My key is registered and I looked there but the link to Distant Worlds just takes me to the "store" to buy the game. No DL link unless I buy it..

I will just DL from pirates and put in my key since admins havn't answered..

Thanks though

<t> Where can I re-download Distant Worlds? I bought and installed the expansion but it said it could not start the game. Had an error.<br/> I looked and looked on the website but all I found was the place to buy the game to download it? (Obviously I am not buying it again just to download it) I kno...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Erik Rutins<br/> <br/> Hi Munchies,<br/> <br/> I've had no issues with money in 1.0.4.9. What Race/Government combo were you playing?

<t> I am shelving this game for a while I am sad to say.<br/> Just played a new game with the 104.9 update.<br/> <br/> Was doing good from the start until I spent more than a year with -10k to -15k cash. But the kicker is, I had positive cash flow according to the economy page. Was floating between ...

<t> I agree<br/> <br/> But using existing pop from the planets makes those races with higher reproduction worth taking over the others with lower %.<br/> Maybe give people more of a reason to choose the not so popular races.<br/> <br/> But grabbing population out of thin air practically takes away f...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Barleyman<br/> <br/> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Dadekster<br/> <br/> Fixing the tech brokering and slowing down colonizer spam would do a lot to help the AI out imo.

<t> Or just pull a page from the Hearts of Iron series where you trade for blue prints in the different techs.<br/> <br/> You have lvl 1 shields and your neighbor has lvl 10. Well when you trade for the lvl 10 shield tech, you don't automatically get 2-9, but instead you get the tech 10 design that ...

<t> I have been away for a while(Havnt even DL the new versions), but I agree that the colonization at the beginning needs fixing.<br/> <br/> I remember not long ago I started a new game and within a year (VERY early in the game) I had over 50 volcanic planets I could colonize just because I found a...

Bad luck is all.
A new game you say, as in just a few minutes in?
Then just restart... didn't lose anything.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Litjan<br/> <br/> <br/> I disagree. We play this game with certain assumptions in the back of our heads. If something works contrary to these assumptions (however "sci-fi" they might be), we are confused, which is not a good gaming experience. People project their ...

<t> People need variety to stay interested. It is our nature.<br/> <br/> Making things more of the same is not the way to go. If you made all the weapons the same range.. well, might as well just have one weapon category.<br/> <br/> Also people, please stop trying to justify if something belongs in ...

<t> Torps shouldn't be nerfed in raw DPS. Just further diminish the damage that they do the farther they go.<br/> They are suppose to be a ball of energy after all.<br/> <br/> They have the ability to do tramendous damage at close range, similar damage (a little more/a little less/whatever) as laser...

<t> Hmm, I never payed much attention to it, but when you build a colony ship (on a newly gotten insect colony for example) does it take away the 10 million or so colonist from the planet population?<br/> <br/> Will certainly slow down the colonizing of those volcanoes/oceans with a newly acquired r...

<t> Well if you automate everything then you are playing a hands-off game and therefore you are not playing it. Just watching.<br/> But yeah, I see Tals point too.<br/> <br/> As far as the weapons go, you have other factors besides just raw DPS, EPS, and so on to consider. I have had the AI shoot do...

<t> <br/> <br/> It can colonize volcanic worlds if it was made at a planet with a race that can colonize those types. Or you found an abandoned colony ship with a different race in stasis. <br/> <br/> So if you have a planet with Boskara colonists on it for example, you will be able to colonize volc...

I learned not to look at that number in the top right of my screen.
Click on the economy screen (your flag in the middle top of the screen) to get an accurate view of income.

It said I was +12k and kept losing money, but the other screen had me at -3k which was accurate.

A tractor beam would be awesome in Taltamir's case.
Tractor his troopship that tries to slip by and pound it into dust.
