This is WAD. Bonuses from the same component type generally do not stack. Notable exceptions are shield components.


So the logical error/bug introduced by classifying the star marine barracks in the same component family as crew systems is working as designed?

Every design with a star marine ...

I really hope I am missing something here and that I am doing something wrong by needing to manually service bases for fuel. If so please let me know. The hours spend on 'road side assistance' would be greatly appreciated spent elsewhere.

The developers couldn't program a supply and distribution ...

Got it saved to my computer as a PDF, I'll read through it.

Say, you up for giving me your perspective on what I have (nearly finished) so far?

Sure, shoot it through.

This is unbelievable.

"A perspective of the issue aiming to answer the question of "What is a problem for most DW2 players?" is survivorship bias."

It suggests that I, and others who still play or grace the forums from time to time, don't have a fair idea of what players want because we aren't ...

I'd argue against game design being a problem for the majority of DW2 players, but that's not important here.

Generally pointing out that negative reviews covers those things doesn't reinforce that this specifically is something important.

I'm not trying to develop the upgrading designs point ...

Could the upgrade be better and smoother, sure yes it could be. Perhaps they will do something there eventually. I would just be happy if I had the option to automatically obsolete the copied model after I copied a hull and edited with a new components. Now I have to manually obsolete the old ...

Maybe describe the issue here, I have no clue where it is on discord?!?

Perhaps we can find out what is done wrong or if there is a bug, not understanding how things work wanting it to work another way is not a bug though.

I thought you had jumped to that conclusion, thanks for confirming ...

In July 2023, I’ve posted a report on this problem (link below). It still occuring. A fleet contains at least one ship that ...

What do you make of the posts on Discord?

Nothing really.
Just couple more individuals who have not yet fully understood how it works.

I do admit though that the interaction between Policy Settings>Fleets & Fleet/Ship Tactical Settings - Engagement Range on manual fleets and what prevails ...

Does invading and capturing imperial colonies during a war impact your reputation negatively?

Bombarding them does, and so does either invading or raiding them outside of war.

I'm probably the last person who should say it, but I think someone should. I would remind you that in the past, you've been dismissive of other people's experiences and thoughts without merit. It seems as though the way you're actively interpreting what he is saying in a way that invalidates his ...

Isn't it a feature of the feudal government type that the private sector builds military ships limited to certain roles? As far as I know, the way to stop the autobuild of these is to choose a different government type. Policy settings won't affect it.

The observation of manual fleets behaving unusually has been posted independently on Discord. What do you make of those posts? There are saves attached.


Never seen this...wait...I had fleets go from here to there and do stupid things which were not ordered nor I wanted...
but....
on closer ...

If the ship is a custom design, they aren't exactly relying on automation, are they?

Who said anything about relying on automation?

Automatically upgrading individual components is a useful quality of life tool for players using manually designed ships, I use it all the time. It does exactly ...

Maxim,
I've reported several bugs on the tech support forum here. I just tried to send you a saved game file via email but the file size is too big for my yahoo or MS Outlook email functions. I'm not going to add google drive ever nor some other one I've never heard of before just to send a ...

Honestly it's past due Matrix invested in a proper bug report system to upload files directly.

Well that was a truly pointless interjection :D

The current ship upgrade model either follows the AI path or gives you complete freedom. Everything else including my suggested component checkmarks will lead to a lot more complications and spending of limited development time.

Yes, your ...

For now, the best way to upgrade custom designs that have any kind of special parts, is to use Copy As New instead of the Upgrade button. All the racial and lower level parts stay on, and even the serial number gets updated.

I could imagine a checkbox for each slot that would lock its part out ...
