It was one of my least favourite parts of the old game, and such a chore to keep on top of.

i would also strongly suggest to allow refueling systems (like on Tankers) on Spaceports so ships that want only fuel dont need to dock and undock all the time but can be refilled in space around the station. Would greatly help reduce the Docking Traffic. Mit allow i mean that they work. You can al...

In my last game since the dlc, my auto raid fleets were not chasing down AI fleets very well. I've had frequent instances of invasions happening with fleets sitting around doing nothing. In some cases just one system away. I don't know if this is something I am doing wrong eg maybe with the sensors...

I feel notifications are in general bugged to high fuck. Pardon my French. If you close that horrorshow of icons, then see that one tab has messages, click the tab, no messages. Only way to be halfway sure you're seeing notifications is if you leave the "all" tab open along with that eyeso...

I hope they fix this by the Return of the Shakturi release. I will not buy the expansion if they don't because I literally can't play the game outside of GE Force Now since I don't have a PC. I am sure developers are really busy but I wish Erik would make an official comment about this one way or a...

Distant World's Gratuitous Space Battles... I'd play~! Space Empires had a sort of combat arena you could try out different designs in to see how they worked against various enemies. Clearly not the time to work on it, but given the automated nature of the game, it might even be an interesting side...

Really good point!

Hopefully he bought a lottery card that weekend.

So I was thinking about a ship scale mod for Space Empires IV I used to play that also had some interesting ship designs, eg a massive rail gun mount that ran almost the length of the ship. That kind of thing. So if you look at the US Navy a Battleship is about 5-10 times the tonnage of a Destroyer....

Well, yeah. The clever idea in my original message which you must have skimmed.

Okay, "strategic resources" as opposed to what the game calls "construction resources", right? Since you're defining a subset of the available construction resources, I'll assume you're differentiating them. Research soaks up a lot of resources, and some of the end game, repeatab...

Currently an inbound attack fleet to my homeworld has exactly the same urgency as a freighter having a scuffle with a pirate. Conquering a world is just as relevant as capturing an Escort. Discovering an ancient fortress? Right up there with finding some umpa lumpa fruit, or whatever the spurious lu...

You can edit policy-files ("Ackadarin.xml" ) in the "policy"-folder. Each file has rules regarding what intelligence missions they use: <IntelligenceMissionAllowSabotageConstruction>true</IntelligenceMissionAllowSabotageConstruction> <IntelligenceMissionAllowStealTerritoryMap>tr...

As per title. When I have a large fleet, or a moderately successful fleet, I acquire a lot of Generals, so many in fact I can't see how many troops I have. I can look at each individual troop transport but it's not exactly ideal. Is this number shown anywhere else? https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/zsp...

Hilarious we still don't have an ingame explanation of engagement ranges for fleets, isn't it? How long is a piece of string? Sector range. Okay, the rest are self-explanatory maybe but at least in DWU, you knew what a sector was. I'm not so sure it is hilarious... ;) ...but you can to some degree ...

Can anybody point me to a case of slavery not being ultimately self-defeating in our planets history? Are you suggesting the USA has been hampered by it's slave-owning past? I mean, the slaves' descendants have been hampered, the state not so much. Modern lowkey slavery systems in China and the Mid...

I agree with this, but... what is your choice? Many/smaller fleets? I find that to be a pain,too, when I have many ships. That's why you automate most of your fleets and only manually control one or two. You have no chance against the AI if you're trying to coordinate your 6 fleets against their th...

-Large fleets are a bad idea. The way the game works, fleets will use one station at a time when refueling, repairing or retrofiting. When you have many ships in the same fleet, they end up in queue forever. They also become sitting duck if the station gets attacked, and unavailable to respond to a...
