Greetings,

I have almost 1000 hrs. played. Before my current save (Which started at 1.0.5.8, and is now at 1.0.6.0) I have always been able to manually garrison troops at my planets, and they stayed garrisoned forever, unless I ungarrisoned them. In this save, however, the AI just decides to ...

<t> Are some of you saying that early on (Whatever "early on" is. I dunno, warp bubble 'till 2135 maybe?) you are able to build fleets, bases and mining stations that are able to defend against absolutely relentless pirate attacks by fleets of 10-15-20 destroyers/cruisers/CS/carriers? Enough so that ...

To be honest it has fast become the best set of games so far IMHO the pirates are really aggressive, have plenty of ships and are a real challenge, playing on prewarp always used to be a bit a slow at the start, now it it is so much more ...

Pirates are simply brutal, especially if you start prewarp. <br/>
<br/>
My whole strategy centers on maximizing anti-pirate approach.<br/>
<br/>
1) Heavily armed mining stations<br/>
2) Heavily armed spaceports that are protected by a ...

I've been playing DW Shadows since release, and have applied each patch as it became available. At some point (1.9.0.6 or 7 maybe?) it seemed as though pirates suddenly became more numerous and much more difficult to deal with.<br/>
<br/>
I find myself--as well as the ...

Greetings,

Is there a way to turn off the "Construction at...stalled" warning? Heh, the constant spam is making me crazy!

AhHa! Thanks!

<br/>
So, I have a colony with a "facility" Hidden Pirate Base. How can I find\attack\remove this base?<br/>
<br/>
Actually, the broader question is, how can I attack pirates in general? Currently there are 9 pirate factions just running around wiping out my mining stations ...

<t> Thank you for the replies.<br/>

I just wanted to make sure that research stations, simply by virtue of them BEING research stations, don't provide any innate research bonus. That is to say, a research station which is not in a bonus location, and has X number of a certain lab, won't ...

<t> Greetings,<br/>
<br/>
I'm a fairly new player, but I have been of the belief that the value in research stations lay not so much in the additional labs which they provide, but rather in the player's ability to place them in locations with a research bonus (e.g. black holes, etc).<br/>

Yes, I have oodles of space ports (Bah, I misresd a previous reply, and thought Chris H said that carriers were build on planets, not space ports. Thus my description of my planetary build options. Although I still wonder about that hammer icon. /shrug)<br/>
<br/>
The ...

<t> Thank you for your replies.<br/>
<br/>
My fighter tech is at "Advanced Star Fighters", and my construction tech is at maximum (build size 1500).<br/>
<br/>
My carrier has been successfully created and saved without warning. It has not been accidentally obsoleted or deleted.<br/>
<br ...

<t> Greetings,<br/>
<br/>
I have more than the required fighter and construction techs needed in order to build carriers. However, after designing my spiffy new carrier, I can't figure out where/how to actually order one built.<br/>
<br/>
Neither the space port nor the planetary ship building ...

<t> AH HA! Thanks so much!<br/>
<br/>
I am pleased to report that my troopers are now enjoying some well deserved planet side R&R, in preparation for a full scale invasion of Uthiloy (A planet which is currently held by the nefarious Ikkuro Confederacy. They will pay for their treacherous ways. Oh ...

New player here (a little over a week now) --> Legends with latest patch.<br/>

I'm having difficulties with many aspects of the game (to be expected), but something that is absolutely driving me crazy is...<br/>

...How the heck can I off load troops from ...
