RE: Distant Worlds – Return of the Shakturi Gets a Major Update!
Tried the game updater but it tells me I'm already on the latest patch - I remained on the 1.5.0.6 beta waiting for this one. No big problem, I'll take it from the site but I was just curious why the updater doesn't find it.
Great work btw....as expected [:)]

RE: Distant Worlds – Return of the Shakturi Gets a Major Update!
It failed for me once too Data, but it worked on my second attempt a few hours later.
Great to see another big update. Fine work.[:)]

RE: Distant Worlds – Return of the Shakturi Gets a Major Update!
If I install this update will my previous save games still work?
RE: Distant Worlds – Return of the Shakturi Gets a Major Update!
In the past - yes, but you have to search for the save - it makes a new save game location. No guarantees with that - might depend how in-depth the changes are

RE: Distant Worlds – Return of the Shakturi Gets a Major Update!
In the past it was so, yes. But now we have the 1.5.0.8 official release after the latest 1.5.0.8 beta; so if you were already on that the save game location should not change.

RE: Distant Worlds – Return of the Shakturi Gets a Major Update!
is there any new changes in this compared to the beta of the same version?
RE: Distant Worlds – Return of the Shakturi Gets a Major Update!
we can compare the changelogs for them but it shouldn't be as this official one was announced as actually being the latest beta (1.5.0.8) made official.
Afaik this official one has all the changes from all the beta's so far.

RE: Distant Worlds – Return of the Shakturi Gets a Major Update!
After may game failed to save [:(], I was thrown to the main menu. I pressed the upgrade button (running 1.5.0.8 beta) and was sent to this page:
http://www.codeforce.co.nz/dwrots_versioncheck.asp?version=1.5.0.8
It told me the latest version was 1.5.0.1
Updating from the startup box seems to work, though.

RE: Distant Worlds – Return of the Shakturi Gets a Major Update!
Here's the change list:
v1.5.0.8 – April 5, 2011
• Fleet Automation AI
o AI more careful about when and which ships are added to fleets so that fleets are more cohesive.
o Automated damaged ships are now automatically removed from fleets when they go for repairs.
o More careful calculation of fuel requirements when assigning fleet missions.
o More careful determination of enemy forces at attack targets leading to better target selection.
o Fleets are now more aggressive in refuelling when idle.
o Automated troop transports now leave fleet before loading troops to avoid fleet fragmentation.
o Nearby automated idle fleets reinforce colonies under invasion (i.e. entire fleet will drop troops).
o Unoccupied automated fleets are now more responsive to intercepting enemy attacks.
o Automated troop transports will now automatically reinforce nearby colonies under invasion (drop their troops at the colony).
o AI empires more likely to build Troop Cloning Facilities, especially when their native troops are strong.
• Empires and Diplomacy
o War weariness is now a larger factor in encouraging an end to wars, dependent on the aggression of the empire's dominant race.
o War weariness increases at a slightly slower rate.
o Fewer suggestions of raids against other empires, especially when you are friendly with them.
• Troops and Invasions
o AI now attempts to assign fleets or strike forces to defend critical colonies when you are at war (automated fleets when Fleet Formation is also automated).
o Improved troop levels so that there are normally sufficient troops to defend colonies.
o Orbital bases (space ports and defensive bases) now damage invading troops if not cleared prior to invasion.
o Planetary shield facilities now damage invading troops.
o Doubled time duration to conquer colony (troops fight at half previous speed).
o Increased colony unhappiness factor 'At War With Our Race' so that invading and taking over a large world of an enemy is now more likely to result in a rebelling population.
o Colony rebellions now raise more militia troops, especially when at war with the dominant race of the colony.
o Increased population deaths from colony invasions, especially at larger colonies.
• Colonization
o Starting colonies no longer ever have ruins.
o AI colonization now gives higher priority to independent colonies.
o Colony ships now take 3 times longer to build, slowing colonization slightly.
o Balance of colonizable planets - now more colonizable high-quality ice and volcanic planets (with appropriate tech).
o More independent colonies than previously.
o Greatly increased capacity of passenger transport components.
o Increased number of passenger ships and freighters.
o Improved how passenger ships respond to migration needs.
o Further refined number of colonizable planets and moons in galaxies based on Colony Prevalence setting in game startup. By default, there are now fewer colonies available in galaxies, slowing expansion a bit.
o Ancient Guardians no longer take ownership of lost colonies.
o Limit resources (cargo) at new colonies to small amount of Caslon and Hydrogen fuel.
o Fixed exploit where you could right-click on an unexplored system and get “Colonize” command in right-click pop-up menu.
• Bug Fixes
o Fixed bug in diplomacy screen when offer to trade galaxy maps, territory maps or tech (was previously showing invalid option 'Would you accept this trade?').
o Fixed bug where ruins were sometimes still appearing on home colonies.
o Fixed rare crash that sometimes occurs after a planet is destroyed.
o Fixed bug where sometimes could not repair a discovered planet destroyer or damaged ship in debris field.
o Threat of war or trade sanctions in trade negotiations (diplomacy screen) will now automatically initiate wars or trade sanctions if the other empire refuses your demands - only threaten if you mean it! This also applies to other empires threatening you - your refusal will now result in war or trade sanctions.
o Fixed a bug where clicking the “Stop” action button for a ship would sometimes cause the ship to jump coordinates to the edge of the galaxy.
o Fixed a crash that sometimes occurred when adding planets using the game editor.
o Fixed crash when rebelling militia are defeated at a colony.
o Fixed crash when receive tech bonus from ruins after researching all tech.
o Fixed occasional crash when eliminate an empire.
o Fixed bug where assigning some mission types to fleets (Load Troops, Refuel, Repair) would cause any ships in the fleet that were still under construction to prematurely leave their construction yard.
o Fixed bug where game sometimes no longer shows income or cashflow and other game tasks stop.
o Fixed crash when you have explored the entire galaxy.
o Fixed occasional crash when you recruit new troops at a colony.
o Fixed various GxBO crashes.
o Fixed rare crash in scrolling message list.

o Fixed bug in Start New Game screen when start game after switching back from theme with races not in current theme (if missing races set in Other Empires grid).
o Fixed bug where AI fleet formation would often disband and reform fleets.
o Fixed problem where AI empires sometimes not researching construction tech enough to build larger ships.
o Fixed bug where auto-retrofit message allowed upgrading to larger ship sizes than tech currently allowed.
o Fixed bug where ships not completing construction or retrofit because could modify designs while ships under construction.

RE: Distant Worlds – Return of the Shakturi Gets a Major Update!
Why is that whenever I set my fleet to attack only when attacked it keeps changing it to whatever it wants and heads off into a lions den of enemy spaceports and defensive battery's? The fleet is not automated...it's under my direct command and yet it is still seemingly doing whatever it wants!!!!
"Tho' much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved Earth and Heaven; that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will." -Tennyson
RE: Distant Worlds – Return of the Shakturi Gets a Major Update!
That is to keep you on your toes.
I think it may reset its "attack when" setting whenever you change its order (like order attack).
In the options menu, you have a link to a page where you can set default behavior for different actions. But of course... You want different orders when you order your fleet to "attack large space port" than when you order a fleet you watch to "attack destroyer 001". In the first case I want them to engage system targets (mop mining bases). In the latter case, it may be me busting mining bases and very much want them to "engage when attacked". Make sure to reset the engagement rule every time you give a new order (like attack a ship). You may also see it change its engagement rule when it responds to an attack, I have not tested this.
Yes, this could use some love. But why should we be able to do fancy footwork in enemy systems while the AI does not? Build a bigger fleet and bust the spaceport first [:-]

Thank God!
o Colony ships now take 3 times longer to build, slowing colonization slightly.
Not enough, I'm still colony spamming without problems.
o Fixed bug where Shakturi were sometimes not appearing in game.
Just played one time with the patch and they did not showed up and I had moved the "Galaxy controlled to win" percentage to 50% to let them time to mount an half decent showing.

From the Regina subsector to the Sakaturi base... a long and fulfilling trip.
RE: Distant Worlds – Return of the Shakturi Gets a Major Update!
something strange happening with the blackholes -
now when I try to build something at a blackhole 2 times out of 3 my ship will warp right into the blackhole and get destroyed.
when it does not immediately drop below the event horizon, my 1 out of 2 times the constructor will start working on an object that is within the gravitational spiral of the blackhole - i.e. both construction and constructor get sucked towards the hole, which however can be stopped manually.
still, a bit of a pain!
