<t> See my above thread, I had very very similar issues to yourself.<br/>
<br/>
And frankly it was making my blood boil.<br/>
<br/>
The issue you might be having is that the point where you have asked your ships to refuel at is either incapable of receiving the ships and therefore not able to ...

<t> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
Ok that's all well and good... But should that prevent my ships approaching the homeworld at sublight, which is what we are experiencing at the minute?<br/>
<br/>
It is essentially making this planet unattackable for me at the minute, by all but troop carriers. Why only troop ...

<r> After much investigation and brute force gameplaying by myself. I have finally made some headway with the AI issues.<br/>
<br/>
Yes their are issues still, some that might be resolved by the latest beta patch. But even without it, you should in theory be about to get 90% control over your ...

<t> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
I have been hammering away on my first proper try at a sandbox game of DWL.<br/>
<br/>
I have progressed to the point where I can pretty much attack anyone at will and most likely win. But just as I got to that point a strange new race appeared. The called themselves the ...

Each time a ship gets an order it's stance is changed to the default or that order.<br/>
For example every time a ship gets a patrol/escort order it's stance switches to the default you set for patrol/escort missions.<br/>

I second this, my construction ships wondering off to the other side of the universe to build a gas mining station right next to a enemy territory and getting destroyed each few minutes is not helpful.

<t> No, I don't think so.<br/>
<br/>
As far as I can see the upgrade takes the existing template design and updates all the components with their latest versions, laser 1 to laser 2 etc, this then becomes the template for all new builds. How this is implemented in terms of existing units I am not ...

Yeah I noticed that too, plus they are usually the colony that barely have enough colonists to fill the ship in the first instance.

I have a homeworld with a population of 15,000mil vs a colony with 100mil... Where would you build the colony ship?

<r> TheJian - Apologises if I appear to having a go, I don't mean too. I appreciate the help that everyone is giving. As I have said I have only been at this for 3 days now. I think the concept of the game is fantastic and is very, very well implemented. My only grief thus far is the fleet/unit ...

Right ok I think I read somewhere that there is a blue and red circle that appears to notate the areas.

I can see the blue ones but not a red one. Is there a setting to make it visible?

<t> That's not exactly helpful.<br/>
<br/>
I shouldn't need to fight my own units to get them to do as I ask. To me there seems to be to many levels of stances/postures in this game, you need only one.<br/>
<br/>
I only need a stance and a posture... and of them I need it simplifying so the AI ...

Oh sweet Jez, I had the same issue with a big fleet when invading a system, pretty much cost me the game.

I'm going to start the game up and see if I can fix this with the above suggestions.

Thank you.

Awww thanks all good stuff.

However the situation with the fleet running off when in hostile territory is the big concern for me.

I can't afford to have units that just act independently when inside of a fleet, which is what I have experience.

<r> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
First time poster, and normally I wouldn't bother but I ran into something I find somewhat bazaar in Distant Worlds Legends, and I wanted to check-in with the fan base to see if A. I am being a newbie or B. it is a bug.<br/>
<br/>
First off, only had the game a very short time ...
