Pre-warp
Ground Combat

Really looking forward to Updated Mass effect mod after Shadow released...
also wanting to play pre-hyperspace era.

I'm really looking forward to the increased demand for resources, hopefully making the game a bit more tactical. I hope that improvements to the graphics engine really smooth things over too.. one of my biggest frustrations with the interface is how it skips and stutters every time I zoom in or out.

I like as well that the pre-warp era limits your ship range so heavily. I always felt it was a bit too easy to build ships that could gallivant across the galaxy right from the beginning of the game. Hand in hand with this goes the increased difficulty and the ramping up of the difficulty when the player does well. I think I'll like this much better than the usual tactic of having everyone gang up on the player when he does well.

And once all that is settled, I'll go straight back to modding every inch of the game I can get my hands on :)

I just want to play as a pirate/mercenary faction really..

also, hopeful for some performance increase especially when zooming & in the dreaded late gaming. doubtful though. :)

Can not say much for the pirate side of things as I have been playing a pre warp empire but the late game is much better, on a 1400-10x10 I do not have the choppy gameplay I used to have and the zooming is better as well, although I do have the odd 30 seconds of sitting on the page up and page down keys when sanity escapes me (often) I still much prefer to save my mouse batteries and use the insert and delete keys the most, insert lets you plan the resources for a system and delete lets you see the area around that system to gauge for other resources and possible threats, obviously when the empire gains proper tech the end key is used to get a better picture. Just easier to control the zoom in segments is all.

Cheers Darkspire, sounds like it has improved somewhat.

well only time will tell for me if its better on my asus G75VW, its an i7 with 16gb or ram and running SSD drives and its supprising that it slows down to a crawl playing even a medium game (700 planets i think) with 11 other races.

As for using hotkeys I dont use them, totally a zoom junkie... just looks and feels more epic. :P

Just to add to what Darkspire has already stated, the consensus I'm getting from other Testers is that performance is definitely improved over previous iterations of DW [:)]

The Economy has been tightened up a bit, and Planets do consume resources to grow.
How much the Planets consume I don't know, but I can verify that resources are consumed even if nothing is being built.

all of the above :)



Plant -> RE: DW:S is near - what are you looking forward to? (5/22/2013 5:52:53 PM)

I am always next to other races :(
I suppose that's what I get for choosing random starting distances for all civilisations. IO am always hemmed in and have to colonise in a most scattered fashion.
The main problem is when the other civilisations start next to each other with no space or even in the same system!



StarLab -> RE: DW:S is near - what are you looking forward to? (5/22/2013 6:47:52 PM)

Looking forward to doing another LP series with Shadows this time around.

(Coming VERY soon!)[8D]
