One other thing to keep in mind is that Exploration ships run at the first sign of trouble. Meaning they may move into a system, find a pirate or space monster there and quickly leave the system. This opens the system so you can see everything ...

IIRC, AoE weapons don't affect fighters. I'll have a play to test it, but I believe this was addressed in the forums a while ago. <br/>

3. How early do I need Military ships? I'm paying 800 creds to pirates every mth to keep them from destroying things, which isnt much baring in mind what my income is, but I would still rather not pay them. Should I wait until I'm strong enough ...

I found Stellaris to be uninspired. Mediocre. Bland. If you're really, truly desperate for a 4X game then sure, buy it. Otherwise, there are plenty of better 4X games on the market.

To be clear, it isn't BAD. It doesn't suck. It's just... blah.

1. True, hence the lawyer language (more specifically patent attorney language) 'at least' which covers everything from 4 to infinity.<br/>

The problem with your view is that nobody really knows what is consistent with a space environment. Based on current knowledge all we know is that it would take at least 4 years to get to the nearest star, and tens of thousands of years to get ...

your use of one of the worst of them (RISK) as a "yardstick" do not necessarily mean that every game with such a movement system is automatically rubbish.

Not really true. With starlanes you might have to travel through 3 or 4 star systems just to get to an immediately adjacent star, simply because there is no "space road" going straight to that star. This situation occurs in the new MOO game all the ...

The only important number is the last, 30, which is the percentage increase of a scientist appearing.

That's what I meant - I don't see any change in the appearance of scientists.

I haven't noticed new scientists arriving at my empire any more frequently, but this is really a judgement call. Perhaps someone can dig into the code to verify exactly what sort of boost we're supposed to get.

Sorry, not trying to harp on you. I wasn't sure how familiar you are with how economics works in DW.

What mod (if any) are you running?
