Hmm, in the original DW you could technically command freighters around by selecting them along with a military ship and forming a fleet. As long as the freighter was still in that fleet you could send it anywhere. Can't you still do this in Shadows?

Cheers

<r> Thanks for all the replies, people!<br/>

@AndrewKurtz wow, that really is a bargain! Perhaps I'll get it, since there are no interesting games near release any time soon, XR is under repairs, Planet Explorers comes in February, Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous will come at some point in ...

<r> Yo people,<br/>
I don't know if anyone remembers but I used to be a constant presence on the forums a couple of years ago when the first DW came out. <br/>
<br/>
I stumbled upon a DW shadows let's play on youtube and I must say I'm pleasantly impressed at how the game has evolved! And so many ...

<t> The spy recruiting should be like in Imperium Galactica 2, where occasionally a&nbsp;spy character shows up on your doorstep and asks for a price after showing some skills. You can say yes or no. Or just make it the same way you do with admirals and generals, using the old spy system with a X ...

23, incredible, among the youngest. Guess most younger dudes prefer simpler games like a quake FPS and people more advanced in age like the more complete and complex games like D. What's the world coming to with young people loving simple stuff only....

<t> Agreed, there should be serious consequences for every evil action.<br/>
Like, if you take over an independent all of your colonies with the race of the independent or smaller numbers of your race would instantly revolt so you'd need massive amounts of troops on planets.<br/>

If you ...

<t> You MUST NOT release it without a HUGE update to pirates. Pirates are one of the MOST IMPORTANT features of the game. They should get HUGE improvements, like their own black market economy, ability to become a syndicate and more. Distant Worlds exists only because of the PIRATES. Without pirates ...

<t> Actually, from what I figured out, the dotted lines are main trade and traffic routes. They represent the direction of resource flow. So if a new colony is connected to a bigger colony nexus, they receive their resources only from there, nowhere else. Freighters travel only along that trade ...

<t> Any new features concerning PIRATES? I mean, they are a pretty BIG part of the game especially at the start, I would expect them to get a cool update. Like for example, why would they destroy freighters instead of commandeering them? When a pirate ship gets a freighter's shields down the ...

Hmm, why is there a need to buy ROTS as well? What's the point if you don't even play the ROTS expansion since the Legends expansion includes the features of that one? Just askin'
Will there at least be a bundle deal?
Nice feature list btw, looking forward to seeing it.

<t> Don't give up dude, this is too great a game to do that.<br/>
I thought I couldn't run my empire properly too at first, but I noticed that if you wait enough, it should all fix itself up. I suggest you set everything to auto and accelerate time. The AI should get you out of the crisis in a year ...

<t> Well it depends on their number of colonies I think, the bigger the empire the greater your income. So a 5 colony empire will bring you something like 5k, and a 50 colony empire 50k. Don't expect to pay off your fleet from that income. In my AAR I had subjugated about 10 or so empires of various ...

<r> Yo, anyone ever seen this kind of supernova graphic before in DW vanilla or ROTS? I've seen this picture in the first game after patching to 1.0.7, no mods installed:<br/>

<r> Hello, I've recently restarted playing DW and patched it to 1.0.7 before starting it up.<br/>
<br/>
Everything went smoothly as I started a small human empire in a 1400 star galaxy with scarce high quality worlds, restless war setting. <br/>
Most of the AI empires I had encountered at the 10 ...

Is there any possibility to force the civilian part to retrofit their ships? Say, I managed to "get" better propulsion and storage tech from my loving neighbors, and I already made new designs for the civilian ships, is there ...

<t> Cool, nice to see a new expansion so quickly. I'm expecting lots of new content and improvements and stuff.<br/>
<br/>
One question: do you need ROTS for the new expansion or is it standalone for the game? If you need ROTS, are you going to make a bundle discount of the ROTS+Expansion ...

AWESOME DUDE, really really awesome. You seldom see support for the original versions of games, most devs just focus on the add-ons and try to force players to buy the add-on for even the smallest bug fixes/enhancements.

Cheers and a pint of beer to your name!![;)]

nah, it's easily readable, one of those things you just can't have enough of.

<t> The biggest problem with DW is the fact it's so supper dupper mega uber great that players just can't wait to get their grubby paws/hands/insect appendages/tails/whatever on the next update, and so start posting 50 topics about the supposed next update. <br/>
<br/>
There, that's the major ...
