My apologies if this has been answered previously, but will the previewers be receiving early access to the release build? More specifically, when might we see more content from our favorite streamers? Seriously jonesing for more videos to carry me to the 10th.

My new desktop arrives today, in anticipation of 3/10. It's not a monster powerhouse, but a healthy upgrade from my aging laptop. DW2 on a 32" monitor is going to be epic.

It just struck me: I'm wondering if the DW2 team are closet Nintendo nerds (MAR10, LOL).

Purchased here from US @$44.99. Showing same price on my Steam store.

I was prepared for a $60 price tag--and I was fine with that. [8D]

<t> Thanks for the input, Bingeling. Aside from missing my "NOT" regarding troop transport invasion settings, you confirmed much of what I said, and gave some clever tactical advice.<br/>
<br/>
So it appears I had it straight in my mind that troop compartments are required for invasion, but not ...

<t> I've got 100's of hours with the game and have been working to master full-micro play. One aspect that continues to elude me is troop ships and invasion of planets or capture of enemy ships/bases. It seems I'm always fighting to get my troop transports to attack.<br/>
<br/>
Invasion as I ...

If I was physically in your presence right now, Erik, I'd be giving you the biggest hug ever. Such awesome news.

I'm not entirely certain you'd stop at a hug, V.

I think the music is very strong and game-appropriate. Any intent to make it available for purchase?

So I got an email in my inbox saying Panzer Corps is having an anniversary sale. That sounds awesome, but it got me to thinking...why hasn't there been such a sale for Distant Worlds? I mean, it would make sense to me since it was also pretty ...

<t> The great thing about the internet is that each person can have an opinion. For instance, one might think that another's suggestion of altering the pricing structure of something as trivial as say, a video game, might be a terrible idea.<br/>
<br/>
This might be true despite the intents of the ...

<r> To the fine folks at Code Force/Matrix Games,<br/>
<br/>
First, I'm a huge fan of Distant Worlds. I think you folks deserve whatever success you've found and more. Though, with the age of the game, and additionally, the expansions, I think that you've probably leveraged the true fans of the 4X ...

I won't perpetuate the problem by debating it further. I'll simply point out that the thread was started by the developer and entitled:

RE: An update for the Distant Worlds community...

<t> Is it me, or has this thread entirely derailed? I doubt we could ever expect Erik to further update us with what this discussion has become. I'm not a mod, but could we perhaps try to stay on topic and leave the wishlisting/criticism to more appropriate threads. Thanks.<br/>

Now please ...

<t> After watching Das's newest series, I decided to follow his advice of upgrading mining bases to have weapons. Never having played with the designer much, I gave it a go. Wow, what a difference. Pirates were so much less of a concern I felt I could breathe a bit.<br/>
<br/>
However, with each ...

<t> Items for consideration:<br/>
1. When a popup for a newly colonized planet comes up, clicking on the message changes view to planet location, not colony manager.<br/>
<br/>
2. When clicking on an attack message, view switches to target ship (good) and then locks on onto it (bad, don't like ...

Agreed, your maintenance costs have gotten away from you.&nbsp; Probably too many military ships or you're trying to expand too rapidly.

Wow, I'm 23. I had no idea!

You kids get off my lawn!

<t> This has easily been my biggest complaint about DW since it came out.&nbsp; I've never found a setting that allowed for smooth zooming.&nbsp; What I don't understand is how all of the other 4x space games are smooth as silk on my machine but DW is a choppy mess.&nbsp; I've basically resigned ...

Thank you, thank you, thank you!&nbsp; I've been waiting a year-and-a-half for someone to do a LP for DW.&nbsp; I'm glad to hear you find these easier than AAR's so perhaps we'll see more.&nbsp; I really like hearing your thought process while you decide what to do.&nbsp; I ...

Has there been any word on price yet?&nbsp; I'm not sure if I'm ready for another $25 expansion.&nbsp; I enjoy RotS quite a lot, and I just waver a bit knowing I'd have 100 bucks tied up in one game.&nbsp; Kinda silly, huh?

Thanks, Data.&nbsp; I re-installed and everything seems kosher now, save for the irritating security popup.&nbsp; That's trivial though.
