<t> Just wanted to chime in here, I get this exact same problem very frequently.<br/>
<br/>
Everything else works, but the scrolling messages just disappear, and when they do, nothing brings them back.<br/>
I can still see them when I go to see the message history, they are all there as if they ...

<t> I would say the game does not yet match up to SE-4 or 5 (I prefer 5 myself..) but I think that after a few more patches, better AI and more modding capability, all of which are on the way, it will. DW is closer to the GalCiv level currently than it is to the SEV level. It isn't bad by any means ...

This would definitely be a great addition.

<t> The only perspective that makes sense from is the perspective of a person playing a game. People don't think about real life like that.<br/>
<br/>
Besides, human society would never allow cloning like that to take place. If it did it would cease to be a human society.<br/>
As soon as humans ...

<t> The massive population explosion is because of the huge population growth rate. Humans default rate is 14%, which is 7 times more than it has ever been in the real world and 10 times more than it currently is.<br/>
<br/>
Insectoid races could of course have very high rates of reproduction, but ...

You are describing a completely different game. Sounds like a good game, but its not Distant Worlds.

Yeah, I know there's nothing I hate more than sharing a great gaming experience with a friend.

Ohh wait..



Multiplayer would make the game 5x better at least.

I especially like that this massive bug was found at Windus 7.

I would love a bigger overall map, 25x25 would be great.
Also would love if the scale of the solar systems was larger as well, like, more distance between everything.

But yeah, no idea if that's within the games capability.

Completely worthless systems seem to be a waste of the game's RAM, which is already experiencing issues. Perhaps the generator should decide "Why is this system even in the game?" before generating it, so that there aren't any purposeless ...

<t> When it comes to DW, I think of it as the game omitting the 99% of useless solar systems and only showing the ones that matter.<br/>
As a&nbsp; way to rationalize there being only 1400 stars.<br/>
<br/>
But yeah, if there's only 1/7th of the systems that have habitable planets... that's just ...

Also apparently bombarding a planet will cause everyone of the same races on said planet to hate you. Given that this was late in the game, if you bombarded it's likely that any target planet had half the races in the galaxy on it.

<t> The normal tech tree takes about 1500k to max out a field, but the super-weapons need 9999k to get. So, getting them from research bonuses would take a very long time and a ton of advanced ships to take apart.<br/>

Your best bet would probably be to give yourself 100 world-destroyers and ...

Colonies rebel when they are sufficiently unhappy.
I've never had it happen from switching my government, but I do always check to see how happy my colonies are first.

<t> It's true, the only way to be defeated by the AI is to let it, or maybe help.<br/>
Unless you go full auto, which just makes you another AI.<br/>
I can easily defend my empire from any number of foes and defeat them all with a single 15 ship fleet. The only difficulty is getting enough troops ...

If I were the developer I would give you a refund, then ban you from the forum and blacklist your bank account so you could never buy one of my games again.

But that's just me.

You should probably increase the pop grow a bit. 2,2% was years ago. Current tech with unlimited space would probably mean a higher number. <br/>

Maybe 2,8 ...

<r> Well, I don't want to get into projections of how cloning might affect a population growth rate, cause really that's an unknown, and whats more, the game makes no mention of it.<br/>
But, I do know that, according to wikipedia [:D] the real world peak was hit in 1963 and was 2.2%, which would ...

<t> That is a good point you make there, but in my particular case, the 600 Billion was more than 90% Human. My empire made up ~17% of the galaxy population.<br/>

I started a new game up to see how the lower reproduction rates would work and it seems pretty good to me. My Homeworld had 16B ...
