Suggestion: Would you please stablizd the orieantation of fleet/ship symbols in the system/region/galaxy view

At the moment, when a player rotate the camera, symbols of fleets (triangle), space creatures (lobster), construction ships (square) and exploration ships (diamond) also rotate with the galaxy. It leads to the confusion between squares and diamonds to some degree.
Is it possible to make the ship ...

No, it is Stellaris that borrowed the idea of "Return of Shakturi"

[need help] How to retire salvaged/repaired civilian ship with hi-tech?

Once the pirate lair overwatching a alien ship graveyard was defeated, I immediately sent a construction ship to repair those alien ship with hi-tech components hoping to gain new techs, as what I was told in the popup message when I first discovered those ship.

Unfortunately, once the ship was ...

Re: Is it worth putting 'ordnance' in the game?

Definitely worth it. I would love DW more, if ordance system is implemented.
Of course, there will be more balance work to do around balancing core mechanics such as combat, logistics, production, resources, which is a good thing

Re: About salvaged characters from escape pods


Yes, if you look in the menu where you can find your spies, there's another tab for prisoners. There, you can choose to kill, them, return them, or try to bribe them to work for you.


I acutally looked for them in prinsoner tab before I seeked for help, purely based on my experience in CK2.

About salvaged characters from escape pods

Hey distant residents.
After demolition of a pirates lair, my ships picked up two escape pods, and trasported a pirate leader and a (pirate) scientist back to my homeworld.
I don't care the former pirate leader too much. However, I do want to make use of the scientist. Any way or interface to ...

Re: Unable to colonize ancient slave colony (mild spoilers)


I think it's bugged. In one of my Human games, another empire on the other side of the galaxy tried to colonize it or invade it. Suddenly it became mine. So I gained this free colony on the far side of the galaxy without doing anything or meeting them prior.


I guess that same incident happened ...

Suggenstion. Bring back dropdown movement menu in galaxy view.

I am still new to DW2. Maybe I'm wrong
currently, to move ships or a fleet to another world of another system, it often involves scrolling into the destination system to pinpoint the world with a right click.

In DWU, it's easy to move a fleet, in galaxy or region view, to a colonized world or some ...

Problem of Colonies not receiving any caslon

<t> In my latest run of DWU, I noticed two of my earliest colonies not receiving any caslon, even with caslon gas mining station in their star systems full of caslon. Hence there was constant yellow warnings of shortage of critical resources, which in turn hampered their development.<br/>

RE: Yet another suggestion post

I totally agree on tracking on sub-classes. It is problematic to manage shipdesigns of a same hull code serving different roles in DW1. Sometimes i accidentally retrofit ship to a different role instead of upgrading a handful new components.
