Very nice work, and only one double: Juantar

Yep, that was definatly a pain when you wanted to manually check your design, cancel and find it dissapeared ...

Don't blame the Youtube community, it's only a small minority of silly people that post provocative comments that encourage silly responses.

DW is a game that can't possibly attract that kind of people... I hope [8|]

Where have you been hiding this game?

I remember thinking the exact same thing when I found this game, and a good thing I found it too.

Neat idea, even though I found it cool when I started on the Atuuk homeworld in one game playing as the Kiadian.

I can imagine the cross-breed [:D]

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>I think blaming the AI to the exclusion of all else is wrong. The game conditions are exploitable.<br/>

AI can always be improved. That's a given. I would rather see the exploits removed first.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

I totally agree with jp on this. The main ...

Actually, I don't know about other players, but I can quite easily make a difference between a planet defended by 50 units and one defended by 500. I can't say ...

Great stuff... just finished downloading the lot, big thanks Martian

That's a very impressive looking spaceport you got there adecoy ^^

<t> I don't think there is such thing as a 'super awesome uber design'. The game is quite balanced and every advantage a weapon gives is clearly compensated by a drawback.<br/>
<br/>
The only good design is the one that suits your game style, and the best design is the one that fits the purpose ...

Disband fleet: Ship list. Sort on fleet. Not perfect, but nothing that bother me much.<br/>

Send a few ships to invade. Organize them in a fleet. Or multiselect from nearby ships with dragging a box shift/control clicking. I think I miss an option to multiselect ...

<t> I much prefer missiles over torpedoes as they don't lose power over distance and use less energy to fire. Only draw back to missiles is the size they take and the 50% less damage on armor which makes finishing off a ship sometimes difficult. I rarely lose battles with Zenox's well shielded ...

At the beginning of a game, I start with a pre-saved cutomised set which corresponds to my general gameplay and, like feelotraveller, adapt the design to the situations I come across, as well as the the new technologies I discover during the game.

<t> Gravitic Weapons... hmmm, I wonder if this implies adding a technology that would allow an empire to make a star implode into a blackhole thus sucking in and destroying all planets in it's orbit. :p<br/>
<br/>
Sounds pretty fun to me.<br/>
<br/>
Don't forget all the little features which ...

<t> I have a question regarding construction ships (didn't wanna open a new thread for it):<br/>

At the moment, I have my advisor suggest what ships to build, but I've started manually designing my ships and arming my gas, mining and construction ships to save building escorts and frigates ...

From what I've experienced, it doesn't simply give a free tech but rather a fixed amount of science research (ex: 150k in ...

Did you just buy Distant Worlds for the first time because of the 33% off sale?

Yes

And it was well worth it.

<r> I'm a new player to this game.
