Thanks... Great work

But with only one ship design per class. It is hard and uneconomical to have every military ship with bombs. I can't make a special cruiser with just bombs and another cruiser with just beams.

<t> Can we possibly add another ship class that specializes in planetary bombardment? <br/>
<br/>
Right now, capturing a planet takes too much time with troops. It will take forever to wipe out a 20+ colony empire with just troops. Planetary bombardment is a great idea that is already implemented ...

Just another quick and easy UI improvement. In the selection panel, can you possibly add the selected ship location? I mean add the name of the system if the ship is stationed there.

As far as I know, I works very easy:<br/>
Go into research.<br/>
Select "Leave automation ON"<br/>
Select your new research project<br/>
Close window.<br/>
<br/>
Then it is automated again, but nevertheless YOUR project has priority ...

Anyway to change the order of research without deselecting tech and re-selecting them in the new order?

I still wish someone would do a modern version of Stars!. That game IMHO is the best turn based 4x game.

I think all weapon components should have higher maintenance costs than now.

I just started a thread about the same thing

Thanks a ton. Makes much more sense now.

What is the advantage of using one over just letting your ships refuel at the gas mining stations?

I really wish that we can have the same information in the victory conditions screen be displayed in historical graph format so we can track the changes to our empire's growth. Is it too late to wish for such a feature?

This game is a real fun 4x gem. It is worth every penny

The problem is that we can build enough labs to reach max capacity, but the AI does not. This way everyone is capable of having enough labs. For a human it amounts to clicking the > button a few less times when building designs...not a big deal ...

Planets normally regenerate back to their original value. Which further emphasizes the uselessness of the terraforming facility

As this facility currently stands it is a fairly useless one. It only helps restore planet quality after a disaster. Anyway we can possibly make this facility more useful? How about allowing it to improve the baseline of a planet's quality?

Why?? It is very easy to generate large research points. Whether the empire can actually preform ...

1- Research is too cheap economically. What I mean is that maintenance costs for research labs are too low. IMHO, each research lab should have annual maintenance cost of 20K cr or something ...

<r> I don't like the idea that every empire in the mid-game onwards is researching at the max research cap. This is just unrealistic. <B><s>[b]</s>Either the cap is too low or RPs are too easy to generate.<e>[/b]</e></B><br/>

I think we can borrow something from SoTS in terms of research ...

<t> I just bought DW-U and I feel it is a great 4X game. I feel that other than improved diplomacy, UI improvements, and couple of balance changes; the game is excellent as is. You can always improve something and the cycle never ends. Therefore, I think it is time to start a new game ASAP. The new ...
