Is there a Discord to quickly answer questions and where to start.

Greetings,
I have not played grand strategy such as this and wanted to know where I can go to 1) learn the basics, 2) find others to ask questions about mechanix and gameplay.
I have played Advanced Squad Leader since the early 90s and love its complexity and variability. Does War in the East 2 ...

Re: New Forum Tips and Issues

Nice new forum site. Looks good. I will also chime in the font is a tad small but I can live with it. Beta is looking sharp. I have a long campaign (in 1006) at max map size and its humming along nicely.

Oh man, here I am the guy who loves Torpedoes for punch and beams for close range. A spinal mount rail gun! Gonna punch thru the hull from stem to stern.

RE: Early Access planed? (please)

<r> I asked a similar question about pre paying for the game. <br/>

I will not do so with some developers but Erik is full on Indie and I am happy to support his team both> financially & early. <br/>

I know what i am 'buying into' and I am happy to wait. <br/>

RE: Question about Galactic Ship Movement

<t> I can see choke points are more viable in tight clusters where you have groups of stars separated by void spaces. That would make those edge systems very strategic and useful as fortress/barrier areas to your territory. <br/>
<br/>
A galaxy with smooth even distribution of stars would ...

Touchy subject > pre purchase.

<t> I know this is a very touchy subject so I am happy to have this topic deleted.<br/>
<br/>
Will the game be available for pre-purchase prior to release? I am not talking about buying a beta or such but rather just saying here is my money up front and get me the key when you officially release ...

RE: Distant Worlds 2 - Showcase

<t> One reason why I like the change is to make combat a bit more easy to understand. While you can assign roles for the ships you build, I would assume the ai is going to keep hull sizes tied to roles. Thus Battleships will normally be capitals, and frigates and destroyers (could be capitals but ...

RE: Bring on the Silver Bullets

I just now see the races which will be at launch. Its ok. The fine folks here are likely to mod something akin to them in within a month. Gotta hand it to the DW modding community!

So the Zenox are the technocracy? Boskara are Hive mind?

Bring on the Silver Bullets

Erik,

As a request for a, um future reveal.

Can you show us what some of the new Securan ships look like?

As the Supreme leader of the Galactic Empire of Man, "we loves us them Securans"!

Will there be the 'In Game Editor' like in DW1?

<t> I am pretty sure this is a yes as Erik was commenting about being able to start as an advanced civilization (I am still at work pretending to work) and may have missed what he said exactly. <br/>

RE: Distant worlds 2 is on Steam

Erik that is exactly why I asked. One last question. I will be purchasing thru Matrix but will distribution be handled by both or can i get the game still via my games section in Matrix or is down load thru Steam required?

Asherbury, what is the 33/33/33 rule? I am happy with it being DW1 in form and feel but more of it and clearer/cleaner.
