Re: What's The Plan Man?

I read the roadmap report over at Steam. Thanks so much for giving us DW2 fans an update on your plans. At least now I have some idea of when I may begin again and finally see the Shakturi. Still lots of races to improve slowly but surely. Since you're a small indie I know it'll take time as you sai...

What's The Plan Man?

It sure would be nice if we could get a basic roadmap of what's to come and when it might be coming. Is this really a trade secret? I would love to get a basic idea of what DLC's are to come and what they'll contain. It would be nice to get an idea of timing, not a release date but something like in...

Re: Early Access, Not Ready For Prime Time

I posted bug reports here on the tech support forum and they were acknowledged as such. I was even asked for saved game files but they were too big to upload. I don't feel version 1.2.2.0 is ready enough for my taste, that is my choice. Some think it is fine enough to play and that's their choice an...

Re: Early Access, Not Ready For Prime Time

Maxim, I've reported several bugs on the tech support forum here. I just tried to send you a saved game file via email but the file size is too big for my yahoo or MS Outlook email functions. I'm not going to add google drive ever nor some other one I've never heard of before just to send a couple o...

If you have saves that are too large for the forum, you could send them to me directly at maxim.k@slitherine.co.uk or share the file through a file-sharing service such as WeTransfer or Google Drive. I tried sending you a saved game file but neither of my email systems, yahoo mail or MS Outlook wan...

Early Access, Not Ready For Prime Time

I have the latest 1.2.2.0 version of DW2 with both DLC's and after a few weeks I feel rather disappointed that this game that's been released for about two years really is still early access and definitely not ready for prime time. Glad I used an annual 41% discount but I feel let down. I've found a...

Reserving Money for Colonizing Planets Doesn't End

I had one game where I did use the function to tell the system that I wanted to colonize a particular world, before I figured out how to do it manually. After my second one I noticed much later that after that planet had been successfully colonized that under my cash on hand number in the top right ...

+1 _ definitely agree that Matrix has been around long enough that it should have a much better file upload system to make it easier for us to send or share files for bug reports.

Maxim - I don't have WeTransfer or Google Drive and have absolutely no interest in google garbage. I do have dropbox where I could upload a save and then clear it for you to access.

Re: Known bugs

Please upload saves for each of these instances as this should help us track down the issue for effectively. Sadly I don't have a save of these instances. If I run into these situations again I'll make sure to save them. Then I just have to figure out how to upload them as I found I couldn't Add Fi...

Re: Little disturbing things

I agree with HTG about ships building over 40% look too much like active ships. I love his idea of having ships show they are still building until 100$ done and to show construction progress in their name as HTG showed. Abandoned stations should be ready to investigate even if a player declined init...

Re: Known bugs

I've seen somewhere where some have complained that manually controlled fleets sometimes go on attack missions without human orders to do so. I had a small fleet near my home colony go off and attack an Outlaws Nest in my home system without me ordering it to. Actually I had several instances of my ...

Crash to Desktop Bug

I'm playing a new game in version 1.2.2.0 and have noticed a crash to desktop problem. I'm in the early part of the game and only have a colony and about half a dozen ships I built. I am accessing the colony screen and clicked on the Resources line to bring up that additional page to the side. I was...

Re: Lost Fleets Outside of Galaxy & 8x Speed Research

The fleet going outside the galaxy definitely sounds strange. Do you mind uploading a save where you're seeing this? Ideally a save from before you see the fleet go outside the galaxy, as well as after you notice. Regarding the tech update issue - we've had other reports of this and we're investiga...

Lost Fleets Outside of Galaxy & 8x Speed Research

I'm just getting started in learning DW2 many years after mastering DW. I've been setting the AI to fully run my empire just to get a feel for the game and any new changes. I've noticed a few inconsistencies that I'm not sure are bugs but may be. I have noticed that some of my fleets go missing outs...

Re: What's in the Upcoming Expansion?

@thegreybetween - Thanks for the informative answer. I had the original DW but I don't think I had the U version as I never saw Shakturi late in the game. I hope that's done better than in stellaris which was poorly done for having the ancients return. They should be a good test for a late game empi...

What's in the Upcoming Expansion?

I'm wondering what's in the new expansion pack about the return of the Shakturi. Will this be like Stellaris where ancient races reappear late in the game that had to be done to make that pathetic game more challenging because the AI's were so atrocious? I really didn't like that concept at all. I l...

Re: Roadmap questions, suggestions

I know that AI stands for Artificial Ignorance but I've found the AI does a decent job of designing ships though we can design better ones. Perhaps you should consider limiting yourself to designing the big important ships after multiple components have had time to improve. Any game like this is goi...

Hello Steve. Thanks for a good game. However, I am wondering why to prioritize AI when basic mechanisms either seems not to work or be extremely difficult to use and comprehend. Especially the resource/convot transportation leads to a lot of frustration among players. For me the present system or r...

Re: Looks Like the original

The more I read the manual and galactopedia the more I felt this was a continuation of the original game, so many functions seemed familiar. One thing I like is that now that I'm done reading I can now set everything to automated and kill all messages and just enjoy letting clock run while I get to ...
