From my side the release could be later then early, they they squeeze the bugs !
Nothing worse then hugh day0 patch, that show the game is basicly Alpha and not released.

But that is a cigaret/toilet break.
If you don't have a pause/slowmotion the game switch from a strategy to an action game, and the one which can faster click and scroll win.

Pausable is good at singleplayer. Since a player can't check any location like the AI could do.
But on multiplayer i would suggest that you just could made a slowmotion.
With just 2 player pause is still doable, but can you imagine it with 6-8 player when anyone use plause ?

<r> Back to the Topic.<br/> Why do you differ between military and non-military ships, i don't see a difference.<br/> One got bigger weapons and less cargo, other bigger cargo and smaller weapons but they are all the same.<br/> And normaly military ships have a bigger potential to selfupgrade then o...

Then you can verify that your start chart is accurate.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: LordMM<br/> <br/> The one thing which bugged me about Distant Worlds is by the end of the game, all your ships were Either heavy cruiser or Capital ships sized.

Fuel is made from gas, but gas isn't automatical fuel.
Thats why Resupply ships are made for, And Resupply ship are the only ship which can refuel itself from gas at the cargo hold.

Would be a nice challenge for Icemania with real strong buffed Silvermist.

<t> Oh i saw AI die by Silvermists, it depend on the tech level and race.<br/> If the AI use ships with some fighters and evade tactic they may be able to destroy it.<br/> Maybe some Large Spaceports with fighter and EMP too.<br/> <br/> But all other constellations the silvermist prolly will survive...
