in a bureaucracy, refunds cost more than what was refunded

I like it, but there is one thing i think should be changed. all internal bays should be compatible with 'general' components. external ones being weapons/sensor/engine exclusive makes sense, but general components should be able to slot anywhere inside there is room.

How about an option to filter civilian ships being attacked (i dont care about private transports that fly to pirate bases or gavillex nests), and/or your scouts. the alert is useless, yer not gonna respond to these once you hit even early mid game, and it muddies the water making it harder to pick ...

Star marine barracks are 'crew quarters' despite having no crew. so after you develop the tech and hit 'upgrade' none of yer ships will have crew. and if looking at 'latest component of each category' you are left with 0 actual functional crew quarters to choose from.

have to choose to view all ...

I have been pining for a sequel to DW for years... and that si funny cause i had zero idea this was in development until 20hr before launch. which was an awesome surprise, and obviously i scooped it instantly.

there are a number of things i find annoying; lack of information for many things ...

today i have had 3 hard crashes (shutting down my entire system) within 5 minutes of loading the game up. and a bonus 2 crashes (only ctd) while trying to load the game itself. nothing has changed between yesterday and today.

edit - took three more tries to get the game to load, and now that im ...

in a similar vein, i think planets and asteroids should rotate MUCH slower, to create the illusion of movement without it looking so silly they always just spin in place.

So, the boskara home system seems to be borked in my game. first off, it took a LONG time for the empire card to display their race/planet icon or to show their empire flag. i actually thought they were independents for a long time. when i go to my notice filter, they are at the end of the list ...

New leader portraits. Tons of them. Perhaps also a random portrait folder, mebbe divided by gender. But seriously, having all leaders looks the same is easily the lamest thing in this game. I downloaded the portrait mod for humans, but they all looked, well, bad.

I have not been able to find a concise list of what, exactly, the various story optins add to the game. Is there one?

Thanks for the responses. I abandoned that game, but will keep your tips in mind.

<t> So I found one of those huge alien relics, and I built a defense base next to it, but it won't fire. It has weapons, energy, fuel, even fighters, but when my constructor repairing the ship is attacked my defense base does nothing. When i select it there is no targeting reticle, nor any commands ...

<t> The computer knows... but it doesn't seem to take it into consideration at all. Sending my high sabatoge guys on espianoge missions, and vice versa.<br/>

The help file tells you which traits affect which mission types. Maybe it was the shadows mod guide. Look in the 'manuals' sub folder ...

Does this work with the .11 patch?

My favorite race is humans, and there are enough pictures available I don't have to speculate ;p

<t> Elliot, there are no hostile forces in that system, and the only fleets that call the 'sending' system home have no missions. There are no attack targets. Toggling fleet posture does remove the arrow... but there is no fleet attacking that system, and nothing to attack there anyway.<br/>

Here is a screenie, I don't think that is what you are talking about.

<t> I saw it on the list, but thought I would reiterate; marking systems to avoid would make life MUCH easier. Tired of watching my patrols feed themselves to a pirate base one at a time, or sitting in another empires territory pissing off trading partners, or even watching civilian ships try to ...

<t> There are a number of little things I am unclear about, and instead of making fifty different posts I thought I would just put them here as I recall or encounter them.<br/>

Currently, I am curious as to what the meaning of a large red arrow between my home system and a newly conquered ...

<t> I find that having bases on 'point blank' seems to delay them opening fire, often long enough for raiders or transports to make landfall. Since I set them to 'all weapons' they seem to shoot a lot earlier. I could be mistaken, but anecdotally I think 'all weapons' is much better than 'point ...
