What is the deal with demoralizing characters? I'm wondering if I should have sacked this demoralizing spy I had. He was always off on missions so I'm not sure would be able to demoralize my other spies back at home at the same time.

<t> Hey, yeah the suggested workaround, uh, works.<br/>
<br/>
Basically, design your mining station as per your preference and immediately set them as 'obsolete'. Then, whenever you want to actually build one, pause the game and KEEP it paused, open the design screen, uncheck 'obsolete' for the ...

Thanks again.

I JUST had that exact same thought. Great minds, eh? With regards to the cumbersome workaround: ah, sure I'm already playing the game in the most attention demanding way by choice so what are a few more clicks going to matter?

<t> Just did some more testing on this and watched one of my problem luxury mining stations switch to retrofitting to a basic mining station. Seems to have been completely random, there were no research breakthroughs, successful steal research missions, construction events.... nothing that I can see ...

<t> Thanks.<br/>
<br/>
Well, just tested NOT setting the old designs to obsolete and the problem still persists. Balls, this kind of makes the way I play the game, well, unplayable.<br/>

<t> Just as the title says, I'm playing a game of DW - Shadows, 1.9.0.8, still stuck in my home system and have only a few mining stations up and running.<br/>
The wasted space on the default mining stations from the always included luxury extractors really annoys me so I've created from scratch ...

Has everyone given up on the .DAT file creation? Not pointing any fingers cause I dont have a clue whats involved.

Anyone want to enlighten me on the process? Is it just a conversion utility?

Cheers mo chara

I'll try that as soon as I can. I'll have to install the 4.0.3 patch too.

<t> Quick noob question.<br/>
<br/>
If you're on a strike mission and another group engages your designated target at, say, vector 370, how do you actually find that vector/make sure you're flying on that vector?<br/>

Its only happened once or twice on the Udiel mission but I usually just ...
