Re: DW2 FAQ/QnA megathread - Ask your question here!

When lookin a galaxy map there is (bottom, middle) a view where you can see your colonies, stations and navies. Now it covers already about 1/3 of my current galaxy map most of the time.

Is there any setting to get rid of this part of view?

Adv. thanks

Re: Luxury Resources

I'm a little torn. Why there are freighters sitting around with no orders, but meanwhile I have colonies that go years without any attempts to deliver resources. I'm not so much worried about freighters, but much more about builders. I have to check those status once in a year and usually there are...

Re: Independent Colony and Pirates Question

So, I've tried setting the spawn rate to "Very Rare" and it seems to not be working that way I thought it would. In my most recent game, I ended up with 4, or 5, independent colonies all relatively close to me. Is there a way to just turn them off? Is this something that there is a mod fo...

Re: DW2 FAQ/QnA megathread - Ask your question here!

Is there any way to determine the cost to upgrade a ship? I remember, that in classic DW, if you hovered your mouse over the upgrade (fleet or ship) it should say something like: "Upgrade Destroyer to latest design (4423 credits)" But I don't see that anywhere. You could also find that in...

Is there the way to tell all my ships: "Don't fly to the dangerous locations if I don't exactly tell to do so!"?

Re: Any Tips on using Different Designs with the Same Role?

Still lot of to learn.

Setting Autodesign and Retrofit as Manual is just enough to getting not optimal but suitable result. Some manual work with each upgrade, but I can live with that.

Thanks everybody for information and being patient with me!

Re: Any Tips on using Different Designs with the Same Role?

Grrrrr... I was too hasty. I have start from the beginning. I have researched Advanced Frigate (IIRC name) and got three different types of frigate: heavy, fast and fleet. I like to use heavy only. - I do "Add design" and pick "Heavy Frigate" - I retrofit all frigates as "He...

Re: Any Tips on using Different Designs with the Same Role?

In the Design screen (where you see a list of designs) set Retrofit to Manual for your design. Make sure that the normal Frigate design has not been marked Obsolete (go to Active Buildable Designs, or to All Designs if you don't see it in the default list). That will prevent automated ships from us...

Re: Did 1.0.2.4 Make changes to early scenarios?

So same thing happened in a new game, but decided to verify integrity of local files and two files updated. I know I had two files altered, one for music and one for system names, but didn't think they would be affecting this. On restart afterwards, loaded the BEFORE save file, met the Liberated of...

Re: Commerce centers in closed economy

For me it is more or less a habit I embrace. Just put a Commerce Center everywhere, it's hurting anybody. Also in my last start-over I realized that recreation centers give a whopping 5% maintenance reduction. so I am putting them everywhere I can too :) I agree about recreation centers. I use them...
