Curious how you capture or have access to those abandoned hive ships? Cause i found a destroyer then another hive ship nearby system and happened to be a hive carrier. So it is in the Ion storm and wouldnt let me have access to it. It mention it is inactive like they are sleeping, so imagine if ...

I often employ a strategy of attempting to capture Hive ships as soon as they appear and incorporating the carriers into my fleet while salvaging the lesser ships to boost my research. Like many of you, I also do the same to any ancient wrecks I find and repair, especially the capital ships.

The ...

I'm in the same boat, I ordered the CMBN Engine 3 BIG BUNDLE back in 2013 and was given an activation code, but no serial #. The only other info I have are the SKU codes.

I think your ambassadors dine on Boskaran cuisine now. Traitors.

When I conqueror capitals, the ambassadors become mine- I do have the "Characters at Conquered Colonies or Bases" policy set to Change Empire. Just checked a game to be sure I wasn't imagining it.

So if they are under the Boskaran ...

My capitol wasn't conquered, my neighbors' were. But no, the same leader was in charge before & after they disappeared.

Anyone else experiencing a weird ambassador bug? I've lost two ambassadors in two separate games, both were agents of my Mortalen faction and set to manual control. Both game were set to Hard difficulty. The first ambassador was sent to the Haakonish capital which was invaded by the Boskara. I tried ...

Great idea! However, manual way points would only increase the need for dramatic improvements to the AI's pathfinding to offset the implications of this feature. Manual way point plotting would give the player a massive & unfair advantage over the AI which already struggles to implement a coherent ...

Previously, I avoided pre-warp starts because of how slow it was to get through. Between my new computer and x8 speed however, I am enjoying watching the early game fly by.


Agreed! I play DW2 at 4x speed 99% of the time, occasionally slowing down only for combat and time sensitive events that ...

Quick update and responses to the responses to my original post!

Really liking the latest official patch!

Pathfinding seems improved but still needs work. I see too many ships/fleets taking unnecessary 'scenic' routes through surrounding systems just to enter & leave systems in nebulae & ion ...

I've put a fair amount of time into DW2 since launch (~300 hours) so here is my not-adusted-for-inflation $0.02.

Path finding - Not sure if it's the latest beta but 1.87 is exhibiting some seriously silly path finding. Beyond the usual 'why would the AI plot such a ridiculous roundabout path to the ...

Good day!

I bought this game at launch and I have enjoyed every minute of it and have purchased all the DLC! Keep up the great work. Yesterday, I started a new game and I noticed a glitch, but I resolved it before I could get a saved game to replicate it. I noticed that my colony ships when ...

Yes, 8x (or even 6x) would be great!

My default is to play at 4x speed and only slow things down when combat or odd events/interactions happen.

1x by default?!? To each his own, but ain't nobody got time for that!!!

So far, so good! The DLC is an excellent value. I love the Gizureans and Quameno and the addition of the Ancient Vaults. All the improvements and additional content really rounds the game out. DW2 has come a long way since launch.

It's great having the galaxy filled with 11 unique racial empires ...

Thank you and you're welcome!

You're welcome! Yes, here you go.

Playing as Human empire. Researched Fuel Cell (v2) but traded for Mega-Density Fuel Cell tech. Only Fuel Cell (v2) is listed in Ship Design screen using 'Latest Per Category' display option. However, Mega-Density Cell is listed when sorting by 'All Components' or 'General'.

The AI auto-upgrades ...

Based on your replies it appears the only course of action would be to set the captured station (or case-specific retrofitted 'minimal' station) to manual with zero maintenance levels and let private sector vessels remove those resources at will and per the demand of my empire's economy. That does ...

I captured a few pirate space ports (in the hopes of getting their tech after retiring/scuttling) and received notifications of the resources stored in their cargo holds. I don't need the ports (or the expense of maintaining them) but want the resources.

Will I automatically receive the resources ...

Hm - why isn't there no announcment / shop-site on GOG yet ??? :(


Yes, we're two days from release and is there no page set up for this DLC on the Matrix/Slitherine, Steam or GOG sites? Not even a list price or an option to pre-order? That isn't going to help sales and the lack of official Q&A ...

Ordered! [X(]

GIVE IT TO ME, I MUST HAVE IT!!! [:D]
