It makes me very glad you are starting to put your games on steam, because honestly your own site isn't very easy to use. Well at least I ...

37 hits and not one opinion? No yay or nay or anything?

Yay.

So you can't increase research speed by just building more and more stations? Are you kidding me? I have like 17 research stations in my home system and 3 of them are actually huge. I built those for nothing then?

<t> You have seen me make some threads on the forum for a while now. Now I am actually going to tell you what I think of the actual game.<br/>
<br/>
I have somewhat mixed feeling for it. On one hand the scale is bigger then any other game and you can really feel like you are running an actual ...

Cruisers, Capital Ships and Carriers use personal names.<br/>

Which is the reason why I insist on making my combat ships anything but those types.

For some reason a ship I just designed is given a random ship name instead of the custom name I gave it when I am looking at ships in the ship list. Any idea why this is?

Which is better? Putting contruction ships on auto and have them build mining stations and the like by them self's, or doing it yourself?

So theoretical the split in escort, destroyer and so on are only for "flavor" and technically we dont need them. ._. Thats sad for me. I hope on that point sometimes we get anything that makes the different shipclasses worth it.

You think about the fighter theorie. <br/>

Basicly yes, smaller ships who are faster and agile then bigger ones are harder to hit. But this don't count in DW so far.<br/>
Basicly hit and miss just set by the weapon, target system and ...

<t> Aren't smaller ships harder to hit in general because they are smaller in the first place? I don't think weapons like torpedos are very good against small fast ships for example. <br/>
<br/>
Also, won't a giant swarm of small ships be able to basically overwhelm an enemy in a manner that a few ...

Blockading is sometimes a way for another empire to provoke you into an attack, without a declaration of war. Your reputation with other empires will suffer.

That doesn't make sense in my game, where ...

I know that attacking another race's ships without declaring war counts as an unprovoked attack, but is the attack actually unprovoked if said ships are being used to blockade a planet you own? Will attacking said ships still give me a penalty to repuation?

<t> I am playing a game as the humans on a medium sized galaxy with 5 other races. <br/>

The game gave me 2 Sluken factions, the Dhayut's, the Naxxilians and the Atuuks [:(]<br/>

I mean what are the odds of rolling the Slukens TWICE???<br/>

What is the worst race roll you ...

<t> I am trying to understand how much fuel/energy I should put on my ships.<br/>

On the ship design screen this is this thing that says "excess energy output". Is it enough to just make sure this number is a green positive number to make sure my ships will never run out of fuel? I am trying ...

You might want to think about adding another ideology - something like Evangelists or Fundamentalists.<br/>

They would have strict laws, a preferred govt type like fascism, they would pretty much have a negative bias toward everyone ...

<r> I have lots of free time this weekend so I will be working on this mod a lot. I have already more or less finished the conservative faction.<br/>

Some things such as bonuses and penalties for the various factions will be different in the finished version then what is described for them ...

Thanks, I appear to have the mod in working order now. I will re-post again in the future if I run into more problems.

<t> I am trying to create my own custom race, but the game would not load my mod because it complained about there being no bias file. And thus I created a bias file for my mod, but after I added it to my mod folder the game won't start anymore. Removing it seems to fix my problem. Can you tell me ...

<t> While I find the artwork for the races to be impressive, I am completely baffled by how the new race portraits for the old races look nothing whatsoever like the originals. A great example is the Securans. They are suppose to be dancers and entertainers. Does the new race portrait for them make ...
