports, because that's what they were designed for, and not reverse lol

<t> In the ship design screen, where you can select a "ship role" (in the upper left corner) you get to choose from freighters, passengers, starbase etc. but...<br/>
<br/>
When selecting from escorts, frigates, destroyers, cruisers and capships, let's talk what does it do.<br/>
Right now, all of ...

There's a race (forgot name) with +50% spy strength, does that mean they start stronger?
Their maximum agent skill might be capped at 400, but does that bonus come after the skill, if so it would be nice.

Now, that is a silly amount of resource income. I have seen short term crazy numbers, but... Also, lots of possible taxes to be had if the economy turns nasty.<br/>
<br/>
How does your escorts look? About 1k maintenance makes them look ...

<r> Maybe, just maybe the low number of spaceports is what's causing the money problem.<br/>
1) A spaceport can have a commerce center to boost tax income. (by +5%, +10% and +15%)<br/>
2) It also has docking bays to allow more than 1 ship to unload cargo at a time, which is important for an even ...

Have you tried designing your own gas/mining stations with weapons? If so, the civilian sector won't be totally defenseless against pirates.
Then you can easily scrap half your military ships to save a ton of monthly upkeep cost.

<r> 1) When you acquire a high-tech ship through exploration...<br/>
... the AI retrofits it to your design in automatic mode<br/>
<br/>
2) When a passenger ship reads "12k Sluken" Migrants onboard...<br/>
... there are actually 12M onboard.<br/>

3) When some aliens offer millions of ...

Well, AI in a game is created not to beat human players. They are created to give us the feel of riding a roller coaster. That's mean, they give us thrill, but also fun. They are not created to kill us. The problem is, our fun rating is ...

<t> When an AI battles against humans in a strategy game, it always ends that certain technologies need to be balanced, also certain prices for technologies, up to the trading of entire colonies etc... <br/>
Can't that be done easier???<br/>
<br/>
I ask myself, there's always something that a ...

please, a different hotkey for explorers and colony ships? thanks!

Thanksalot!

Have you equipped all your freighters with 1 area weapon, wait until 40 of them have docked at an alien spaceport, then declare war?

<t> Playing Distant Worlds on a freaking huge, wall-mounted Plasma is like, when you press F5 the galaxy map opens, then you can see every whole system at the same time!<br/>
But not only that, outside of the map's borders it shows the action continueing! Like, when you open the map, you see a ...

grey color, thinner font, removal of the first digit (the year thousand that doesn't ever change), it's all a possible solution.
