<t> Thats an old one that i get since the release of Distante World Universe. <br/>
<br/>
Basically, after some time in game passenger transports stop moving my population from my crowded planets to my empty colonies, they dont emigrate either or do nothing else.<br/>
<br/>
They only work if I ...

I invite to try "very many pirates" on Extreme and see them making >1000ships in 10 years. Is like playing a tower defense game, you just hold until they overwhelm your colonies and kill the population on raids.

<t> Quantum reactors are great, but you ended up becoming to addicted on caslon making it harder to move to hydrogen on tier 6.<br/>
<br/>
I tend to analyse the galactic demand and change as it fits, but i dont like fusion reactors as i need so many to make my ships move, wasting precious space ...

i only play on hard, very hard and extreme. On extreme I tend avoid, after that last patch, as pirates went nuts with thousand ships in 10 years of game...

Tech focus is essential in early game, the only diff is that i first do that with weapons, to get starfighters, than i move to energy, research shields, energy collection and only them to warp bubble generator.

Today i set a smuggling mission for caslon on my homeworld, after 10000 delivered for 13300 credits not a single penny were taken from my state account.

Question is, who is paying the smuggling missions bill? The private sector?

<t> After several games as pre-warp empire I found the necessity to employ some new strategies in order to survive. I would like to share my early game strategy and see your opinion.<br/>
<br/>
1-From the start i modify my spaceport to contain only weapons labs, enough to employ me whole potential ...

Elliot, in the save game i have i played for 3 years without spending a single penny on ship maintenance even after building a lot of military ships.

<t> Hy, I just bought and download the Shadows expansion.<br/>
<br/>
I played a few years as a smuggler and realized that the game wasnt charging me for ship maintenance. I got no steady costs at all.<br/>
<br/>
Is that a bug or is it on purpose? Like, first few years free of maintenance?<br ...

I found that the issue was related to order the retrofit, wait for it to start, save, quit, and them reload the game.

Also I have the impression that the issue have a secondary relation with the use of the game editor.

Dont know if anyone agrees...just my 2 cents...

I need a better site to post the screeshots, the imageshack is really annoying me.

What a terribly hangover, yesterday I took office after one of the most disputed elections in Human history. I arrived at my office on the Capital at Niilgaemun 2 and looked around.<br/>
<br/>
The Niilgaemun Federation is a society made of 6 planets which ...

So, finally after several games on early versions I found DW Legends version Beta 1.7.0.14 pretty stable and played a game from start to finish. I took several screenshots and decided to make this ...

Everytime the game CTD is an intelligence action from the hidden faction...

Just checked the game files, no racial pictures or script files for a hidden faction...no ship sets either...

The problem is that the AI is stupid, it always get out of steel, gold and/or caslon and poorly uses it fleets...

Without resources the AI creates huge build quees with hundres of ships and cant spend all the money...shame for late game.

I noticed that after you annex an enemy empire the AI tend to scrap the extra ships, specially in private sector. The thing is that each ship give a tech bonus, even if that ship is totally low tech and that greatly bump the player, a clearly exploit.

I love pirates, very usefull stuff which give more life to the galaxy. Legendary pirate factions are specially challenging on early and middle game. My only suggestion is to greatly reduce their bonus by destruction so players cant farm them for tech.

<t> Hy,<br/>
<br/>
I cant dock my ships on a undeployed refuel ship. That is annoying and not gammey, as you are forced to look for a planet which has the fuel type you need, even if the ships cargo hold is full.<br/>
<br/>
Also, you risk loading the cargo hold with fuel that you dont need ...

<t> My small spaceports go for 1 of each manufact plant and 4 yards. That is very cost saving for small spaceports and work nice for private ship construction.<br/>
<br/>
My military starbases, built on orbit of my main planets, go for 15 yards and 5 plants of each. It is usefull to build ...
