RE: Fleet disposition

<t> Will it remain that way after I issue a move order? I have no problem telling the whole fleet to do the same thing, the only problem is that after issuing a move order, it goes back to "engage system targets." I think I basically just want to change the default posture to engage only when ...

Fleet disposition

<t> Is it me, or is it impossible to give a fleet a default and permanent disposition. In assembling a large enough fleet to besiege a capital, I had a hell of a time keeping my ships away from the capital, in the same system, without them constantly engaging the defense batteries in small, easily ...

RE: Battlefleet Gothic

<r> Um, well, I didn't make any of the shipsets posted in here. They were done by the people who posted them. I do think that Photoshop or GIMP (free photoshop) can be used as they are just 2d pictures. The only thing really special about them is that you need to have a blue line to show where they ...

Construction yards leave behind constructing ships...

Has anyone ever seen an orbiting planet leave behind a ship in progress? I've noticed that sometimes I see pieces of ships just sitting and they are no longer in the construction queue.

Darn. Well, wouldn't hurt to get some ships done in the meantime.

RE: Battlefleet Gothic

<t> Oh, ok! Well, I wanted to play around with it a little and wasn't sure whether it was just left or not. My reasoning behind the Ultramarines being a separate race is that the Ultramarines hold a small fiefdom of planets and I kinda wanted to have groups of three friendly races so that the poor ...

RE: Battlefleet Gothic

<t> Ok, so I used Excel to organize the races.txt file and then reexported the file back to a comma separated valued text file. This is what came out and it seems to be making DW unable to create a galaxy. I noticed that there are no longer spaces between the middle numbers. Does anyone see any ...

RE: Making new race flags

No worries! If you try it out, let me know if I got all the steps right. I'm sure it'd be more helpful if it were entirely correct :)

RE: Battlefleet Gothic

<r> I think I'll take over this mod for a little. I've merged the Imperium ships with the rest of the mod and am working on the races.txt file. I've made a few changes and am working on some race pics. Here are all the races I've included thus far. I still need two more to fill in Shandar and Ugnari ...

RE: Making new race flags

<r> Hey Igard, thanks for the reply!<br/>
<br/>
I was actually able to figure it out after a few hours. I think they greyscale was an issue, as you said, but the other thing that was a problem was that my white wasn't set as transparent. I found that the easiest way to make these flags is to <br ...

Human pre-made starting system - I find myself frequently playing human and wanting to start off in our solar system. Is there anyway to make an option for humans to start off in their own, pre-made system. I feel like that'd be more like a story ...

RE: Distant Worlds: Return of the Shakturi

<t> Having just found this expansion thread (I am not good at forums...), I am quite excited for this release. Naturally, I will buy it the instant it is out.<br/>

I would like to comment on wormholes or the like. I do think that they would add a very interesting aspect to the game. As with ...

Making new race flags

<t> Ok, I'm trying to make a new race flag for the Imperium of Man. I took a .jpg and in OpenOffice Draw I resized it and exported it as a .wmf. I think I must need to do something with transparency or something because in game it shows up with the eagle as the right color but the rest of it is ...

Awesome. I'm pumped about the expansion then. I just thought that ship to ship battles like the days of yore would be cool with boarding vessels pouring forth to disembark grizzled space marines to capture enemy vessels would be awesome ...
