Is there a way to quickly merge 2 fleets into 1 ?

I don't see anything other than removing the ships one by one and adding them to the other fleet one by one.

This game spends far too much time upgrading and retrofitting ships and fleets. .....


Completely agree. Even the most minor tech you don't care about forces fleets to come running in for a retrofit, leaving you high and dry. While I don't expect the A.I. to be overly strategic due to the ...

After reading through this entire thread, I get a strong sense that the Developers have no real intention of supporting Modding of this simulation in any meaningful manner. The ability to change resources such as fonts or colors and other trivial aesthetics, or to change settings files is not ...

I generally think there are too many ships in the game and that the cost for maintaining huge fleets should be at least triple what they are. Is there a way I can adjust maintenance costs for ships globally for all races, and would that effectively limit the overall number of ships that can ...

Disable automatic base building in policy settings or if you leave it on auto set priority for defensive bases to 0


As I said originally, that doesn't solve the problem. Even if you set priority for defensive bases to 0, there is a bug where they will be built in an endless loop at certain ...

Ok,

Just Added the Atuuk and Wekkaru's new DLC and the patch notes specifically talk about fixing this.
Seems to work now, but should have been a fix/patch available for people who didn't buy that DLC since it cripples the game.

At a specific Planet, the A.I. is queuing up about Defensive Bases and Orbital Platforms. Right now,
I just noticed it and it has 55 of them in one spot, and building more.
I delete them from the queue, and the A.I. just adds them right back.

I have base building set to Manual temporarily but that ...

The thing that confused me was that I was looking at being able to set it "Per Colony" and so was fishing around the colony screen. But this makes sense now. I Basically set the population count to produce a small space port as the same number which it would normally produce a medium spaceport. I ...

Yea, that's good. Thanks. That will help.

There are policies for the target population on colonies when small/med/large spaceports should be built.... There are also settings to prioritize different base types.


I still have not been able to find such a policy screen. The only colony population Policy screen I can find in the game is ...

1. When Ship Building is set to "Suggest" or "Suggest and Execute" , if I decline to build a particular ship, the A.I. keeps nagging me over to build the same ship. If I feel I have enough transports, the A.I. doesn't get it, it just continues to ask for more even when I've stated I don't want more ...

Can you modify the Behavior of the A.I. or any ships in general? Or is the modding in this game limited to resource changes only?

MMGA - Make Modding Great Again.. by allowing players to 'hook into' the actions and decisions of the A.I. and environment(s) to give it new abilities and behaviors ...

If you set the fuel tanker to manual within a manual fleet it will not follow the fleet, you have to tell them what to do manually. This is so that you manually can decide when they go fill up their cargo with fuel or mine for fuel. It would be difficult for the game to know if the tanker are ...

I didn't read the entire rant, but STRONGLY agree with the fuel tanker issue.

I typically keep a couple fleets on manual to direct a large amount of firepower on key targets. This is typically around 10-15 ships including 2 fuel tankers. Without fail, moving the fleet always works great except the ...

Is anyone out there from Matrix answering questions?

One of the main missing pieces from the game is a simple FOB design (Forward Operating Base). While you can take a Monitoring station and 'minimally' buff it up, it's usually far too weak to withstand any reasonable assault and short of assigning a fleet to it, you can't make it any better. I should ...

Thank you very much. Yea, I let it sit there for hours and it just never finishes one ship, so it's a bug. Glad they are fixing it.

How do you change the queue order of ship production?

If I send a few ships I captured to "Retire at spaceport xxx", they head there and the spaceport seems to completely clog up on them. No more ships are produced from the space port and the build queue just stacks way up.
The 'clogged' ship appears with a RED background and appears to stay that way ...

Is there a way to tell DW2 to play the next background music?
Mine seems to play the same song/selection over and over.

Thanks. That helps.

If there are 10 derelicts, you now have to match up what you see on the view screen with what's in the exploration list and it's not so easy compared to just right clicking a derelict and saying "queue..." Seems like a negative compared to DWU.

I think in general the Right ...
