Just a quick note...

Distant Worlds is a vast, pausable real-time, 4X space strategy game which models a "living galaxy" with incredible options for replayability and customizability. Experience the full depth and detail of large turn-based strategy games, but with the simplicity and ease of real-time, and on the scale of a massively-multiplayer online game. Now greatly enhanced with the new Universe release, which includes all four previous releases as well as the new Universe expansion!

Expansion ... nice.

Hopefully, the mods are going to be ported over there, then.

Let's see first what the expansion brings, some things could be ported by our valiant modders while other may depend on Elliot solely.

Cool, nice to see a new expansion so quickly. I'm expecting lots of new content and improvements and stuff.

One question: do you need ROTS for the new expansion or is it standalone for the game? If you need ROTS, are you going to make a bundle discount of the ROTS+Expansion combination?

Cheers

Thanks for the update Erik, please place a strong focus on externalising as much of the internal game data as possible. There is significant untapped potential on the net to playtest and tweak that is currently not being used. Please give the modding community something substantial to work with.

Yes,yes. It's going full 3D with first person perspective. It will also incorporate a fully fleshed out role playing system. It will utilize DX11 and 3D GFX cards.
Infact, below is a screeshot of a cutscene:
