I have circled in red the typo. The word should be Brought but it is missing the T
missing a apostrophe. also unneeded comma after Bakdur

Thats fantastic!

Those map modes are amazing and I love the amount of diplomatic options you have! URGE TO PLAY RISING!

Edit: As someone else state the diplomatic map mode does need to be brighter to contrast better with space though.

Agreed, as much as I'd love MP we really only have confirmation that the engine is capable of supporting MP and that it would be possible to implement it at a later date.

<r> No spaceships in this one but its still sci-fi.<br/>

I hope we get multiplayer somewhere down the track, agreeing to arbitrary borders amongst friends then breaking the agreements and going to war anyway is always fun.

<t> Looks good to me. <br/>

I like the idea of having scout ships do the initial first sweep of a system then having survey ships do the in depths scans, the change allows for a little more strategy when it comes to scout designs IMO.<br/>
<br/>
edit: that was meant as general reply to ...

<t> The more granular and in depth the diplomacy the better IMO. I take great delight in simply watching the universe tick over in Distant Worlds. <br/>

My favourite playstyle was as a smuggler in DW1 which didn't really involve much conquest (for me at least) except for the acquisition of ...

This is fantastic, when stellaris first came out before they made it hyperlane only, the lack of stellar "geography" was a big sticking point for me. Travel is Distant Worlds 1 even felt a bit to quick for me so this is a welcome addition in my book!

<r> In Distant Worlds 1 you could lower the research speed to the point where choosing your research became a choice that could represent a decade or more worth of research and therefore time investment. I like huge galaxies and i felt in DW1 that you got warp tech that allowed you to traverse the ...

I agree with your (martok) post in its entirety.

<r> After re-watching the battle scene a few times and watching Das's breakdown on the battle scene that was released a couple of months ago, it dawned on me the that the ships don't have a death animation, they just pop out of existence upon death. <br/>
<br/>
Given the graphical fidelity that ...

<t> The font in your UI concept is certainly easier to read at a glance, with some embellishment your UI would be spot on IMO<br/>
<br/>
Edit, as much as im not a fan of Windows 10 UI in general, for a game as complex as distant worlds,I would much prefer a somewhat soulless but effortlessly ...

Looking forward to it now more than ever!

I want in on the BETA!

<t> I personally find Stellaris severely lacking in scale, space isn't vast and you end up surrounded by empires withing your first 10-30 years of gameplay! In comparison, in a prewarp start in DW:U you can go 10-50 years (I lower the warp speed to flesh things out) without meeting a single empire ...

Thanks for that!

<r> Sorry for the late reply, I simply don't have the stamina to manage an "empire" that big, I much prefer to act as a shadow power, infiltrating and corrupting other empires administrations and leaching their profits, after all why spend your own resources when the AI will do it for you (something ...

<t> I find the bug where your own troops attack your pirate facilities if you try and support them almost game breaking. Sadly you really cant parasite off an empire when you cant defend your pirate installations on planets. Other than that though pirate gameplay is my absolute favourite!<br/>

If the hyperdrives feel to fast ill be making them slower to make space feel vaster.
