<t> I hate DRM and avoid it wherever possible. Steam itself takes away control of the product you bought and forces updates down your throat and I can not see how any sane person could ever voluntarily surrender their rights like that. And Steam Workshop is in the same vein, it takes away your ...

<t> I think most developers don't integrate modding support because it's actually really hard to implement a sufficiently modular data system compared to just hardcoding things. I hope Elliot takes the experience he gained from DW1 and plans his code with modding in mind right away so as to allow ...

Will the discount require us to enter every serial? I'm wondering because I don't think I have all my serials at hand anymore and I'm not looking forward to digging through my pile of more or less important notes, that thing has grown to a considerable size over the years.

<t> What you're doing is pretty much the "recommended" strategy for colony growth, i.e. starbases and 0% tax until max population but it sounds like you're having resource shortages. If your colonies lack strategic resources like steel it'll put a massive damper on their growth so if you see ...

Even if your planet has 300 construction speed I'd still go with the construction ship simply because using up all the planet's resources to build a base would get you those massive resource shortage penalties.

I'm sorry but please improve the readability of your post as I have no idea what you're talking about or what your problem is.

Reading this I'm actually surprised by the font complaints. I've never had any trouble reading anything and hope that any changes would be optional since I like having information compressed like that.

<t> Can we please not turn this into yet another discussion about Matrix' marketing? Thanks.<br/>

Erik, can you give us some info regarding AI modding? It was mentioned before but this is really the biggest roadblock regarding extensive overhauls because what is the point of new components ...

As someone who hasn't been keeping up with all the marketing of past DW titles, what is this contest you're talking about?

There is estimate that isn't based on pure guesswork but its not getting released in march so there isn't much point in saving anyway.

<t> For how bad the game makes them out to be I generally find them a complete non-factor. Usually they will be discovered, maybe eat the Explorer that found them, then disappear forever, never to be seen or heard from again, presumably dying to some AI empire. Buffing them would definitely make ...

I find the AI is pretty terrible at researching things so my guess would be any race that doesn't have fighters as tech focus just isn't going to go down that particular tree far enough for carriers.

<t> I just ran a test in Shadows where I modded in three admirals with 50% hyperdrive speed each and put two in one fleet and the third in a second fleet. When I send them across the universe both fleets traveled with the same speed. So they don't stack, at least in Shadows. It might be different ...

And i'm sure game can see daylight alot faster if Erik Team don't need to focus on making whole universe AI, leave this to dedicated moders. Also so good possibility of game moding bring alot more moders here later, so we get alot more fun ...

<r> From what I understand empire research potential is how much research your empire can do in total. Energy research capacity is how much of that can go to energy research, determined by the amount of energy labs you have. If you have more empire potential than weapons+energy+hightech potential or ...

How do you prelaunch fighters? I've never found an option to do so.

<t> Two possible causes:<br/>
1. The mining station had all its docking ports occupied.<br/>
2. The mining station didn't have enough fuel to resupply the entire fleet.<br/>
To keep your fleets fueled you need to ensure sufficient supply through gas mining stations. Make sure that all your ...

<t> On the matter of changing publishers I recall an interview with Elliot and Erik where they basically said that Matrix is also involved in the development process and provides beta testers so I imagine just going indy or switching to another publisher wouldn't be very prudent unless they can ...
