<t> Might I suggest an additional feature that enables the user to define when the game pauses based on certain events? it would be really nice to alt tab out of a game, and if the game is running in the background and you come back to it every so often to make decisions/actions then go out again ...

<r> Looked up your GPU vs the GTX560<br/>

<t> One question regarding mining ships, are they still as useless as they were in the 1st game? For example, there simply wasn't enough of them manufactured to make any difference to resource shortages UNTIL I had some actual mining stations build, the private economy favors to overproduce cargo ...

no nut november starts now, get a move on [:D]

<t> I am in love with the new textures used for the galaxy map view, it's no longer "harsh" contrast between galaxy backdrop and the empire border colour and influence range! <br/>
<br/>
Might I make a suggestion? would it not be possible for the background galaxy position of each star to be ...

I love it!

Love how it still has the original DW feel tho

Really hope you guys aren't being too rushed to release, it's understandable, the game was in development for 5 years now? Hope you guys are all in agreement when the codebase is "Gold"

They still got heaps of issues from closed beta testing so imo it's simply not ready yet.

The fact there isn't a wink of any marketing around this game kinda implies that opinion.

<t> love the new work on the galaxy look, very reminiscent of the OG DW galaxy look, My suggestion would be to make it have a central galactic bulge and increase brightness towards the centre to more represent an iconographic archetype of a typical spiral galaxy. <br/>

If you want some ...

Stellaris has it that only the "Host" can pause, so the host can act as the moderator in a game or the 'dealer'

Many times I played multiplayer we all agreed to pause once every hour for 15 minutes to give everyone time to break.

^^ because they are beta testing it, it's quiet because there's nothing new really to say, just gotta squash all the bugs and polish up a stable 1.0 foundation for the next DECADE of content releases lol (hopefully)

Just insert /user/LarryMonte2011 after youtube-com url lol

Bloody awesome work lad! I've always been wanting something like this for a 4X game, a realistic representation of the local stars around sol in a 2D layout.

I will never be disappointed with DW2, just knowing that you guys are building a solid foundation for the next iteration of the distant worlds experience is enough for me. Keep on keeping on guys!

Agreed, it appears he never heard of Distant Worlds 1, and only now just realized what a a treasure trove he discovered... [8|]

<t> seems that PartyElite didn't cover dw2 in his upcoming 4x videos for 2021 because there wasn't any concrete information/gameplay to go off of until now, apparently, though it also looks like PartyElite hasn't played any Distant Worlds Universe either because many of those already established ...

Weird that people mostly want things which add practically nothing to game. <br/>
Orbiting planets -> visual only. And shit ton of work on programming level.<br/>
Resources -> DW is not about resource management essentially. DW only cares ...

<t> For me orbiting planets is what differentiated distant worlds from the rest, almost no other 4X esque game did it, apart from Hazeron.<br/>
<br/>
Like I mentioned earlier, i'm sure the whole AI pathing issue can be rectified if you drag ships along with planets in a gradient as they get closer ...

Orbiting planets! Orbiting Planets! Orbiting Planets!
