To answer OPS question: no, the game still costs twice as much as a triple A title.

Wow. It took up to Shadows to fix this issue. Amazing.

Really? So your mining bases will be retrofited?

I ask this same question whenever a new expansion comes out:

Do civilians retrofit to newer bases and ship designs yet?

Hello, folks. I left this game quite some time ago when I found out that private ships don't retrofit themselves to newer designs. Especially mining bases.

This pissed me off.

Two expansions later, has this changed?

Thanks!

Do private ships retrofit yet?

Here's to hoping that private ships retrofit to new designs in the upcoming expansion.

78 patches. And it's still a mess.

I found my self accidentally playing Distant Worlds last night, after I told myself to stop.

<t> It appears as though I wasn't patient enough. The fleets eventually move, but they indicate "no mission", which is odd. There's other oddities as well, such as patrol mission sometimes getting erased to "no mission". Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.<br/>
<br/>
I think I've formed my ...

<t> Oh, bunk! I'm stuck with outdated mining and research stations? Is it a valid strategy just to scrap them and get the rebuilt?<br/>
<br/>
And as for the fleet thing, its not on auto. Issuing a move command shows up for a second and then the mission goes back to "no mission". Setting a patrol ...

<t> I think I got the energy thing down now. Thanks folks.<br/>

When I select a fleet, right click on a neighbouring system, and select move to [system name], the mission shows "moving to [some coordinate]" for a second, and then says "no mission". Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong ...

Thank you, Shuul. And you're most welcome.

<t> Alrighty, I read that guide, Data (thank you for that!), and I'm still not entirely sure about energy and the ships requirements.<br/>
<br/>
I did some farting around, and here's what I think is going on:<br/>
<br/>
The hyper drive requires 90. With only one reactor on my ship, my excess ...

Hi! Are you the same Litcube from egosoft forums?

I am. I am that Litcube.

<r> Re the bases: Why would a defense base need supplies? What sort of supplies? Are we talking fuel? If a base runs out of fuel, what happens? This game needs another tutorial. <E>:)</E><br/>
<br/>
Hm.. I think I'm having trouble with understanding the characteristics of fuel and energy. From ...

Thanks, man.


Why does a defensive base need a docking port?

Edit: Or cargo storage, for that matter.

Edit: Also, what do mining stations need energy collectors for if they have no weapons on them?

<t> Hey, cool guys!<br/>
<br/>
Just learning DW + RotS. I'm getting my ass handed to me. I've read the manual, done the tutorials, and read the galactopedia, so I know all the theory, I'm just having a difficult time putting it into practical use. I was hoping some bored veterans could help me out ...
