Taking over your planet seems like a bug.

Do you mean 5 pirate bases spawned in your system? If so, that's definitely a bug.


Yes, 5 separate pirate factions in my home system.


It is random, so if you are unlucky you will get like five pirates in short order and tank your economy. That is ...

Don't disagree with you (pirates are bland and boring), but consider:

1. The pirates you are seeing might be part of your faction's storyline. Pirates don't normally take over planets. If you have storylines enabled, they will always spawn somewhere near you.

2. Pirates start with Hyperdrive ...

Why is it when I select FEW and DISTANT pirates, they still appear in my home system? First off, Pirates should not be able to take over planets! Pirates should raid commerce lines and hijack ships, not land on home planets and take it over. Imagine if Jack Sparrow and his crew invaded England ...

It's most likely a resource shortage....GP


I do have production shortages, but I have plenty of stocked resources. And I have another game I started where I am having the same issue, and I don't have any production shortages of the necessary resources in that game. I am wondering if there is a ...

P.S.: I currently can not upload. Hopefully it is just broken for me.

It is easy to bankrupt them with Mining stations and other stuff with Upkeep.

Yes, lots more than me. Over 3million space bucks.

My civilian fleet is not upgrading. I've had the skip drive and now the warp drive for several years but all the civilian ships are still only using ion drives. I have the the design and retrofit all set to automatic for these civilian ships and they are active. I also have several construction ...

35% is honestly not too bad. Your administration building is reducing it - delete it and see what happens.

To reduce corruption, either improve your administration building or switch to a government that has better corruption reduction if one is available. Characters can occasionally help as well ...

My home planet, no other races, no pirate raids, tax rate 15%, not over populated, a Republic, yet 35% corruption? (And rising!) I added an admin building but there was no reduction in corruption. How can I fix this? Thank you.

It is for the extra requirements of some techs (higher up the research tree). For example, high volume cargo transfer needs 20% Industrial Research. Enhanced Research needs 40% High Tech Research.

Thank you for that info. I was thinking that the techs were organized into these categories.

I have a couple of scientists, one has a bonus to High Tech Research, the other has a bonus to Industry. I do not see any designations in the tech tree for these. What techs are affected by an Industry research bonus and a high tech bonus? Thank you.

This question has nothing to do with building ships. It's about giving ships orders.

In DW:U you were able to have a ship queue up orders so that it would got to planet A, then B, then C, etc. But in DW2 I do not see that option. Is there a way to queue ship orders? Thanks.
