Out of curiosity do you have any plans to expand or drastically alter ship weapons?


Not at this time. The recent balance patch jostled a lot of things and did modify a few weapons (the Keterov Krusher got brought in line with similar tier weapons for range/damage...it was nearly two tiers ...

EM versions prior to 2.2.1.3 do not support 0.9.* DWUR for EM

I have the newest version but I figured out what I did wrong. Thanks!

Was attempting to try out your mod but I keep getting an error when I attempt to load your mod. This is what the error dump recorded:

System.ApplicationException: Could not read Type at line 120 of file D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Distant Worlds Universe\Customization\DWUR ...

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?

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 ...

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?

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Any chance that a setting could be added to allow reducing the nebula GPU load?

I definitely concur, I'm really enjoying it and can't wait to see what comes next for DW2!

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?

Is it possible to choose where to build bases like you could in DW:U? I mean like where in orbit around a planet.

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 ...

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 ...

If anyone knows of a way to reduce the GPU load with nebulae I would be extremely grateful!
