In my current game I'm fairly wealthy so I've designed a cheap little minimally-armed sensor bouy which I've taken to building in a dispersed pattern around my empire's borders. It has enough firepower to deter pirates and long range sensors let me see other empire's ships at quite a distance.

wait, is the update out?

[forsaken1111]

not yet, why? Their estimate was Monday.

Anyone have any notable battles/moments/discovery? I'm curios, I, myself, currently don't remember anything notable in my games.

well, every time i make a new design, the AI erases it or pushes it down with a new design. I want most of the ships to be designed by AI, but a few I want to make myself and I dont want the AI to ignore them.

What can I do?

[Tarran]

Set it to suggest, just don't expect the AI not to ask multiple times as soon as you get a new technology.



Also, bug, even when I say no to a suggestion to stop a war it ends it anyway, what the hell?

[ductape]

ship design does not have a suggest mode. just off or on.

[Tarran]

Hm, Well I guess the AI did a decent enough job for me not to care.

Sorry, cant help.

I disliked controls more than anything - i just wanted to press RMB on something and choose what to do with it, not searching for exact ship then for his target etc, so i automated them.
Then i found myself setting more and more features to auto, when all was automated i watched how game plays itself for some time - quite average screensaver actually, so i uninstalled it eventually. Maybe I'll give it another try someday.

Dunno if I have posted this already, but I'm waiting for their next patch.
The game is broken for me, it pisses me off all the crashes and fatal errors, also resupplying a fleet shouldn't be such a pain in the *** IMO.

The game is nice, but fixes are needed.
I'm having fun with DF2010, but some bugs are breaking it for me right now, unfortunately 
But I shouldn't even be playing, I got exams in some days anyway..

The bug on DF is a bridge that I built, and dwarves don't 'detect' it or whatever, not leaving nor entering the fortress (it's the only way in), giving me a lot of headache trying to fix this, no access outside, and a lot of homeless, hungry, thirsty and idle/buggy dwarves..

DW v1.0.3 announced. List of fixes posted, they look GREAT! Addressing some of the most annoying features for me right now, including ship design and fleet control. I never had problems with crashes, but that is a main focus of this update also.

BTW, these guys at Matrix are wonderful, they really do get to work fast.

[Tarran]

Woot!

The upcoming ability to retrofit large numbers of ships from the ships screen will cause me to smile for several days.
Even in my sleep.

I agree.
Also, being able to upgrade your ships [design screen] without having to rename them, and being able to retrofit your own-designed ships would be a nice addition (that should be already in the game, IMO)
At least I've never been able to retrofit my own designs, only AI-created ones.

I think this patch will make the game 100% for me :]

Honestly every Matrix game i have ever seen has sucked pretty hardcore, but DW if support keeps up will be the first to bring a smile to my face.
