Can you give a short comment on the interface scaling. There was one screenshot posted on the official forum a while ago, but it only scaled the lower left part of the interface. Can every text box/informational part be scaled or is this a global setting?
I would like to add one more thing; auto fleet repair. When you automate a fleet I would like it to automatically replace destroyed ships and repair any damaged ones.
That is one awkward purple scarf.

I will admit to having sat through a Wiggles concert when my daughter was about 6 or so. The scarf wasn’t the only thing about them that was awkward.
Man, is this thread derailed!
I SAY DERAIL IT UNTIL I CAN BUY THE GAME AND BRIAN CAN STOP SNICKERING AT US FROM HIS SPACESHIP.
HOW DARE YOU SIR. I NEVER SNICKER.
I giggle, motherfucker.
On topic, I’m a better smuggler than a raider or a merc, at least so far.
In that case you need to change your location to Millennium Falcon…
If you ever had any doubts that the developer for DW lived in the southern hemisphere, this is it. They’re going to release the game at the beginning of the summer here in the USA. Ahhhhh…
Hey guys, some of the folks from Gamers with Jobs asked me to do a Google Hangout trying to explain why I love Distant Worlds so much, and I’m gonna go live at at 7 PM Pacific (in around 35 minutes). If you wanna join in, you can watch here:

If you want in on the Hangout itself, let me know. :)
Hey Brian,
It’s great that you organized something like that. Thank you and I hope you all had fun.
I came here to post a recent “Let’s Try Distant Worlds” as well, which may be of use to some that are still debating the merits:
We expect to build the Distant Worlds: Shadows gold master candidate installer tomorrow, which means a release mid to late next week.
Regards,
Now that you will have a fully fledged out universe simulation including economy, I hope your next installment will take that as a starting point for a privateer type of game of trading, exploring etc of an individual character. Who could, if very successful, become the leader of a pirate faction which could, if very successful, become a star empire. That would truly be awesome!
Hi YourConscience,
You can play DW that way now actually, at least as of the new Shadows expansion. Admittedly that’s not its focus, but it is possible to roleplay it that way. There are now Ship Captain characters, who can be promoted to Fleet Admirals and from there can become Pirate Leaders. Pirate Factions have various playstyles and there are missions you can take on witih a ship or a fleet, but it’s possible for a very successful pirate faction to also transition to a full planetary empire from it’s initial space-based state.
Regards,
My pleasure man, had a TON of fun, I just didn’t know that when others talked it took focus away from the game. Ah well, learned for next time. :) I hope it helps convince folks to try the game. :)
As an aside: Holy crap Brian you look and sound the polar opposite of the way I thought you would.
I never turned my camera on HOW DID YOU SEE ME GET OUT OF MY HOUSE ;)
Seriously, what WERE you expecting? ;)
