<t> - further optimized AI ship design process to allow shrinking designs with maximum construction size while still ensuring critical components are present (e.g. weapons on military ships) <br/>

This intrigues me - does this mean that military ships limited by construction size can have a ...

<t> Since 1.9.5.5, every time I launch the game from Steam, it gives me a UAC alert and runs a launcher instead of starting the game. This is really cumbersome and tedious. I don't want to have to add the Steam version of Distant Worlds to Steam as a non-Steam game.<br/>
<br/>
How can I make Steam ...

<t> I tried recording Distant Worlds Universe with FRAPS 3.5.99 and also had problems, but it wasn't a black screen. The galaxy map showed up, along with a few parts of the UI, but most of the UI was missing. This happened whether I recorded Distant Worlds in full screen or set it to a 1600x900 ...

Any screenshot comparisons of the box in the left hand side of the screen?

I don't think it changed.

I love these mods! I'm using the blue one. I have a couple comments:<br/>
<br/>
I'm glad you mentioned that you'll be adding a larger money icon, because I have a screenshot that shows it quite large and looking super ugly.<br/>
<br/>
I think you may need to do larger ...

Are you guys for real? All that faction info and the only thing you can comment on is boobs? WTF is wrong with you?

<t> The text has always been a problem for me in this game, too--to the point that yes, I will stop playing sometimes because my tired old eyes are having trouble making out the text.<br/>
<br/>
There are a couple of problems with readability with the game. The most important one is obviously font ...

<t> The distressing thing is that I had just finished ordering a big fleet of derelicts repaired by some constructors with escorts (after previous constructors were eaten by giant kaltors), and I had just ordered retrofits for pretty much all my military ships. The save I had before this crash was ...

If you are actually building research stations *in* a black hole, then no, there is no point to that.
No information can escape the event horizon of a black hole.
Therefore, any research you do there won't be of much benefit.

I too very much appreciate the progress updates and communication about what's going on. Thanks for keeping us posted.

Permit me to add my voice to the chorus requesting easier to read text and icons at high resolutions. If I can't read the text, I can't very well play the game.

<r> Whether you have good vision or not is not an issue. The text is poorly rendered and hard to read. Here's a 2X zoomed version of one line:<br/>

<r> I bought the game today, and I haven't been able to get past the beginning of the tutorial because the text in the game is barely readable. Look at the word "technology" in this screen capture. The letters are pretty much all fuzzy and run together.<br/>
