Personally I like this one far better.

You can zoom pretty far in-close and far away.

Large-galaxy Galactic-scale wars can be a b**** to manage. For example: in my 15x15 sector, 700-star game where I control half the galaxy and primary enemy controls the other half, I have multiple engagements occurring simultaneously. As a ...

<t> @Osito: You are right it is not a big deal. Just convenient to be able to.<br/>

Either way I am still planning to get it. We will find out if we can run it without Steam soon enough.<br/>

did u try? I want to know too about starting game without steam in offline. (Though you can start steam in offline now without net access).<br/>
<br/>
Oh, how was strategy part of conference, many players visiting? How many followed ...

<t> No I didn't meant the offline mode.<br/>
<br/>
I was thinking when Steam is completely disconnect from where you are and you can't log on offline mode (bit crazy but you have to connect to start offline mode). Short of keeping a laptop on power all the time with offline mode. I prefer that ...

<t> I am excited about Universe and to see it on the "upcoming" list under Steam was an electrifying shock!<br/>
<br/>
Now I have just one question about registering it on steam. Will you get a Distant Worlds Universe exe file that you can run without logging on Steam? (Useful for various reasons ...

I see that some of my suggestion has been taken serious and good work with patch!

In RotS I am finding Ocean planets quite common, and the races that inhabit them are certainly not the worst off. Races that can only colonize Continental are at the biggest disadvantage at the start. However, some of the races able to inhabit ...

<t> Actually it is much easier than you think cmdrnarrain. Right Now I have a 88 colonies on a 500 galaxy solar system. Dhayut trading empire having a friendly relationship with everyone even the Ancient Guardian, Alliance of NPCs *didn't joined* against Shakturi, and lastly Shakturi themselves. It ...

Nice Keep up the good work.

<t> You forget one factor. I notice that Volcano, Ice, and Ocean race tend to be slow growth until they get other race under their belt. However I have seen some game where Volcano and Ice are plenty enough to allow rapid growth of a such empire to almost 25 colonies. Ocean are exception to this and ...

<t> Right now in my Dhayut Nest game, I am having so much fun building a peace empire with everyone on trading terms and begging for Mutual Defensive Agreements. Including both Ancient Guardian and Shakturi. The big reason is my empire right now without trade would die out easily.<br/>

<r> You are right data, they do take colony from the biggest, crowd colony and migration them somewhere else. However You see the place in galaxy map where red and blue meet? I own the Naxx planet with 2600 Million, barely 78 million from full. Other than being hostile with the other two Naxx colony ...

<t> The only time I ever see Ancient Guardian do anything other than mining outposts and patrol fleets is when there is a Securan, blue female alien with happy bonus*, home world within a sector or 2 causing a migration toward Securan home world.<br/>

I believe that ROTS need little more ...

<r> What happened is I found the ruin and rush to grab the Lost Colony. Only to find Ancient Guardian already had an escort in orbit around the planet to patrol and guard constructor. I had to used the game editor to "fix" it.<br/>
<br/>
Forget to mention the file name will be "Ancient Guardian ...

<r> I am talking about the behavior by automatic ship when you queue up a constructor and an escort will park next to the planet to prevent pirate attacks. As far I know from patch note Codeforce certainly don't want Ancient Guardian grabbing everything.<br/>

<t> I got a random event from a ruin and it point me to a ideal planet with good resources. The event was "A lost colony of your race has been found event".<br/>

I rushed to the location since my empire has low population growth, Dhayut, only to find out that an Ancient Guardian was patrol ...
