<r> I gave Aurora a chance maybe three years ago. It seemed really interesting, and extremely detailed.<br/> <br/> I started stranded in the Solar System without knowing anything. Eventually I managed to figure out how to travel to other systems, and had some mining operations going (which involved ...

It's the exchange rate from USD to CAD which is altering the expected total, it confused me too.

Oh my goodness you're right. Steam was listing USD

I bought it anyways, but at least now I don't feel dirty about it! Thanks! And sorry for this undignified public display of ineptitude!

Nevermind, miss post

<t> I'm a bit confused by all this. I own Distant Worlds, Return of the Shakturi, and Legends. I noticed the game has been brought to steam finally and I figured I aught to dip into it again.<br/> <br/> However, I have to say figuring out how to buy it is confusing. I have my $30 coupon, which is gr...

<t> I havn't played Distant Worlds since just before Legends came out. I recall being turned off (after many dozens of hours, mind you) by the lack of resource management. The games economies have so much depth, so many resources needed for ships/stations/fuel, to get things running smoothly, but al...

<t> Yeah in all honesty I find myself preferring real time. I'd even go as far as to say it's objectively superior from a design stand point. In turn based, you're essentially forced to pause every 'frame', whether you have something to do or not. Real-time with pause, allows you to control how many...

Having drifted through almost every 4X your average gamer could name, and even more they couldn't, Distant Worlds remains one of my most favorite. As for being better than Orion, I'm not sure, it's different.... I'm not sure what else to say without a more specific question =/

Time for better captchas I think

They appear after 600 years.

Well I guess the cat's out of the bag now. Though I was sure it was 750 years, at least that's how far I had to get to ever see them.

But gods is it worth it.

I've heard they can be attracted by deploying a special tech that blasts Funky Town throughout the whole known galaxy.

They may also bring cake, and be the heralds of all things delicious, but that's highly speculatory as of yet.

Yup

jambalaya!!

Sentient space breasts?

Has anyone tried playing with the largest map with very few stars and potential colonies turned way up?

Might cut down on excess resources while still maintaining the same amount of viable colonies.

<t> This game is in an of it self an artificial challenge. Every game that has ever existed is an artificial challenge. That's exactly what a game is, a set of artificial rules structured in such a way to obstruct, resist, and challenge the player. Whether it's Codeforce's 'default' rule set or your...

<t> Don't be too hard on yourself, the game is difficult to learn, the documentation spotty and the interface is not very intuitive.<br/> <br/> When I first picked this game up I didn't really like it, I put it down for a few months until one day when I was really bored. The first time I went in wit...
