This looks really interesting - Great work !!

Beta 1.2.7.1 maybe earlier versions too: AI bombard colonies even on easy - great work, thx - this is how it should be! Any news on slavery? We're intending to make improvements to how the AI interacts with population policies in the future. In Distant Worlds -Universe, Dhayuts enslaved other races...

First of all. Its nice to hear some nice butt kicking players receive every now and then. I had a similar game where I was surrounded by Dhayuts and Gizzureans on both sides, both top two empires as well. I ended up researching the Dhayut diplomacy Techs, which gives you a bonus. That was in additio...

Happy New Year, everyone, May this year be bright for both the devs and its players.

Has any found any distinct difference in behavior or target priority being "Raid" Fleets and "Attack" Fleets? Does one prioritize some targets over others? Does Raid harass but not fire to total descrution? Where "Attack" fires until everything is destroyed? LB Raid fl...

I was really upset with the rather unimaginative, forgetful Empire names formed within DW2. The problem is the names are so common among so many Empires, you cannot really tell them apart from the names. Personally, the name of the Empire should along describe the character an the type of Space Civi...

mod is live on steam workshop

modified galaxy map Nebulae, less white swirls & much brighter colored special Nebulae

Captain - " Open FIRE !! "

** Bridge explodes **

I have been able to use reshade software to dull the background stars down a bit. I am guessing that the purpose of the speckles and lit dust-ish visuals are for the player to be able to surmise, visually, that a hull is moving relative to the galaxy. Flickering may be a stay alert protocol, or a p...

This is great...

90% are disappointed, their dream pops like a balloon filled with dreams but then there is nothin in it... I would avoid making such gross generalizations or generously assuming your views are accepted by 90%. Yes, there are issues. It will be fixed in due course. Yes, the Initial game was launched...

I would argue DW2 is a remake/remaster with fewer features than DWU but I digress. I have to really disagree with this. Ship design, tactical combat, exploration, 3D space, scale of the universe has definitely seen an improvement. As for the extra races, Pirates and end game crisis. We will eventua...

I would argue DW2 is a remake/remaster with fewer features than DWU but I digress. Doubt its that easy to remake all of DW-U with all its features in DW2. DW-U alone took more than 4 years to make for the Initial game + 3 expansions. Please keep in mind this is not a AAA studio with a huge work for...

UPDATE.

Have added a some Empire names for a few government types.

Doubt you can play it now as there will not be any ships assigned to that race. Unless you have a way to assign the ships of the existing race...
