Everytime I see the "DW 2" thread updated from the main forum page, I get a massive erection. But again after reading the posts, it deflates back to it normal 14" size. Damn-it.

That's not inches. You're looking at the metric edge [;)][:D][:-]

No, we need to train ourselves on DW1 to be ready for DW2...

Whenever it comes out I'll be happy to play it, gotta find that research that makes cackle like Emperor palpatine "Unlimited PowAAAAHHH!!!!"

[PhenomPhear]

Lol I just read this thread from OP to here, and man was it like a mini roller coaster. I too have had DW:U since 2014 and I eagerly await the 2nd one and have no doubt that I will enjoy it sometime in the near future.

Hello. Will the game in Russian? If not, will there be an opportunity for an amateur translation? The first part is very popular in Russia, but its translation was difficult for technical reasons.

[phoagne]

Yes, please, make the game easy to translate, there is enough people to make fan-translation to Russian. But I guess it should be posted in the "Master Wishlist Thread"

It would be sooo awesome if you folks would consider putting out Dev Diaries once a month or so!

SO bored again with dumbed down Stellaris ...

if you felt it was dumbed down back in August, I can't imagine what your assessment is now with news of the 1.9 update.

Depends on what they do after the 1.9 update, Stellaris does have some good ideas to remove to Doomstack warfare issue. Paradox would not be taking this decision if they did not think it was a base for something better. Will have to wait and see what they do. The only thing which turns me down in Stellaris is the non-existent economy. And Space feels soo dead after seeing all those ships flying around in DW-U

The one thing which bugged me about Distant Worlds is by the end of the game, all your ships were Either heavy cruiser or Capital ships sized. Will there be any changes in the game which will make it rewarding to build a huge swarm of small ships? Maybe smaller ships could automatically have more movement speed and evasion bonus and as the size of the ship increases this bonus decreases and even turns negative.

I love escort swarms late game to use to wreck all the infrastructure as my capital fleets gather to wipe out the main systems. Press pause then go from base to base queuing up tons of escorts and with the massive parallel construction you can pump out several massive escort fleets before the first has even had a chance to get to the target.

At DW you got the freedom to freely create you ships.
You are the ingeneur who design it, and not like other game which give you a hull design and limit it at this way.
It is up to you, how you design your capital ship, fast like a fighter or slow with massive shield/weapons.
The ship class just set how the AI handle these ships.

[Ranbir]

You can still build a swarm of small ships if you want, you'll be able to construct them faster and you'll have ships that outnumber the enemy in the hundreds, if not thousands.

Smaller ships already have advantage of speed and, well, number.

Don't be too concerned with the "ship role" classification. That is primarily for the AI to organise ships and fleets, not for the player.

Was there an update? Has something changed? Steam just downloaded 67mb worth of data for DW:U.
