In case anyone else was interested, the answer is YES, the Shakturi fleet ships are mortal and kill-able when they spawn outside the rift. The only major challenge is you have to swat them fast, because they dont hang around and bug off for the rim instantly.

Rochndil, still wondering just how he ...

I hadn't given thought to messing up the scripting by doing something "unexpected" - that's a very valid point. I've seen absolute chaos caused (in other games) by breaking the scripts (intentionally or otherwise). I also hadn't thought about using the editor - that could be a way to just "see what ...

OK, I had a crazy idea, but it would take a LOOONG time to implement and require rolling back to an older save to test...so before I invest all that effort, I'd like to know if anyone else has tried it.

I just had the Shakturi show up around the rift, and then blitz off for the far corners of the ...

I thought I had seen a 1.0.8.4 note, but can't find it now. I agree that, especially in late game, the notification list is overwhelming. I've turned off several, but I need to do more. Some of them are even popping twice!

Rochndil, who needs to delve back into the controls one of these days...

Good morning.

I have played (and modded) DW1, as well as quite a few other 4x games, all the way back to the original MOO. I couldn't count all the hours I've spent exploring, expanding, exploiting, and occasionally exterminating over the years. The first release or three of DW2 was a bit rough ...

<t> Greetings!<br/>
<br/>
I re-scaled all the standard and pirate versions of 50 races' ships, and also fixed the carrier tactics (for some weird reason someone had them going all weapons). Other than a mistake of my own making, everything worked perfectly. Awesome improvement; it made the ...

<t> Good evening!<br/>
<br/>
No bugs to report, yay!<br/>
<br/>
I do have a feature request to think about, which could possibly open up a whole new method of modding. I've been tinkering with the scaling attribute for ship designs, and feel that it really adds a lot to the game. When your ...

<t> Greetings!<br/>
<br/>
I like some of the features you've added, so I'll have a go at installing your mod into my heavily modded UE-2 theme. Since I'm really not wanting to mess with most of the fighter/bomber changes, I'm JUST dropping in the EXE and settings file (with a lot turned off ...

<t> Good afternoon!<br/>
<br/>
I've been continuing with my mod project (which, as they tend to do, has grown in scope - now I'm adding 7 new races and tweaking a bunch of stuff). Your tool has not produced any more game-crashing errors (yay!), but it is doing something incorrectly. To a certain ...

<t> Glad you got it figured out!<br/>
<br/>
I've been busy finding ways to break the game. And, then, ways to fix it. I've been tweaking UE-II to my tastes and adding in (small) additions, and of course my custom race. So far I've managed to create a functional mod, but with your tool back in ...

<t> And hello again!<br/>
<br/>
I've recreated the error twice.<br/>
<br/>
I started by downloading a fresh copy of Unleashed Extended II (from this forum), just to be sure it wasn't a corruption issue. I copied the contents to the Customization directory (and got rid of the extra sub-directory ...

<t> Good afternoon!<br/>
<br/>
I'm VERY new to DW: U, though quite technically capable and familiar with modding in general. I tried to use your tool to add a race to the Unleashed Extended II mod ( Link redacted because I can't post such; it's not hard to find. ), but on its first analysis ...
