<t> One thing I'm enjoying so far about this World Cup is to see some of the "upsets". I watched the physically smaller Japanese team get bounced around the field by the much larger players from Cameroon and then watched them win the game anyway. I also give credit to the teams that realistically ...

There are no plans to send DW to those other resellers, sorry. As with most of our games, it is exclusive to the Matrix Games Online Store and not available in retail.

Good! I am not a fan of Steam.

<t> While we're at it, let me say that if the game wants to "model" an economy then it needs to provide some of the basic tools. Each planet and mining station that the player owns should have a profit and loss reading. For planets - what is the cost of the troops, bases, etc., maintaining the ...

it might be easy to pull out of it in 1.03, but that is just due to massive income from colonies compensating for poor AI decision in mine building. Private ships and structures simply do not have their own cash flow, instead they draw on a ...

I noticed that with the editor I am unable to place research stations. I could do this with the previous version so it seems a glitch has been introduced.

Send an exploration ship to them. Reap the benefits.

I put an explorer right in the middle of one red circle from the star system panel and didn't report anything. I'm beginning to suspect some sort of bug.

Is your empire colour red? Are these 3 cirlces on the right side of the planet? Are these 3 circles triangular in shape?

No to all of the above. The red circles are beaconing on the galaxy view and they seem to be ...

On my galaxy map I see three areas that have red circles. They start small then enlarge, disappear, and start again. In one case I see nothing there, but in other cases I see wrecked ships. Does anybody know what these circles mean?

ability to upgrade mining stations, gas mining stations, and research stations

<t> So far I have not discovered a way to refit exisitng gas mining and mineral mining stations with the latest technology. Has anybody discovered how to do this? It does not seem that they upgrade by themselves and we are thus losing out on potential. This also seems to be true for research ...

I always add extra fuel cells ontop of what the AI gives you to start out with. Ship range is simply a function of hyperdrive speed * reactor efficiency * fuel amount, right? Its not like bigger ships cost more fuel in hyperspace, so unless ...

Higher Fuel Storage = More Ship Range at full speed

True, but not the answer to the question - how do I determine how many fuel cells I need for a given ship design and a reasonable range? Near the end of the ...

<t> One of the things I notice is that when I design ships myself I tend to have ships with limited range. The AI does a better job with ship range, but a poorer job on firepower and static energy usage. Does anybody have any good guidelines on computing the range of a ship you are designing? I ...

I notice that I can move some pilots first to group reserve and then to general reserve, but other pilots only have the option to go to group reserve and can not be sent to general reserve. Does anybody know why this is?

I notice that some of my squads get to pretty low morale. What advice is there on managing pilot morale? So far I am trying to factor in some rest for each squad and I am also trying to rotate squads to R&R sites (with training set to 50%). What do you veterans say?
