Happy new year 2015 guys. Wish all the best to you all. Lots of love, understanding, mutual respect and, most importantly, peace.



I'd also like to take this particularly festive opportunity and wish Distant Worlds 2 to us all. We all know it's coming.

<t> Great news. Looking forward to playing the game AND even more playing the mods. AI improvements with regard to diplomacy and general decision-making would be much appreciated. I don't mind whether the AI improvements are introduced in the 'Universe' or by the modding community. Indeed, it is als...

<t> Ladies and Gents,<br/> <br/> I'll be leaving soon for some cool mountain camping trip .... Yes -16 c so I'll probably get my 'joy department' frozen out there but it's going to be fuuhuun!<br/> <br/> Friends, beer and watching your own piss freeze before it hits the snow. Lovely.... <br/> <br/> ...

<r> A mobile refuelling point. What could be better. Place several around the galaxy map to 'aid' your allies. Indeed, long-range scanning component is a must on any resupply ship but we all know that.... <br/> <br/> Anyways, the concept is cool, the fact that the thing is mobile is cool.... It is j...

I appreciate the idea of fighters/bombers/carriers, but, to be honest, I don't utilise those much. My new toy is an assault pod.... For both attack/capture and defence.

Phasers don't have any loss on damage per distance and are highly accurate. However, I find exceeding useful those ships of mine that have both titan beams and phaser lances.

And, of course, it's plasma thunderbolt...all and only way.

Good stuff. Thoroughly enjoying it. [;)]

<t> Guys,<br/> <br/> Just wanted to post about the option of giving/presenting ships and bases to other empires. Haven't utilised that option in my games yet. I am sure it can be quite useful to offset the balance of power in the game. To assist a weaker ally win a conflict/war against a much strong...

Yeah, a very old issue/request. Would definitely make it easier to negotiate. Less clicks and better time management.

<t> Hi guys,<br/> <br/> Start a war in order to 'liberate' a planet from your neighbour. Contact your trading partners and sell the galaxy map/technology for some cash. Contact your rather pissed off neighbour and trade some cash for peace once you get/about to get (your guys fighting down there) th...

You think that's bad... I am on diaper duty.... and that's after work and before breakfast.

I'll buy the game tomorrow no doubt... When will I be ale to sit and actually play the thing to my heart's content..... Next year? [8|]

Thanks. Knowing the exact date makes it easier to wait for it. Looking forward to the screenshots and some YouTube playthroughs by beta testers before the initial release of the expansion would be nice. Just to increase some awareness and generally impress both the knowing and unknowing.

Early - mid May would be my guess. The first week of May would be nice but I doubt it. Hope though...

Hey, thanks a lot Sirian. .

You serious about that bundle thing, arent't you.... [:D]

Bingeling, mate.... Don't think he/she/they would have broken into.... Just some opportunists taking the chance through an open welcoming door....

<t> <br/> Been playing for ages and thought new it all about the game but... <br/> <br/> Just started a brand new game with the latest beta (1.7.0.20) but I think this may be an older issue. Met several new races and initial relations are obviously quite tetchy in the negatives. All a player has to ...

<t> Thanks guys. Welcome to the forums, Kellavar. My post is just something I wanted to share.<br/> <br/> Martok, buddy... yeah must be that time of the year.<br/> <br/> My second girl. Wow.. to be honest, feel a bit old now. Has any of you young chaps seen my cane? [:D] <br/> <br/> Congrats to you ...

Just watching your let's play. Thoroughly enjoying it, mate. Good one and your mod looks quite intriguing indeed. By the way, if you don't mind me asking, where are you from?

<t> Haree78,<br/> <br/> Keep updating/upgrading the mod, mate. As I and so many others have stated on numerous occasions here on the forums, the mod is great and the game doesn't feel right to me without it any longer. And, to be honest about it, in general, I prefer playing my games without any mod...

<t> Actually, with pirates on normal/high settings make for an easy start. Firstly, kind of an abuse, but you can always start ahead of your nearby competition by getting to those independent colonies with much different planet preferential factor. You get the info from pirates about a colony and wh...

<t> Hi guys... Long time no type [;)]<br/> <br/> Been too busy with life for some time now so haven't been able to spend some quality time with DW. Always on the forum though.... reading.... plotting... Mwuahah *cough* *cough* .... <br/> <br/> Great to read some newbie posts and realize that there a...
