wait! No order queue is by design not "didnt make it in by launch"?! Thats insane. Honestly close to a "no buy" by it self. It was such an integrale part of ship and fleet management of DWU

To be honest, no building queue, and also, i see, the grafic and i ask miself, why the game didint need better grafic, it was near perfect, instead of that, why not add buildings in planets, or a better land combat, for me when they do that they want to copy galactic civilization

Well done.

When it comes to the shields it's really a matter of what they are facing. It's the old Alpha Strike vs DPS. If the enemy has a large damage but slow reload they could potentially do more damaging on their opening attack by breaching your shields quickly. Where as if enemy has a lot of rapid fire weapons with lower damage sure the higher shields will hold out longer but they won't bounce back as quickly where as the faster recharge can recharge more between shots and reduce it one more. The shields also impact how you might handle the ships. The larger amount means you can stay in the fight longer before taking internal damage. Where as the faster recharge means you can engage in more hit & run style tactics as you fly in do the damage, fall back to recharge shields, and then do it again. While the enemy hasn't had time to fully recover due to slower shield regen.

This release version looks infinitely better. More polished.

If you do another playthrough after this, could you play in an older galaxy please? I'd love to see a playthrough where other empires are already firmly established.

looking at this I have to say I find DW1 aestetically more pleasing

I am also curious about if the game saves the research points. Maybe someone in the comments knows it?

Pretty sure that one unit in the game is going to be 1au, the standard astronomical unit in reality and is the average distance from earth to the sun. but yeh I can see that you are actually saying that the player can't measure a sphere/circle that is 1au from a given ship or planet. "For general reference, we can say that one astronomical unit (AU) represents the mean distance between the Earth and our sun. An AU is approximately 93 million miles (150 million km). It's approximately 8 light-minutes."

huh, I thought the engines made sense the old way. Super efficient during "normal use", but not during combat

I don't know, their whole shtick is they are supposed to be super efficient. The old ones were I think like 5x less efficient than any other engine...

Does "Manual Fleet Ship Management" mean that you have to send your fleets in for repairs manually? Seems that would become quite tedious. Is there a setting so that you manually put fleets together, while setting automatic ship repairs? Thanks. Looking forward to the series. I also followed some of your pre-release videos.

@TortugaPower

There is a setting for just that! You can have manual fleets, but ask them to go repair themselves automatically and then rejoin the fleet.

Would you get the option to research and build those special shields if you had Zenox in your empire, even if your main species was something else? Or are those bonuses just fixed at the start of the game, and there's no way to discover those technologies if you don't start with them? (Not even stealing the technology?) Just wondering. PS. These have been great, Tortuga, but I'll probably only watch another day or so. After all, once I get the game myself, I'll be too busy _playing_ it. But I do appreciate how much I've learned from watching these. Thanks!

@@TortugaPower I just got the game, and so far, I've been doing nothing but reading the manual and the Galactopedia (just the general concepts, so far), and started looking around the screen. And I _think_ you're wrong about that, Tortuga. If you go into the Galactopedia, select "General Concepts," then "Research." There's a section on "Race-Specific Tech" which indicates (unless I'm _really_ reading that wrong) that you can get those technologies - and, presumably, make the item? - by trading for the tech. I _suspect_ that you could also steal it, but that's just a guess. Also, it says "sometimes," so maybe a species isn't always going to be happy to trade away their advantage? Heh, heh. Note that you can't trade a traded technology to a third party (which I'm very happy to see). We'll see. I just thought I'd let you know. Again, I'm going to try a diplomatic game in my first attempt, so I'll see if this actually works. :)
