Homeworld in a Gravitic Storm

[Scaenicus]

Hi!

I don't know if this is a bug report or should be a suggestions:
Don't put the home system in a Gravitic Storm without Ion Defense and/or Reactive Armor pre-researched as special story event.

My first ever round of Distant Worlds 2 is a home system in a Gravitic Storm.
It took me a while to recognize that there is no bug, but all my ships are in a permanent repair loop.
Then it took me even more time to realize that I'm in a Gravitic Storm and need Ion Defense and Reactive Armor.

Unfortunately I have blind research and no idea if "just waiting" would work out (because I wouldn't get any resources outside of my home planet).

Well, I restarted the game. - My kind of luck

Yikes, that's definitely not intended!

If you have a save file from that game, please share it so that we can see the settings that created that problem.

Maximum filesize per attachment: 10 MiB. The save game has 22MiB.

I've uploaded the save file to my cloud and sent you the link via support@slitherine.co.uk

Saves typically compress really well, so you can use zip or 7z to make it small enough to attach to a forum post.

In order to help debugging:
After installing the game I clicked through "Start a new game" without changing anything but
+ Random to Human
+ Democracy to Democracy (after clicking though all options)
+ Random to Deep Core

Maybe an initialisation error helped with my placement inside the Gravitic Storm

Why simple if complicated is also an option... compressed save game attached.
