Thanks Data. I'll give it a try. Another question: Can pirates be trusted to honor their commitments?

<t> Here’s an easy question that I can’t find an answer for in the Galactopedia. Here’s the set up. I’ve often done a bit of selling and bartering with other empire leaders, and have gained components that have not been available to me, for whatever reasons. Usually after making a deal, I go to my ...

<t> I downloaded the new patch, 1.0.7.0. and started a new game. It was a quick start all random. Navigating the screen seemed a little smoother. Toward the beginning I targeted a pirate base from a distance, and gave the fleet the order to go, which it acknowledged. A smallish white notice popped ...

It works, by jumpinjimmini, it sure does. Popped right up it did all neat nice and official like. Thanks much [:)]

I've tried every approach and they all take me back to the same page. All the links are active except 1.0.7.0., which is at the top. PS. I've got a desktop, and a laptop, and they produce identical results. I'll check back in a couple of weeks. Bander

I click the link to get to the download v.1.0.7.0, but there is no hot link for that upgrade. Is there something I'm missing here? Thanks, Bander. [&:]

Good deal. Can my development be followed in any way that I can track or be aware of? I have read their unique qualities. John

<t> Quite frankly, I’m astounded by the size and breadth of Distant Worlds. Its design is a masterpiece of work. The learning curve is not overly steep, but rather long and gradual. I’ve played maybe a dozen games, and each new game begins a learning session, and it gets better and better. My own ...

<t> I haven’t been a DW player for very long, and in the course of this game a pop-up informed me that a damaged World Destroyer was at such and such a place, and I should go and repair it. Well, naturally I did just that. I didn’t know what to do with the thing, so I put it in a fleet. It wasn’t ...

<t> In the past I've always done it the straightforward way: select a constructor (one that isn't busy) right click on a black hole. A menu comes up with a list of options. I click on the research station I want, and the constructor goes and builds it. In my current game, it does not work. I think ...

<t> In a previous game I had no trouble getting a constructor to build a research base near a black hole. In fact, one black hole had at least a half dozen bases depicted by the color of the empire all nicely spaced equidistantly from the center. In this game the constructor goes to the hole and ...

<t> The easy way to find those files is click on "load game," at the top is your file path, follow that trail back to the source. It will be different for everyone because of how your file structure is organized, but it should be the same for everyone when you find: 'appdata\roaming\code force ...

<SIZE size="1"><s>[size="1"]</s>By the way, I posted the message yesterday, but could not find it today. So I&nbsp; posted another identical one today. Now I find the one from yesterday, but not the ...

<t> It seems that at every colony there is an option to build a monitoring station. But nowhere in the instructions can I find out what a monitoring station does, except maybe monitor. What is it monitoring? Should every colony have one of these? Does it have tactical significance? Does it monitor ...

<t> I've been learning the game, and am amazed at the complexity. This forum is where the real learning starts. I started your tutorial on helping new players turn off the AI. Things aren't matching up and I'm thinking I have a different version of the game. Mine is 1.0.6.0. If this is the case, a ...

Wow! Thanks folks. Great suggestions. I have been stand-offish about requests for bases, tech, etc. because I don't know whether I'm giving the store away or not. Some offers are rediculous. So I've just been saying no. I guess it goes with learning the game. Snatch.

The last game I played turned into a disaster because of my reputation. There were about twenty empires in the galaxy, and I had attained two of the three victory conditions. I did my best to play fair and avoid wars, and be nice to everyone. Of course someone, for whatever reason, would ...

Gotcha![:)] Many thanks. I expect to be around for a while, especially reading all the other posts. Later, Bandersnatch.
