Someone please step up with a guide to play on fully manual.

Like the brilliant guide by Timotheus for DW1. See link. Perhaps the best guide I've ever seen anywhere for any game.

"The New Guy Newbie Guide to Fully Non Automatic Manual Play - Distant Worlds, The Manly Man Way to Play."

That really helped me not only learn DW1 but also to really fully enjoy its great depth. I think a similar guide for DW2 would help more people learn and enjoy the game. I'm already using the ideas I learned from Timotheus' guide as I start playing DW2 along with Scott's Guide.

Scott2993 has already made a good start at it with his very detailed guide, which incorporates ideas on how to set up the game to play with large parts of it on manual or suggest. It is very, very good and very, very helpful with some really good explanations of how things work. I highly recommend it and thank Scott2993 for his work.
