Graphics Enhancement Mod ...

Playing as pirates: When the pirate missions list, the vertical bar on the left, is set to "Showing Available Missions" and "Showing All Mission Types" it does not show available defense missions, only smuggling and attack missions are shown.

DW is not a particularly resource intensive game. My current game uses a little over 1 gig of ram and peaks at 14% CPU usage with a i7-2600K. You'd see a more noticeable improvement by using a SSD drive for the save game, and game files than between either of those CPUs.

You can play in windowed mode with a custom resolution by editing the Startup.ini file in the game's directory.

If you purchased the game from the steam, you get updates from steam automatically. The updates on this site are for those who purchased the game from other places, and thus have a serial number.

From what you have said it sounds like you have it set to show latest buildable designs, and the auto upgrade button made the design larger than you can build.

Related to explorers, I'm having the problem of them exploring systems without exploring the ruins when set to explore a sector. It has happened a number of times in my current game.

That is working as intended. If you have multiple wonders that give a develop bonus, only the highest bonus is applied.

How will tractor beams behave if a ship is set to standoff, but is trying to board a enemy ship? Will they push based on the standoff setting or will they pull to capture?

I think, but am not certain, that this happens more on pages that are refreshed. The more frequently refreshed tabs seem to be the ones with ...

For the fleet range icons, is only the buttons on the fleet UI changed, or did you also change the fleet range map overlay?

Not me unfortunately , whoever it is, is going to have a hard time if the human alliance does declare war. The fact that both the humans and tairoshans are already at war probably makes that less likely.

The 2nd video needs to be added to the playlist as well

Thanks, any information on the limits to the number of characters?

<r> In an older thread Erik posted:
<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Erik Rutins<br/>
...to limit this a bit: overall number of characters you can have in an empire of your size, number of characters you already have for that character role, etc.

Can anyone give me ...

Thanks, I didn't know that. I guess I can stop waiting for my population to grow to build spaceports.

<t> Some questions:<br/>
Is the reactive armor effect applied before or after the 50% damage to armor penalty of rail guns?<br/>
How does the 50% damage to armor penalty stack with damage control?<br/>
In what order are the effects of damage control, damage to armor penalty, and reactive armor ...

Do the pirates hidden bases, ect. benefit from that build rate too, or do they have a different build rate?

Is Larry on vacation or something? There haven't been any videos on his channel for a week.
