It's unfortunate that they have such a wrong-headed view of how Steam works. I'm sure there are many thousands of people out there who would take a chance on this game if only it was available on Steam for a less cash.

Zombie #246 posted:Never ran into this before, pirates took over my starting starport. Any way to take it back other than holding on and teching to colonization and coming back for it later? I know you can buy bases from empire players, but I don't know if you can do that with pirate factions... maybe check the diplomacy screen and see if they will sell it? Otherwise you'll just have to tech up to boarding pods and send in the marines.

Build a fleet armed with large numbers of nuclear devastators and nuke them until the planet is an irradiated husk.

The publisher only just recently allowed their games to be placed on steam at all. I imagine it will be a long time before they embrace the steam deep discounting way of things, if they ever do.

Take note that nuking them can tank your relations with other empires. Exterminating the bug monsters makes you look like a bully if you do so before they reveal their true nature.

Mining ships can move and travel around, out of your control, to harvest resources which they transport to your Ports. Stations remain in orbit around what they harvest and the resources are hauled away by freighters.

So it wasn't just me. Was very frustrating to have my Keterov veteran superspy get captured over and over on the simplest missions, reload after reload.PittTheElder posted:Speaking of which, is there any particularly good method for locating pirate bases, other than just watching which way they flee and holding a god damned ruler up to my screen? I'd love it if my exploration ships would just constantly patrol the systems around my borders, but they won't. You can steal their map data and then icons should appear on the map where their bases are located.

Sometimes the RNG loves you, and sometimes... well, just go look at the Distant Worlds LP that's going on right now...

Paradox needs to go talk to the Herbert estate and get them to sign off on Crusader Kings: Dune edition. Distant Worlds content: I wish I could choose to enslave or exterminate specific races, so I could get all these filthy bug monsters off my planets without murdering my lizard friends. It's hard being a Space Tyrant.
