<t> Ship designs are set in text files. Most suggest to use the AI mod to reduce the player's opportunity to abuse the poor AI by using way superior designs.<br/>
Races has preferred or special government types, that also influences various traits. If you want to be a war monger, democracies are ...

<t> I do not think the exact workings are well known. The Atuuk, are if I remember right, extremely aggressive and reckless. They also have weak forces. They tend not to do very well. I think there are "numeric" slides behind, where these names indicate that they are on a far side of some of these ...

You got windows media player installed?

I like the external points ...

It was a wonderful sneak peak. A nice info drop about "The same, but bigger and better". And the 2020 release target was a nice info drop as well.

Now just give me some better "automated diplomacy" support...

I love the teaser. And it leaves so much more to tease!

I guess you see the results of boarding and capture.
If you look in the empire options, you should find some settings for what to do when capturing (enlist, retire...).

Pirates build ships at their spaceports, not anywhere else as far as I know.

It has 'always' been that way. I believe you can steal them if you want a specific one.

<t> In my mind, the game already has a fear mechanic. They will hate you just as much, but if you are stronger they won't dare to attack you. Unless you are at war with 4 other empires first.<br/>
<br/>
I do not think being feared makes you become less hated. But the others may not dare to express ...

<t> Something changed at least. Have you played it since last windows update? Any other signs of worms eating away your disk space? Hardly a trend, but any chance of malware or security software messing with the install?<br/>
<br/>
If it is not a windows update explanation, I would reinstall and ...

And the folder is under the steam folder in: Steam\steamapps\common\Distant Worlds Universe

<t> For fuel, it for sure helps to not have automated ships running around burning fuel. I guess I play slow enough, with no moving ships when at peace, so that my stores are always close to full. And in the areas of operation during war, resupply ships fix the issues created by many fleets needing ...

<t> Some random ideas, I have not played for quite a while...<br/>
<br/>
- Pirate hunt. Spying seems work intensive and slow. I would focus on long range scanners to see their travel lines. I know their base is on a fuel source. If their course is towards my colony/mine whatever, the other end is ...

<t> My main defense against pirates: <br/>
<br/>
Colonies, try to defend them, but it breaks down fast if you got more than one in the early game. Defend the home system, keep the pirates busy by rebuilding the mines they attack there. They will visit, they will learn about the mines, they will ...

<t> The troops are no issue, but "at war with own species" can be a very high unhappiness modifiers to a colony (I think it varies by the race), which may make certain races prone to revolting in those cases. That is, the colony may revolt, it may defect, but your troops will not be affected unless ...

<t> When it comes to making trouble, from the colony screen you can get all the modifiers to happiness and see why they are so unhappy. The same in diplomacy (although that is a bit more clouded). Recent combat is one such unhappiness modifier, not enjoying your race and style of government are ...

<t> They can invade any planet, regardless of type and colonization tech. And a colony who's main population is not of your race (and large enough to build colony ships), can build ships and colonize worlds of the native type of that population.<br/>
<br/>
Then you need to consider if you want the ...

<t> The lines should be links between spaceports. I do not think they really mean all that much, but are handy when it comes to figure out where the main colonies of yourself and your enemies are.<br/>
<br/>
For the Shakturi, I do not know, as I never played it, but it should be about being ...

<r> Without mods or other trickery, there are resupply ships. They need to be researched.<br/>
<br/>
They are by default designs, rather powerful, mobile mining bases. I love them, most others seem to hate them. They need to deploy at a planet to become a resupply point. Usually you deploy at a ...
