Dang nabbit... I like slow tech development... saves me from retooling my ships every 30 seconds.

<t> I'm trying to get a respectible story-game of RoTS going, and not having much luck.<br/>
How it's worked out twice so far is:<br/>
1) I spread a trade empire across the galaxy.<br/>
2) I start muscling out smaller empires (hostile takovers)<br/>
3) Shakturi appear. Since they are an, ahem ...

<t> Some things I'd like to see for modding:<br/>
An ability to designate items in the economy.<br/>
An ability to designate tech that allows (perhaps costly or slow) conversion between two different items.<br/>
eg: Ocean world XYZ has water.<br/>
With "Mass Electrolysis Tech", they can break ...

<t> Fuel must be refined, filtered, purified...<br/>
<br/>
Not just any hydrogen will do.&nbsp; You need that fancy Deterium brand of the stuff.&nbsp; Oh, the extractors can get the stuff close to pure (parts per thousand), but you still need a final pass through fractional distallation to get to ...

One particular time that you cannot upgrade a port is when its construction is unfinished.

You must let the builders put all the nuts and bolts together before you can tell em they got it wrong...

Only item I didn't see in the list that I kinda want to see was linking materials supply/demand to the galaxy map -- see what regions are short in what items so I can proactively attack shortages without building a mine on every planet.

<t> Nah. To be honest, I'd be happy with just a galaxy map view that showed supply and demand for items. If gold is in short supply in a region, it'd show up, and then I send a construction ship out to any handy gold-bearing planets in that region -- problem solved. Might even do to make spotting ...

<t> Many, many kudos to the makers of Distant World.&nbsp; I've played it a mostly with 1400 star systems, and can honestly say that the game was put together very well.&nbsp; Yes, there are seams in the play that start to show as you start to really stress the system resources, but how they ...

<t> A construction summary does exist, for individual Ships/Bases. Click on Construction Summary underneath the ship's component list in the ship design editor.<br/>
<br/>
You can even see what a port has/needs for building stuff, if you go to the cargo pane of information for that port. It has a ...

<t> Unless it's been "fixed", the World Destroyer has an energy shortage when it starts using its beam weapons.&nbsp; Get in close, in large numbers, and with thick shields.&nbsp; After the frst several seconds it's rate of fire will drop significantly.&nbsp; Dunno if you can bait it into wasting it ...

Urk... wrong game... wrong game.... somewhere there must be a delete post button...

<r> In my opinnion, a single massive transport is of limited utility.<br/>
<br/>
1) Most planets have a single defending troop, and at most a medium port, which a single troop transport can handle at no risk.<br/>
2) Many empires will sometimes have 1-2 planets with a bundle of troops. Varies by ...

<r> Good to have the info!<br/>
<br/>
The G500 would be a corded laser mouse (lint a possible factor (which I doubt, but please check), batteries not an issue... cord might be, just be sure it's firmly connected and not frayed (again, I doubt this is the issue, but please look)). I take your ...

<r> The tips/tricks/etc thread has my outline of the Troop fleet.<br/>
In a nutshell, the transport is designed to be durable, and fast enough that its not under fire long enough to worry. I also build them in droves, so should I need to take out a well fortified target, I can do so simply by ...

<r> While in the game, press '0' on your number pad. You will get a window like this:<br/>

<t> Meh. I just see this alot. Not counting the bugs like this I've fixed at work, and not counting DW, I deal daily with 3 applications that have the same thing going for them.<br/>
<br/>
I'm also someone who pays intense attention to the UI. Things like this stand out for me -- I'd spot it even ...

<t> Firepower only works when you can afford it.&nbsp; When your income is 20k, and your expenses are 21k, you arn't building that next warship.&nbsp; And I start my games from the single colony, making a 10k-in, 11k-out a common income scenario for me.&nbsp; Annoying yes, because it's not possible ...

(Don't mind me... replying to posts at the bottom of the page, and I'm just assuming it's the last post in the thread... silly me)

I'm not too clear on what exactly you are seeing.... &nbsp; One suggestion would be to upload a save file.

Are you adding ships to a fleet before their construction completes?
