One thing I would love to see in a future update is a better victory screen, like the one in Distant Worlds Universe. Showing your achievements and scores compared to the other races. 'Peace through Peace', top colonies, population, military, economy and so forth.

The victory screen in DW2 is bland and just ends the game.

I am playing the new beta and I must say I LOVE the Zenox changes. They went from Meh....to WOW. The ships feel different with their new look and the race just plays so much better.

Thanks and keep up the great work. Love the game!

Since 1.2.9.3 Public Beta Update I have so many ctds as never before.

I did auto compare files in steam and disabled all mods. But it did not help.

Thanks. We're aware of the crashes in 1.2.9.3 and they have been fixed in the next build.

Small version change but some really good things in the 1.2.9.5 update, thank you.

Not tested yet. But reads good - to be a great update.

has the zooming to blank space issue been fixed using the 'show me' function?

Hey everyone, we released a small update today that addresses a few data issues encountered in the previous build.

[Schatten]

SHIP AND FLEET BEHAVIOR
- improved Fleet retreat evaluation to better handle unusual situations where attack target starts at one location but then quickly moves to another well-defended location in same system, thus triggering a retreat from the attacking fleet
- fleets now prefer non-dangerous locations when refuelling, but will fallback to include dangerous locations if no other option (helps avoid Kasim and other dangerous locations)

Well congratulations for nothing.
Nothing is fixed Fleets still fly to this shit..... of Kasim to refuel while the scythe defender stations hang around.
How about you just remove it if you cannot fixing it?

The very first frigate I build suicided as soon as it left the spaceport. I got notification of it being under attack, I did not get any notification that it had died. I realized it wasn't able to flee in time when I tried to make a fleet with the next frigate built.

If you're seeing that in 1.2.9.7, it would be much more helpful if you'd share a save file with us that reproduces the issue so that we can properly fix it.

Do you have a save from before and after you noticed this?
