Has this mod died?

Having fast engines so early in the game is one of the very few things I don't like about DW.

<t> Great information, thank you all very much!<br/>
<br/>
Regarding the suggestions on full troop ships, what is full? How many troop pods do you put on a single ship?<br/>
<br/>
Also, does putting troops on stations/bases help in preventing boarding actions?<br/>
<br/>
[EDIT] to add a ...

<t> Could someone give me some tips on the ground combat side of things? I have troop recruitment on auto but I don't want it to become a crutch causing me not to learn that side of things.<br/>
<br/>
1. Is there a good number of troops to have on each planet? <br/>
2. What combinations of ...

Just to clarify, if I set a ship stance to, for example, defend the sector around it's home planet, do I also need to put the fleet on autopilot, or is just setting the stance enough to make it defend the area?

I left taxation on auto, it's something else I need to learn.

<t> That makes sense. Still, the sudden ability to travel basically anywhere makes the galaxy feel small and the excitement of a large unknown frontier disappears.<br/>
<br/>
I play with 1400 stars 15x15 and have technology on very expensive. I don't mean to sound like a complainer, it was just a ...

<t> Is there a way to edit hyperspace efficiency or whatever sets the range?<br/>
<br/>
I figured range was more dependent on fuel cell technology, but it seems more about the hyperspace engine.<br/>
<br/>
I play prewarp and after developing the second-level hyperspace tech, I can suddenly fly ...

<r> Yeah, I was unable to build a mine, that's now when I learned the private sector cash is important.<br/>
<br/>
But since they were in debt, with a positive cash flow, and continued to go further in debt, I could only assume they were still spending money on something, but I couldn't tell what ...

Can you post a screenshot of your empire summary screen? I have experienced a bug where the cash on account of the private sector was reducing even with a positive cashflow. You might have the same bug. I've reported the bug to the lead ...

<r> My tax rate is 34% and all I did to the freighter designs was add the first warp drive and another reactor.<br/>
<br/>
If the private sector has a negative cash on hand can it still buy ships? Based on what you're saying, it sounds like my pirate problem is maybe the issue. If they are ...

<r> There are several pirates in the area and I've been fighting them off as best I can. I haven't built any mines in a while and taxes having changed.<br/>
<br/>
It shows them earning around 150K, after maintenance and taxes, their cash flow is a positive 70K+, but their current cash on hand has ...

<r> Help. <E>:-)</E><br/>
<br/>
I'm not sure what's happening. My private sector is over 500K in the red. It shows a positive cashflow of just over 70K.<br/>
<br/>
What I'm wondering about are Free Trade Agreements. I'm playing pre-warp and my freighters currently cannot reach other empires to ...

I cannot find the answer in a search or the in-game wiki.

When you open the diplomacy screen, it shows the names of all the empires down the left side. Behind the names is a colored bar of differing lengths. What does that represent?

These links aren't working anymore.

Does someone happen to have this shipset available for download?

Thanks.

Thanks.

I'll stop with the questions for now, I appreciate your help.

<t> Thanks. That makes sense, space ports get expensive.<br/>
<br/>
Just to clarify then, if I build a regular base like a small defense base or something, ships that have business with the planet it orbits will dock at it and utilize it's faster docking bays rather than all lining up for the slow ...

<r> Thank you. <E>:-)</E><br/>
<br/>
At the risk of de-railing my own thread I wonder if you can answer a question regarding planets.<br/>
<br/>
As I understand it, one of the advantages of having a space port is the extra docking and bases around a planet share the cargo somehow.<br/>
<br ...

<r> I read in another thread that they could even refuel while moving, I'll assume that's wrong then and I'll make note of always having it deployed for use, thanks. <E>:-)</E><br/>
<br/>
Is there a way to handle cargo myself, as in choosing what goes in or dumping it? It's loading both Caslon and ...

<r> Okay, not frustration, more confusion.<br/>
<br/>
I've read they can let ships dock and refuel if their cargobay is full, even if they aren't deployed at a gas giant.<br/>
<br/>
I can deploy it and ships refuel just fine. But if I try to dock/refuel without it being deployed (despite the ...

I am loving the depth in this game!

Thank you for all the answers, I do appreciate your time.
