I really love the idea of having your faction include a civilian component that goes around and does its own thing without regard for your master plan. That new expansion looks like it adds some cool stuff and I think it's gonna be time to pick this up when it comes out.

Thats my favorite part about the game. It makes your empire feel alive. The game is still just too rough around the edges for me to enjoy consistently.

Hmmm. I've been following Distant Worlds for a while now, could you expand on what you mean?

(They really should have a demo :()

If anyone hasn't checked out mods in a while the Graphics Enhancement Mod is amazing, I've been using it + the Gloom Mod + Explosion Mod + Tampa Sound Mod and it makes a massive difference.

There's also Distant Worlds Extended, which I haven't tried but it looks solid.

I didn't even know that mods existed for this, I can't wait to add a bunch more crazy aliens. That graphic mod that changes up a bunch of the icons is really solid looking too, thanks for posting them.

I feel like if they put Distant Worlds on steam for $35-40 the creator could retire in a week of sales.

There are so many half rear end space games that people pre order again and again because nothing fills the void since moo2, but everyone is still looking.
