I would love it if you could manually specify stockpiles across all of your mining stations at 1 time, rather than 1 by 1 as it is now. Its been mentioned that the amount of fuel these things call for is absurd, but just as absurd is the proscribed fix (manually telling each station how much fuel to ...

I notice on the roadmap there is no mention of improving the AI, do the devs have any thoughts on this? The AI is really quite weak, and may even be bugged in the sense that AI empires seem to cripple their own economy over-building troops.

I SUSPECT, can't confirm, that the fuel consumption you see is not entirely accurate. What I mean is that if you have a big fleet that comes in for a refuel, your comsumption will go up quite a bit, but then once theyre full, the rate goes back down. Again, just a suspicion.

One thing I have had OK ...

I know I'm repeating myself here a bit but, the more I play the more I think that the "hotbar" at the bottom of the screen should be clickable and allow for the giving of orders.

As soon as you the zoom in towards an area, you get a more contextualized view of whats in a given system such as ...

It almost certainly is not doing anything to actually boost the AI, or maybe the AI is just terrible either way. On Extreme/Chaos, I consistently feel like I have won the game by the time I get to Cruiser tech even when I give the AI more advanced starts than me. They don't expand well, seem to have ...

Thank you!

3) In DW1, adding/removing specific ships to/from fleets was pretty straightforward. In current DW2, moving ships from one fleet into another is a complete micromanagement mess. I dont need to expand on this point to anyone that tries to manually manage any amount of their fleets, which begs the ...

You know you can set hotkeys, right?

Select something, hit Ctrl 1 and you bind it to the 1 key.


Maybe my post wasn't clear, but I'm pretty sure it was extremely clear.

I understand you can select different things, hotkey them, then use "backspace" to zoom into them. My entire point was that ...

Does anyone know if the effects of damage controls stack if you put multiple on your ship?

First of all, I understand that initial release does not equal state of the game 2 years down the road. Its easy to forget all the time and work that went into release Distant Worlds and turned it into Distant Worlds Universe. What I mean to say is, its unfair to expect a release version to be a ...

<t> Not sure if this has been requested before, but I would very much like to add a "System Name" column to the expansion planner window. Often I'll have my construction ships mine all the planets I want in 1 system, then move on to a different system. The problem is if I sort in the Expansion ...

Ok now Im changing the owner in the editor, and it wont actually switch empires, this is pretty game breaking, GG

I reloaded the autosave, I have 550k versus 200k defense, as the battle resolves a ton of my troops just disappear, and then the left over ones stay on the ground but become part of the other empire.. Im about to open the game editor and give myself this planet, what BS!!

<t> So I invaded the Korrabian spice planet, later a 3rd empire invaded it and took control. Now I landed troops on it once again, won the ground, but the planet remains in the control of the 3rd empire. I can see my troops on the ground (there is no battle occuring any longer), but I dont own the ...

<r> Very entertaining AAR, but your approach to the game seems <U><s>[u]</s>extremely<e>[/u]</e></U> exploitative i.e. paying pirate protection until they leave your system then canceling, as well as the mass tech selling while running at huge deficits. These are both areas of the game I struggle ...

<t> I went straight from Legends to Universe, and man the pirates in Universe are serious!! I like to play on Chaotic/Extreme, but the pirates are absolutely brutal. Even when toning down there strength, if more than 1 pirate group finds you early it is SUPER difficult to get off the ground. They ...

<t> So Im noticing that the default designs for all private sector ships only include a single reactor. I see both the upside and downside to this, but Im leaning towards including a 2nd reactor to get their speed up. More speed = more transport trips = moar profit??<br/>
<br/>
Anyone have a more ...

I also am having this issue, but I also do not have a default design for a Resort base (even though I have the Entertainment tech). I cant remember how many compartments they need etc, so I have to open DW: Legends to see how they designed them there.

MarQan, I'm not proposing anything by itself. As this thread shows I've already gone out of my comfort zone by trying settings that initially I preferred to leave alone. Collectively I'm on the most difficult settings, the only two left were ...

<t> So I started a new game, medium map with highest AI level and chaotic aggression. I gave them a slightly better tech lead start and removed colonization range limits.<br/>

At the very start of the game, I was under pressure from another civ who started about 1 sector from my cap, but ...
