I'm at a point now where i have a source of both Zentabia Fluid and Korabian Spice. Mining stations. For years now. My question is how or rather why isn't every sizeble colony scrambling to get a hold of that very valuable stuff. My stations have full stocks round the clock, my largest colonies ...

Wow. Awesome deal.

So there's no command to prioritise planets or something like that? Because i feel there should be. Moon and planet potential is clearly higher in terms of discoveries and thus priority should be higher.. this wouldn't be as big an issue if exploration didn't take so long to complete for every ...

After reserching and outfitting the dozen or so exploration ships, wathcing them warp into the great unknown to discover it's wonders was quite exciting. A few
in game years later they still haven't fully explored the closest system because, apparently, freaking asteroids are more interesting than ...

<t> I also have a question regarding research stations. I couldn't fully grasp what was the best way to expand your research speed via stations. I know that building more would have been redundant at some point and that much i could tell but overall i found the system confusing. Has it been changed ...

I guess it depends what's the target for the minimum specs.. I assume it's for 1080p, low setting, 30 or 60 fps. If it's for 60, then you sould be good, if it's for 30 you'll probably run it but the experience will be sub-par.

<t> Well, idk how "rife with fraud" it is, but key resellers are just that, they resell keys. Usually by buying low selling higher. Perfectly legal. There are times when games go on sale to very small prices so people buy in bulk then and resell them later. The "issue" would be potential sale loss ...

Been keeping myself entertained with Starsector. New version got released since i last played. Tons of fun. Takes the edge out of waiting for DW2 a bit. For anyone unfamiliar i'd describe it as Mount and Blade in space.

Not the release announcement i wanted to read but... Oh well.

<t> SirHoraceHarkness has it right. There was no source in particular to what i said a few posts back, just my impressions of everything i've read. I think they will add MP in at most 2 years post release (near future). Won't be at release though, of that im more certain now. Hope that clears things ...

Well, in my opinion it would be odd to design a game with MP in mind (and that's not a simple thing) and not have it in at some point. If all goes well, i don't see why not. The ball is in the air about when that's going to happen, i agree.

MP is something they definitely have planned for the near future. If not present at release.

Gravillex looks disgusting. Impressive, but disgusting. Like the Shadows from B5 but on steroids and meth.

Hmm.. Is it just me or does the game look.. Prettier? Newer version of the game maybe? Anyway, cool stuff! Hope it's coming out sooner rather than later!

I'm no beta tester but from what i saw so far the game is close to finish. That said, I hope they fix the issue causing ships to wiggle at a set distance from a stationary target - like a station- while firing at it. Looks quite jarring.

Nice! Thanks for clarifying and best of luck with the remaining game development!

<t> I see. I do remember it was mentioned that there are more techs in DW2 than 1 but don't recall hearing that the tech tree starts as "unexplored" (i think that would be a first for me), hence my confusion. If that's how things stand then it makes sense. Still, would be nice for a dev to confirm ...

Just wondering what happened with the research tree. Seemed rather underwhelming compared to DWU. Most weapon research branches have 3 tiers as opposed to 8 or 9 in the prequel. Is that to be expected in the final version or will it be expanded upon?

Great!

So, is Matrix Games the new PDX?

<t> I've not seen this asked in the OP and I haven't read all the replies here but I would like to know if the "world destroyers" will be making a return. And what other, if any, endgame apocalyptic weaponry/construction can we expect. I know its a rather specific question but I personally enjoy ...
