I ordered on the 25th. Order Number: 1654163682 Order Date: 25-MAR-10

Kind of worried too, I opted out of the download insurance on the belief that I was going to get a hard copy.

Do you think you could look into mine too Erik?

I got the same problem over here, but it's been longer for me. Going on three weeks now, I bought it the day after release.

<t> I would have to disagree with your philosophy of wanting control over the private sector of the game. The purpose of DW IMHO is not to inundate you with the complexities of moving cargo around and retrofitting every damned ship and base that you have ( Which could still be improved ).<br/> <br/>...

Will second. Enthusiastically. Too many hours have already been gleefully spent procrastinating for finals with DW.

Absolutely Gorgeous. Can't wait for release.

I found it through gamespot, which would make me think that a lot more gamers might find it if they put up a review for DW. It just happened to be in the new screens section, and it looked interesting enough for me to take a look. Been hooked ever since.

Do countermeasures work for space stations / mining stations as well?

Wow, thats another fantastic new tidbit to learn. I'm pretty impressed with the research system thats being used so far then, seems like its trying to emulate "real world" research.

Yes, I am aware that many races cannot use special government types, however, when I specifically chose a race IE: Teeken , I can't choose to have their government type the special government type IE: Mercantile guild. Only the standard government types show.

I've heard lots about this research cap, but I haven't investigated it yet. Does it have to do with your empires intelligence, or maybe even more generally, what is it?

<t> I would wholeheartedly support this kind of an event. This would definitely add opportunity for a much more chaotic galaxy, since a governments lack of support for one of these splinter groups could cause the group to turn entirely from that empire and become hostile to both governments. Essenti...

<t> Hello Pocus, <br/> <br/> So far, from what i've seen is that the Ai ships will jump to an explored planet, and will NOT know if it is friendly or not.<br/> <br/> If pirates happen to be camping out at the planet or if another hostile race is guarding it they will attempt to escape back to your h...

That is a design feature. Or an epileptic seizure inducing feature. Take your pick.

<t> Most likely you don't have a steady supply of these resources. At this point your far too much in the red to really be able to counteract this, unless you find a new friend with these resources close by soon.<br/> <br/> But my recommendation otherwise is to look through your expansion planner an...

<t> What kind of galactic family do you usually play with Cindar? Because from what i've seen again and again is that nobody likes the Dhayut very much. At least in the games that i've played. Other then the insects, which don't really like to be friendly or reliable. <br/> <br/> Do you find you hav...

Well the idea that i have of creating a template for such a design would fit that bill perfectly, IMHO. That way you can make those pretty ships with extra shields and armed mining bases, etc. and still let the Ai deal with the process of upgrading.

We already can, see the modding guide on the downloads screen.

<t> Well i guess what I'm saying is sure, you could let the Ai build perfect ships for you every time, but then your opponents would also have those perfect ships. And then its just a race to tech up before your opponent does.<br/> <br/> I'm just advocating for a more streamlined ship builder to mak...

<t> When I first purchased the game, I was enamoured with the technological prowess of the Quameno, combined with a Techocratic government. Problem was, getting off the ground economy-wise was too slow and I would be quickly overpowered by faster expanding empires.<br/> <br/> Right now I'm enjoying ...
