<t> I automate some things not only because it helps with limiting micromanagement but also because it makes the game more challenging. Its only temporarily fun to b-line to the best techs and design killer ships that outclass everything. IF you want a fun challenging game let the AI take over ...

Would be nice if they add some graphics (not spectacular but at least functional) to that game, you need a lot of ...

<t> I want real tactical battles. I want WW1 type ships battles in space, with lines of ships and crossing T's. or at least weapon arks. I dont want 3D just slightly better graphics and sound. I want more diplomacy like a galactic council and storyline elements and scenarios. I dont want to grind ...

<t> The races are quite distinct diplomatically and politically, i like how racial/ideological blocks are often formed in the game. But i think they should be more distinct militarily and visually. I think each race should have its own tech tree not just specific racial techs. This means more ...

You appear to have a very simplistic stereotype of mainstream gamers. There is a segment of us who are interested in far more than just FPS and graphics. <br/>

I bet it was quite a shock to go from the slick Civ5 interface to DW. I imagine a standard game review would go something like: "Yet another 4x game with great potential ...

Now, this all depends on two things, How easy it is to mod the game which we will soon see and how many dedicated modders with a lot of free time actually exist, the latter is a direct function of how ...

<t> if you wish to see some impressive modding, you should check out the civilizations series, total war series, and mount&lade. <br/>

I personally think Distant worlds is the perfect platform for a comprehensive Star wars mod, that's probably what Erik would have wanted to do with distant ...

"enable RoTs and DW:L events and storyline"

Are you sure about this?

ancient guardians are a little strange for the Mass Effect universe. And all the ship graveyards...

<t> Yeah, ground battles and troops are not very well implemented.<br/>
<br/>
I've co-invaded the same planet with a "semi-ally" (trade and refueling rights). We won, he got the planet and my troops.<br/>

He invaded first. So I reloaded and I invaded first. But the same result. It seems ...

Much of Distant Worlds is inspired by Star Wars. In Star Wars, the employment of planetary shields was so effective that the Galactic Empire was forced to introduce the Death Star to overcome ...

Good point. It should be like an arms race between two tech branches.

Does anyone with modding experience know a way to dissable or nerf planetary shields in the current game build?

<t> They negate an entire branch or research (bombardmanet weapons) and they do so 100% they force weak races to have to invade with billions of troops, especially if its the capital of a empire, which has been stockpiling defensive troops since the start of the game and to top it off it gives a ...

i heard that after a few weeks that game becomes like a second job.

<t> I think this is a good time to ask this with the new Expansion in development.<br/>

Also to gauge what the community thinks about this. I feel that though DW does lot of good things when it comes to ship design, economy, automated empire management, strategic warfare, The tactical ...

As long as he didn't edit anything from the start there should be a way to tell if the save has not been modified by the edditor.<br/>

I'll be having the family round to enjoy a cool glass of vintage romulan Ale.

Im wondering if you can actually buy "Romulan Ale", like at startrek conventions or a sci-fi comic store?
