I would also like to see a toggle to eliminate tech trading.

Having a research trade agreement in the game would be cool, but secondary to eliminating tech trading.

Did you guys ...

I posted this before I noticed the 1.7.0.2 patch so it was the Enterprise patch (1.7.0.1).

I started a new game last night but I only have a small portion of the galaxy revealed so impossible to say whether it is improved or not at this point.

- reduced number and tech level of ships in debris fields

OMG, I love you! [:)]

I'm thrilled to see this change!!

<t> I just started playing DW again with the release of Legends so I don't recall if this was an issue in the original game or not.<br/>
<br/>
I find that my civilian freighters don't seem to understand that flying to the other end of the galaxy is not a very effective means of procuring or ...

<r> Is there a way to save some of the ship designs as opposed to all of them (other than deleting all the designs except the ones you want to save)?<br/>
<br/>
I have a set of default standard start-of-the-game designs. The problem is when I save the designs it includes all the civ ships, etc. So ...

Thanks for the replies. I was concerned posting this that I would get non-civil reponses.

I guess I'll fire the game up and see if it is fixed first of all.

If it isn't I'll need to decide if I want to buy an expansion pack so that I can then turn it off. [:D]

<t> I haven't played Distant Worlds in some time. The issue of debris fields, I'm sorry to say, really ruined the game for me as I found that early control of the debris fields dominated the strategic/operational layer of the game. That's just my opinion, ymmv.<br/>

I'm interested in ...

<t> I was primarily playing the Teekans although I've stopped because I think they're a bit unbalanced.<br/>
<br/>
Why?<br/>
<br/>
A - I like the idea of my leader being "His Supreme Cheesiness"<br/>
<br/>
B - The combine more money with less maintenance, which when I first looked at seemed to ...

<t> Who says the constructor ship is unarmed? I have weapons on my constructor ships so I don't have to send escorts.<br/>
<br/>
Again, even if you argue that the warship sitting nearby somehow claims the ship against the poor defenseless constructor ship, even though the warship that is repaired is ...

<t> As near as I can tell it will send an amount of firepower equal to the attack overmatch vs any threats. In older version it would send your whole fleet to take down one escort now if an escort with firepower 40 shows up it'll send 80 firepower to take it down (assuming you have it on 2:1 ...

<t> In my view, it is a bug in that the constructor crew while in the process of repairing the ship almost certainly has a crew on board the ship under repair. The moment the ship becomes active the ship's crew would claim control of it for your empire. If the opposing Empire wishes to claim it they ...

<t> I've noticed that the AI tends to like MEGA-Fleets (tm). I see it running around with fleets of 26-40 ships. Whereas I while have 5 fleets of 12 ships, 1-2 scout fleets, 1-2 transport fleets, for example. This gives me flexibility over the AI. If I want to crush his fleet I just bring all my ...

<t> I've been thinking (oh noes!) some more about how to make it so that the galaxy isn't swimming in resources. I already made one suggestion about having a slider that would effect the resource percentage.<br/>
<br/>
But another idea, that would likely be fairly easy to implement since planets ...

Hey wait a second, that says "upcoming expansion". Woooo hooo! I can't wait to hear more details about that!

It definitely goes to whoever sees it first, but it really should go to the construction ship that repaired it in my opinion. I mean conceivably as they're fixing the last couple of systems, they have a crew on-board ready to go.

I'd like to see this fixed.

There can definitely be more than one of each. In my current game I control two Korrabin Spices.

<t> I don't think upgrading will make a tremendous difference. I just upgraded my system, so right now I have a very high end computer (AMD 1090 OC to 4GHz, 8 GB RAM, 2xGTX 470s), and on the large and huge galaxies the game chugs very slowly in the mid to late game. Even on normal, by the late game ...

<t> Yeah they're bad, but 35-6 ... I didn't expect the outcome, granted the 27 reinforcements won the day vs the two remaining troops... it was just one of those funny moments in being Space Marshal.<br/>
