The name wasn't a big issue I only noticed it cause I kept getting production stalled messages, but I was looking at the wrong Ker'rat system xD. (Seems borg start off really rough, going to set everything auto later on and see how the AI goes)

Should there be 2 Ker'rat systems for the Borg? (just noticed that then when I tried starting the scenario as them.

If the base with the damaged component has the materials needed for repair why would the planet need them too? <br/>

Good idea, I will do that when I get a chance.

Because I'm fairly sure ...

Have you checked the planet itself? The colony is what does construction for orbital bases (starport, defence base, research around colony planets).

What's the colony doing/building? I think SP will only auto repair if you have the repair module researched, otherwise it's repaird from colony (unless it's one of those random starbase/ports that are abandoned, then a constructor can repair.

Do you remember which window you opened when this happened?
Had almost the same error when I was opening a window (not sure if it was fleet or ships) couldn't reproduce it to find what it was tho.

Sending ships to 'unload troops' to a friendly colony (at time there was a rebelion)
By the time ships got there the planet owner had changed hands, yet ships will still drop their troops on the planet and increase the enemy strength.

Must be nice, I'm not even getting an Empire Influence Overlay.

By default it seems to be off. tho you can click the button (right on the top minimap bar) to show them)

<t> As Blingeling said, you can goto the colony details screen and click on the 'Troops & Characters'. Garrison will 'lock them down' on the colony so they wont get picked up. But if you have a troop transport (or any ship that can hold troops) in orbit you can transfer specific troops to the ship ...

<t> So I think I might have figured it out.<br/>
After poking around and copying the files from shadows to universe (and universe to shadows) to test. The files are fine.<br/>
Further poking showed my autoplay folder is missing the images.<br/>
Images is completely empty. Where as shadows has 4 ...

<t> One thing I noticed in previous games (have not noticed or tested in universe yet) is when you find a star map, explo ships will skip those systems, even if there are ruins there. Maybe I wasn't waiting long enough but I always seemed to have to force them to explore system/planet itself if I ...

Don't know if this will help in future playing, but I found holding control and r.click to choose the action to be a godsend.

Could a solution to this be some type of UI Scale slider

I apologise for sounding like one of those "steam no buy/play" people but I think steam never bothered me really as I have played games offline with steam countless of times already and they are not as invasive as Uplay or Origin. I ...

<t> I don't want to be the one that burst peoples 'I hate drm/steam' bubble here but for Distant Worlds Universe, all it's doing is the same as matrix games (in a dumbed down form)<br/>
All your doing is registering a key to your steam account (same way it does with your matrix account)<br/>
You ...

<r> Nope has not prevented (launching from steam / distantworlds.exe just bypasses the launcher) I also had no problems loading shadows. Tried uninstalling and seeing if that made a difference but results were same (was also still able to open the launcher on shadows after uninstalling, seems most ...

<t> Thought the steam download of distant worlds. Using autorun.exe will just open a black window where the launcher should be.<br/>
Buttons are clickable and tooltip shows if hover, just the launcher itself is completely black. Haven't tried installer from matrix download tho playing shadows ...

<t> I know I'm using steam, just for the fact I like to keep things all in the one place (I also ran the quickstart thought a shortcut there most times). Also means friends can nag me w/o having to call me to say 'hey xxxx in game yyyy now'.<br/>

As for the whole DRM thing, my guess it will ...
