Do you happen to know what version of DW2 you started the game with?

Old implementations of certain Nebulas depleted shields (faster than they could recharge) at that point the shields could no longer protect against Ion effects. If this makes any sense.

I wonder what Shakturi and Lord of the Rings have in common ...

[Edit] Hint: Return of the King

The reactors have capacitors and I think are required in order to save 'static energy'. They have a maximum power per second and is the ceiling on power draw. That is how I understand it. You need to have enough energy collection in order to maintain energy in the capacitors in order to service all ...

Colony Armies implicitly garrison their Troops.

The recruitment of Colony Army Troops are not necessarily done at the Army's colony location.

Recruitment and Army assignment priorities are governed by the empire. As of 1.3.0.4 there are attack and defense troop policies that affect Garrison levels ...

More ideas: [Edited]

Troops assigned to an Army would be hauled by Fleeted or non Fleeted Troop Transports, possibly even Freighters (not sure we want that though). These Army assigned Troops would have an in Transit status indicating they are not at the Army Location destination (fleet , or Colony ...

And I forgot: yes, I think we're on the same page as to what we want to see simplified. And yes, some of it could be done with the current system. But I think that "actual" armies could simplify things even further (ie: less tedious)... at the cost of more work for Elliot ;)


I think I prefer ...

Since I've posted that suggestion, almost to 2 years ago, I've given some more thoughts to this. And I've come up with what I think is a much better idea to improve troop management.

I need to put my thoughts together before posting the suggestion (it involves many things). But the ...

Some interesting ideas already ... here are some more:

Troop Unit Type loadout paradigm:
Am thinking Invasion Army Templates aught to use percentages of the available total invasion fleet troop capacity size and display the calculated loadout based on unit roles' maximum sizes of Invasion Fleet ...

DWU had playable Pirates ...

Thank you!

There is no way to manually specify that a specific ship is the Lead Ship, right?


Select a ship from the fleet and right click for the menu, if the fleet ship is not already the lead ship you should see a 'set ship as lead ship' choice. Some times you have to zoom in to the ship to ...

Here is what happens with Generals, based on my observations, when Generals are on Manual Automation :

- Generals assigned to fleets will reside on the Lead Fleet Ship
- If the Lead Fleet Ship is not a Troop Transport, the General does not participate in any of the ground battles
- If the ground ...

Anyone aware if there are time zone verification of posts time stamps, or is this too hot a subject to even enter into discussion?

- fixed independent colonies sometimes being automatically invaded (or blockaded, bombarded, etc) despite diplomatic strategy of 'Diplomacy leading to peaceful Colonization'.

Not really fixed. As I wrote so many times we need a policy setting for this. Your fix only works if you stay ...

As said its simple. I want ships not in fleet for special reasons (guarding, hunting solo merchants in war etc). in lategame i often build 200 or 300 Destroyers or Cruisers at once for this reason. as for now you can have them only manual or full automation on start..if you go full auto they do ...

Hi all,
got the DLC, played a game and had Boskara as immediate neighbors.
They got freakin' 36% to over 50% growth rate on their planets.
Heck I am just bombarding one of their planets and its still growing by 33%.
Are these numbers off, or plausible? I am slightly puzzled, and can't remember ...

In my humble opinion: (Which is somewhat Biased since I have participated and contributed many hours with the DW2 Betas from the start)

DW2 is consistently improving and the Matrix/Code Force team is constantly upgrading the initial invested customer base's product. I am very impressed with the ...

Just a quick note that there are basic construction resources constantly being consumed at colonies based on population. For sure Steel is one of them. So even if your empire is not building or retrofitting anything there will be consumption.

Larger Construction ships could also be made to have more resource capacity and hence be able to build the larger stations, this could be another method of regulating an empire's advancement. There are fewer stations/orbital-ships' roles that can be built by Construction ships than in Distant Worlds ...

This format would be an excellent candidate for a Youtube playthrough!

So the context is the design feedback able to show lack of sustainability for potential peak demand?
