Re: DW2 FAQ/QnA megathread - Ask your question here!

One of the main missing pieces from the game is a simple FOB design (Forward Operating Base). While you can take a Monitoring station and 'minimally' buff it up, it's usually far too weak to withstand any reasonable assault and short of assigning a fleet to it, you can't make it any better. I should...

Re: Retire ship clogs up Spaceport

Thank you very much. Yea, I let it sit there for hours and it just never finishes one ship, so it's a bug. Glad they are fixing it.

How do you change the queue order of ship production?

Retire ship clogs up Spaceport

If I send a few ships I captured to "Retire at spaceport xxx", they head there and the spaceport seems to completely clog up on them. No more ships are produced from the space port and the build queue just stacks way up. The 'clogged' ship appears with a RED background and appears to stay ...

Music cycle?

Is there a way to tell DW2 to play the next background music?
Mine seems to play the same song/selection over and over.

Re: A few questions

Thanks. That helps. If there are 10 derelicts, you now have to match up what you see on the view screen with what's in the exploration list and it's not so easy compared to just right clicking a derelict and saying "queue..." Seems like a negative compared to DWU. I think in general the Ri...

A few questions

- When viewing an abandoned ship, the only available command when selecting it is "Queue Attack against ...". Is there a way (like in DWU) to Queue a construction ship to come "build it" (repair it)? It's very awkward to go find a construction ship and then find the abandoned shi...

<t> I was really hoping to see it by Christmas. Seems like a huge target date, marketing opportunity, and bankroll lost.<br/> <br/> It's been so long since DW1 that I've essentially forgotten most of it and have lost a lot of interest in DW2. I hope that the release is so incredibly stellar that it ...

RE: Refueling Starbase Help

<t> I need something early in the game, and don't have resupply ships yet. You may be right about the fuel cells issue. Unfortunately, my only goal here was to stay completely away from systems, or clouds where pirates patrol, and basically have a deep space refueling station setup. Everything seems...

RE: Refueling Starbase Help

<t> It has 3 cargo bays, but as Bingeling points out, it's very likely the station had nearly full fuel cells (they were sitting around 80% fuel), but the Cargo bays must fill up AFTER the fuel cells fill up, so probably no fuel in those yet. That makes sense. I just hope the cargo bays will actuall...

Refueling Starbase Help

<t> Hi,<br/> I've designed a refueling starbase. It has 3 or 4 docking bays, about 6 fuel cells, weapons, shields, reactor.. just the basics. It takes about 15 minutes or so and sure enough freighters start fueling it up just fine.<br/> <br/> However, if I have a ship, or fleet very nearby and comma...

<t> I've seen that capturing as many of these as one might want is fairly easy as a pirate. However, I'm wondering if someone does this wouldn't that essentially make the independents NOT want to purchase goods from your stations? If you have a thriving mining venture on the side, and plenty of reso...
