Again, a ledger would be nice.


Been saying this since a few days after launch when the first mysterious money sinks got noticed, which WERE bugs and the discussion around that would have been a lot simpler with a ledger. Plenty of people on here "explaining" why it wasn't a bug and go check X ...

Think of it as you having researched a way to get more out of your existing components. No hardware changes, just the ship's chief engineer being told a better way of running the component that was discovered through research back home.


Basically applying a fleetwide firmware patch for the ...

Could have gotten five colony ships if you'd had boarders.

I dont have the game installed thru GOG Galaxy as like with Steam its a redundant app to me so I use the GOG offline installers to install the game as standalone in its own folder like it always was. 8-)



Nvmd download the whole fu##ing game again on 700 to 800 Kbp/s (facepalm) - took ...

It was one of my least favourite parts of the old game, and such a chore to keep on top of.

i would also strongly suggest to allow refueling systems (like on Tankers) on Spaceports so ships that want only fuel dont need to dock and undock all the time but can be refilled in space around the station. Would greatly help reduce the Docking Traffic.

Mit allow i mean that they work. You can ...

In my last game since the dlc, my auto raid fleets were not chasing down AI fleets very well. I've had frequent instances of invasions happening with fleets sitting around doing nothing. In some cases just one system away. I don't know if this is something I am doing wrong eg maybe with the ...

I feel notifications are in general bugged to high fuck. Pardon my French. If you close that horrorshow of icons, then see that one tab has messages, click the tab, no messages. Only way to be halfway sure you're seeing notifications is if you leave the "all" tab open along with that eyesore. Even ...

I hope they fix this by the Return of the Shakturi release. I will not buy the expansion if they don't because I literally can't play the game outside of GE Force Now since I don't have a PC. I am sure developers are really busy but I wish Erik would make an official comment about this one way or ...

Distant World's Gratuitous Space Battles...

I'd play~!


Space Empires had a sort of combat arena you could try out different designs in to see how they worked against various enemies.

Clearly not the time to work on it, but given the automated nature of the game, it might even be an ...

Really good point!

Hopefully he bought a lottery card that weekend.

So I was thinking about a ship scale mod for Space Empires IV I used to play that also had some interesting ship designs, eg a massive rail gun mount that ran almost the length of the ship. That kind of thing.

So if you look at the US Navy a Battleship is about 5-10 times the tonnage of a ...

Well, yeah. The clever idea in my original message which you must have skimmed.

Okay, "strategic resources" as opposed to what the game calls "construction resources", right? Since you're defining a subset of the available construction resources, I'll assume you're differentiating them.

Research soaks up a lot of resources, and some of the end game, repeatable research could ...

Currently an inbound attack fleet to my homeworld has exactly the same urgency as a freighter having a scuffle with a pirate.

Conquering a world is just as relevant as capturing an Escort.

Discovering an ancient fortress? Right up there with finding some umpa lumpa fruit, or whatever the spurious ...

You can edit policy-files ("Ackadarin.xml" ) in the "policy"-folder. Each file has rules regarding what intelligence missions they use:

As per title. When I have a large fleet, or a moderately successful fleet, I acquire a lot of Generals, so many in fact I can't see how many troops I have. I can look at each individual troop transport but it's not exactly ideal. Is this number shown anywhere else?

Hilarious we still don't have an ingame explanation of engagement ranges for fleets, isn't it? How long is a piece of string? Sector range. Okay, the rest are self-explanatory maybe but at least in DWU, you knew what a sector was.


I'm not so sure it is hilarious... ;) ...but you can to some ...
