Well, it still happens to me that when I did not yet encounter an empire but am in its sphere of influence, I can't build anything in the region.

Generally at the game start, when another empires homeworld is that close to mine, that the spheres overlap.

<t> For me, it always depended on how fast the factions progress through the storyline. Once, I had the Shakturi in my face at about 12 colonies, the present game, they came when I was already mopping up the map.<br/>
<br/>
I stopped actively looking for them as soon as I get "Way of [...]", since ...

<t> For whatever reasons, the generating AI seems to think that clustering the player with at least another agressive race into the same sector is a good idea and results in additional fun while playing.<br/>
Because fending off some insects from the very beginning on is fun. Especially when taking ...

Agreed. Last game I played resulted in me being only able to build escorts until I realized what was wrong.

<t> Had an interestig thing last night:<br/>
<br/>
My agent can not go beyond 100% espionage skill. Every time the experience bar hits the full condition, it resets to zero and the agent stays at 100%. Considering that before 1.7.0.16 I had agents with >150% espionage, this is annoying.<br/>
Or ...

If it helps in any way, you have a fan here waiting for this to be done! [&o]

Oh dear god, how awesome is that?

Please, for the love of everything, do not abandon this project!

Eagerly awaiting this mod!

Tanks for the tip, I'll try!

Lucky you. Since two patches my game keeps getting this crappy "cursor stuck in the upper left corner" issue.

<t> Actually, it would be quite easy to avoid micromanagement in that regard:<br/>
Let the AI resettle the population with the highest development bonus and the highest population increase bonus for any given type of planet to any colony. You would need to check for two tables: developental bonus ...

This is just genius!
I strongly support the last statement, I imagine it to be easily implemented too!

<r> Right, had some time, did my own research.<br/>
Since it might be interesting for the betatesting, here the stuff I found out.<br/>
<br/>
1. You can get rid of this effect by deleting the settings files in your saves folder.<br/>
2. Autosave brings the problem back. The moment the game ...

<t> I managed to reinstall DW after a system cleanup (which by itself was an adventure) and after installing the newest patch, everytime the game is saved, the mouse cursor locks to the upper left corner of the screen (reproducibly). The only thing that helps is alt-tabbing and shutting the game ...

Interesting. I never see the star in the middle. Odd.

Hello, I'm at work and unable to check myself:

Does the game accept animated gifs or pngs?
In the sense that I would want to make animated missiles,torpedoes, beams and such. Does the game engine load and play the animations?

Thank you a lot!

<r> Sadly, I did not have the time to read all the posts, but since Mr. Data already told me to put the suggestions in here regardless of potential repetition, here you go:<br/>
<br/>
1. Civilian ships should be retrofittable. Annoying to be endgame and still have freighters with the first engine ...

<t> Keeping to the good work of asking questions...<br/>
<br/>
1. How do I get a planet above 100% development? I control all three super luxuries and play the Securan.<br/>
<br/>
2. Any idea why I can't build some facilities on certain planets? In said example, I researched the elite troop ...

<t> Okay, first post for me and I did not want to open a new thread for possibly stupid newbie-questions.<br/>

Hello everyone!<br/>
<br/>
2. <br/>
Is there any possibility to force the civilian part to retrofit their ships? Say, I managed to "get" better propulsion and storage ...
