I keep myself from starting a new ROTS round just because theres nothing worse than being in the middle
of a epic war when the expansion comes out.

Please hurry, Eric! [8D]

Does anyone know if a Trilogy pack will be released when Legends is out?
I want to play DW for myself with my own copy of the game instead of my friends copy since I only get to play it when we meet up so I can do some Voices for him for projects he works on. I cant really afford to buy them all individually to be honest :(

My best intuitive guess is..... YES!

I'm pretty sure the expansion was stated to release in November, so that's still a good few weeks off.

And I want a bug free expansion.  So, please, take your time Eric :)

Race victory conditions, new weapons, the character system... very cool!

Yes Bingeling all good points. My gripe comes with waiting an eternity for a micro spaceport (or anything really) to be constructed at worlds within the same sector as my homeworld (or more generally close to already well developed areas). It seems the first world you colonise does okay but after that...

What I want is a way to make sure that like, 6 tons of chromium gets transported half a sector so that the spaceport does not sit in the queue stalled for years. There is definitely something buggy with freighters at the moment when they will collect 8 or 9 of the 10 resources you need immediately and then wait forever to transport miniscule amounts of the final one or two resources. If they were really fulfilling demands they would have fitted these tiny amounts in the first load.

A quick fix would be to have a single freighter controllable by the player (maybe even with only one cargo bay) to unstick these blockages. (A proper logistics system would be even better, but I imagine much more demanding of new coding to make work.) I can't believe that the private sector would not get the message that these were desperately needed when whole worlds would be screaming blue murder.

I would like to see a mechanic similar to the one used in the game "Majesty". In this game you play as a ruler of a kingdom,and can train knights, rangers, mages and other fantasy units but you have no direct control over any of them. If you want them to attack something, you set a bounty on it and all units in the neighbourhood move in for the kill. Maybe you could be able to set up special missions for the private sector (For example: the first freighter that brings 10 units of chromium here gets a bonus of X money - the more money the more appealing the mission).
