Re: Poll: Should the Civil and non-Combat Ships loose all or most of their weapon slots?

Couldn't the current slots be maintained without problem if the AI templates were tweaked a bit so that they prioritized the ships preforming their actual roles over firepower?

Re: Suggestion Thread

Any chance we can set our own behavior settings for fighters and bases like we can ships and fleets? It would be really nice to be able to set bases to launch fighters when any enemy ships appear in the area as well as setting fighters to aggressively go after anything in the area. Right now it ...

Spaceport question

In DW:U it wasn't advisable to place spaceports at every world as it tended to spread your resources too thin but I've seen people suggest that you do build spaceports at every world in DW2. Anyone know if there are downsides to doing that?

Re: About salvaged characters from escape pods

Yeah, right now they seem to be bugged. The first place that the ship that picked them up docks at will get them but they don't show up on any of the leaders screens, just on the base or world that the ships docked at.

Re: Here's what I listen to while playing DW2

Have you listened to the music from the X series of space simulation games? I really loved the soundtrack to X3:Terran Conflict and the mood for many of the tracks is so very EVE Online like and fits DW2 really well I think.

Re: Distant Worlds 2 - Latest Update (1.0.2.8)



Not a single crash yet with 1.0.2.8!
Any chance that a setting could be added to allow reducing the nebula GPU load?


Per the roadmap, we are aware of performance issues on some systems with regard to nebulas and if the low level fixes don't resolve these, we'll work on that as well as a ...

Re: Suggestion Thread

I'd love to see us be able to choose where to build bases like we could in DW:U, whether it's just where in orbit of a planet or moon or in deep space.

I'd also like to have some kind of option to reduce the GPU load that nebula have. My GTX Titan X goes from mid-40c to nearly 70c in the span of ...

Yeah that is kind of odd. Do you have your components filtered in a way that those modules are hidden?

I will give it a try! Is this supposed to retroactively help on my saves from 1.0.2.4 or should I just consider those saves gone?

How good are the fighters in DW2?

I remember the fighters being quite potent in DW:U and I usually kept my Spaceports and Defense Bases with lots of hangers, but the fighters in DW2 seem to get hit pretty easily. How are fighters at the various tech levels? Can they be a primary means of defense and offense or only something to ...

Re: [1.0.2.6]CTD - Few crashed reports

Yeah I didn't crash at all on the last version but I have started to on 1.0.2.6. Unfortunately the crashes on this version seem to be generating upwards of 10 crash logs per crash. I've had one on zooming in and several on trying to save.

EDIT: I think this is no longer relevant, I believe my ...

Possible bug or oversight with Defense Bases

I noticed that on the research tree the upgraded Defense Station has fewer defense, hanger and general slots than the basic one. Is that intended?

Nebula performance

Whenever I zoom out to the region of galaxy with nebulae in view I get a very noticeable increase in GPU temperature, around 60c, but nothing terrible. However when I zoom in on a nebula more, like a system zoomed view, the temperature rockets to 70+c in seconds with the card's fan curve hitting max ...

Re: Is bombardment too powerful?

Realistically it makes sense that it would be super powerful. There's not a whole lot you can do to defend against bombardment unless you have very deep underground bunkers or you're an underwater civilization which could provide a lot of mitigation. If bombardment is too good against the AI perhaps ...
