Little disturbing things

Hello,

Idle ships list:
Again and again I stumble over ships, which are in building process, but when they are at 40%+ they cannot be distinguished from other idle ships.
So why not have a different approach like for example:
1.) implement a progress bar (Would be great)

Re: Stations / Ships / Creatures hidden by Planets

Well, well, 11K, you are creating extrem super Earth like planets ...
I was in the range of 2.5K (Moons) to about 8.5K.

But never the less, I would say "hard coding" is definitly NOT a good idea. I would expect, that something like that can be fixed, as it is quite annoying, if you don't see the ...

Re: Stations / Ships / Creatures hidden by Planets

Hi rxnnxs.

thanks for your reply.

Actually, your comment "If you make them too small, ships can not colonizie or land." would suggest, that there is a mechanism to define the outer border of a planet like object. The problem ist, that this mechanism is not adjusting when the size of the planet is ...

Explore system command not working with asteroids

Game version 1.2.2.0

Hello,

since having installed game version 1.2.2.0, I noticed, that the command "Explore system" doesn't work in every case. For some systems I noticed, that maybe one or more asteroids of an asteroid field have not been explored when the explorer ship claims to have finished ...

Stations / Ships / Creatures hidden by Planets

Game version 1.2.2.0

Hello,

I noticed more and more that under some conditions stations, ships, creatures, etc can be behind some planets and therefore are not visible when I am looking at a system, playing in top down view.
Lately I used "Game Editor" to modify the Galaxy of a new Game and I ...

Re: Give us way points instead of pathfinding!

Hello MaximKI,

the manual download at GOG only provides version 1.2.0.5.1. I don't know if GOG GALAXY does provide a later update, as I don't use GOG GALAXY.

If this update is available, I'll check it out.

Best regards,
Tom

Re: Resource Management of the colonies, starports etc

Hello MaximKI,

thanks for your reply. I noticed, that at least the input of "maintain" resources seems to be fixed with on of the last updates.
As I am managing the resource by hand now, I cannot tell, if the resource distribution of the automatic management is still leaving planets without ...

Give us way points instead of pathfinding!

Hello, I am playing using the latest GOG-version (1.2.0.5.1), but pathfinding is still a issue.
For example:
I have a fleet beside a planet in a solar system inside a nebula. Now, I want to move near the sun:
Jump to sun.jpg

and the AI is doing this:
Jump to sun via another solar system.jpg ...

AI is bleeding one of my colonies to death

Hi,

DW2 version 1.2.0.5 gog-version.

I am playing Human race and colonized an "Ancient slave colony" some time ago. It is a continental colony and there have been about 2000M Human and some Boskara settlers on this colony. So I decided to let the AI resettle the Boskara settlers to something more ...

Resource Management of the colonies, starports etc

Hello,

I have trouble managing the resource for colonies and star ports, etc. As long as the resources are automatically managed, so many of my colonies do not have any building resources at all, while the mining stations are overflowing with the resources.
As this behaviour is delaying me very ...

same for me. I don't like it either. A static nebula would be totally sufficient.

The game became slower and started to lag as I conquered the galaxy and now it is constantly lagging and very slow. Soon the game will ...
