Thanks for the performance improvement in the Hyperspeed update. It really smoothes out the performance of my late game. No more stutters. At least for now... :)

However, the "Show Me" button of the "Scrap Advanced Terraforming Facility" notification is no longer working.
Before the update, it'd ...

I've got construction ships that are unable to move. They became stranded when their construction yards auto-field-upgraded to (v5) and went from 40 static energy/sec to 50. That pushed them over their reactor's capacity and now they have insufficient energy to jump into hyperspace. All construction ...

What does "reduced engine size" technology actually reduce? I researched it, hoping it reduced the vortex engines size, initially 15, to something smaller. But it's still 15. I had hoped that reducing the engine size would pay off as each ship has several engines and the reduced size multipled by ...

Are games started with the Aurora update compatible with the Hyperspeed update?
i.e. will they work(not crash)? or do you have to start over with a new game using Hyperspeed?

Ah.... that explains it. I've only made limited trade treaties with other empires as eventually my empire will have to conquer most of them. Victory conditions are 75% across the board. On the flip side, what's the chance of empires wanting to join the my wonderfully epic empire? Is there a tried ...

How does an empire acquire more ambassadors? I'm in a large galaxy with a dozen other empires and yet I've only got 4 ambassadors. You'd think an empire with 1.2 trillion citizens spread across 150 colonies could find a few more diplomats. What's up with that???

I've encountered a Mortalan ghost ship. I can see it's orange triangular outline when I zoom out, but when I zoom further in, it disappears. It only shows up as a triangular marker without any ship graphics (as in the attached image). Any further zoomed in than the above pic, the ...

I had something similar occur in the first 100 years or so of my current game. I was running a deficit in Caslon mining (more demand than mining) and after spamming a lot of Caslon mining stations, it eventually resolved itself. Maybe it was because many civilian ships were scheduled for fueling at ...

I believe it's not only 500M population, but more restrictively 500M of the species you're trying to load.
I've got a colony with 300M humans and 300M ackdarians, for a total of 600M, but have been unable to load anyone from that colony.

yeah, I know they appear as growing dotted gray circles on the galaxy map. But I've searched over the entire galaxy, twice and have not been able to locate it. I don't know if I'm blind to this particular color or frequency of pulsing, but I've not been able to see it in all the clutter of a fairly ...

I take it back. I thought adding a distance measurement to the <move-to> popup menu entry would be trivial as the coordinates were already there and a quick distance calculation would be easy to compute as all the info was there. But I'm beginning to wonder if that is really true.

I discovered ...

how about when you have a ship or fleet selected, adding distance measure that appears after the move to <x>, <y> coordinates in the right-click pop-up menu? as in: "move to 2512537K, 104283K (307844K)". Adding a distance in paranthesis after the move-to coordinates shouldn't be too difficult, nor ...

I had a similar problem https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 6&t=394600
It was resolved after clearing out many redundant fighter/bomber design names.
Apparently the auto-retrofit got confused by the tangle of design names.
curious if this applies in your situation as well...

thanks for the reply.

Maybe it's because the independent colony contains some members of the surrounding empire in its population. It's possible the Boskarians living amongst the human population aren't sufficiently convinced to join my majority human empire. Though I do have quite the number of ...

I've set colonization distance to around 1.5 sectors as it makes empires growth more connected and not a patchwork of interspersed colonies of different empires.

So about 50 years into the game I get word of a distant independent colony that wants to join my empire. It's about 1/3 around the rim of ...

depending on its size, a gravillex carcass will fill a ship's hull with several hundred gravillex parts.

to demonstrate the reported behavior, harvest gravillex parts parts until it's only a few parts shy of full.
(Each ship appears to be able to carry it's own weight in gravillex parts)
for ...

depends on what the report is intending to convey.

Using 'survives' implies that the surface is currently hostile to life and anything that goes there dies.

Using 'survived' is saying that the attack was so severe that all life was oblitered even to the point that all organisms of decay were wiped ...

I've been sending my fleets out to clear the empire of space creatures.
Once they're dead, I direct the ships to harvest the gravillex/vordikar/ardilus remains and carcasses.

If a ship is full or becomes full when it harvests a carcass, the full carcass disapears when the remainder of it should ...

It's still a problem with beta 1.1.3.4
The list of mining locations only extends into the O's now as I've built a few more mining stations.

I emailed a save game that demonstrates this issue to you as the forum doesn't allow 30MB uploads.

load the game, type F7, and I you'll see the truncated list ...

FYI, sharing discovery and end of frustrating period in DW2:

For many in-game years, my fleets and bases refused to build any new fighter/bomber craft. All hangers soon became barren. I'd thought it was because of resource shortages, as several of my resources showed up red with less being mined ...
