I would also like to be able to play this game at higher resolutions. I happen to have a 5K imac... changing the resolution to play makes me want to play something else that looks nicer.

<r> I'm sure you can still win on extreme difficulty with a harsh starting world... Not my idea of a good time however <E>:)</E><br/>

Lately I've been playing irregular clusters with no pirates, and a great home system. <br/>
<br/>
Anyone played around with customizing their own race? I ...

What settings do people like the most?

I find that irregular galaxies seem to offer the most balanced start up scenario. You're still at the whims of how good an original system you get of course...

A major problem I seem to be having was fleets that were too big. When you have a fleet that has more ships than there are docking bays available, the game just shuts down. Not my idea of friendly automation.

I'm assuming refueling works exactly the same way?

Thank you. This time around it seemed to take less time and came back OK. I wonder what the difference was this time...

Hi there. I just updated my DW Shadows install, and then downloaded your mod. However, when I go to select the theme, I can see it fine. When I select it, the cursor spins, and DW becomes unresponsive. Any tips towards resolving this?

This is one of those areas of the game that induces gratuitous frustration. Why isn't the AI smart enough to take my ships to places where they can be repaired?

<t> I've been playing around with starting off in a harsh system, but I don't find it very viable on higher levels of difficulty. If you start with a tech heavy race, you can tech it up, but you just don't have an economy worth beans. With an economic heavy race, you can get your economy going but ...

<t> How do you configure your galaxy and why? I'm noticing that if you play a tech heavy race and slow tech development down, even the extreme level of difficulty is pretty easy (as you'll beat everyone else to colonizing and hyper drives).<br/>

Having lots of pirates with a harsh starting ...

I'm noticing a pattern where I get a fleet beat up, and then it seems to take forever to repair. I can build new ships faster frequently than old ships will repair or retrofit. Any suggestions on what to do about this?

<t> Another subset of pirate spam... If you have a new colony you're trying to prevent getting overrun by pirates... almost always you have to smuggle in resources. Sometimes you manage to build that defensive base. Sometimes, it gets blown up in the process of construction. Particularly if it gets ...

<t> Hi. I'd like to be able to turn off the following messages once I get into a game:<br/>
<br/>
1. Offers of protection<br/>
2. Slow construction messages<br/>
3. Pirate attack messages<br/>
<br/>
There may be more that I can't think of at the moment. I've been looking around, but I haven't ...

I'm assuming that this installer is obsolete at this point? Would it even work with windows 7?

I'm having the same issue on Windows 7. Additionally, I have no clue where to find the uninstaller.

Any suggestions?

<t> I've seen this happen a number of times now. Everything will be going along fine, and then suddenly I realize that no ships have been produced in a while. I'll open up the construction yards screen again over time (which is oddly slow to respond compared to the rest of the game, don't know if ...

<t> Hi. I've noticed that colony ship production seems to be sporadic. They don't seem to show up in the build queue in the way that other ships do, and freighters and other ships always seem to get built first. Even when I'm not building anything else, it seems that colony ship production is ...
