Distant Worlds: Universe is set to be released in May Get more information on Distant Worlds Universe from its official product page. Post : 1. Any clues on pricing yet? Got a few people still sitting on the fence about picking up DW and the right pricing may bring them into the fold.

Post : 2. Hi guys, Pricing and upgrade info will be available in a future announcement. Post : 3. As I'm not a modder and already have Shadows I'm rather underwhelmed by the info on Universe on the product page. The only new content seems to be "A new official storyline built using the new modding capabilities, covering the first war between the Freedom Alliance and the Shaktur Axis, in which you have access to the tech required to build your own planet destroyers, establish the Ancient Guardians and research and deploy the Xaraktor virus.

Post : 4. Could you please consider a pre-order that would enable downloading of the former games in the series? Im realy keen on trying DW, but am not inclined to purchase the whole series now that Universe is coming Post : 5. I can think of some interesting tech tree changes but is the A. I opened up more for direction? It is no good adding bio armour if the Bio race researches steel instead.

I am sad some issues are still not being addressed diplomacy,war weariness,ect. Post : 6. The product page says that there is comprehensive modding and customization of diplomatic dialog, Ashbery Maybe there is some hope for us here.

Post : 7. DW All-in-one. I'm getting the boxed version! I'm so excited. Post : 8. Well, for one thing, the physical version of Universe will also include the first full color printed manual for the DW series so that will be in the box. Post : 9. Bug fixes and behind the scenes improvements aren't that exciting for most.

The modding capabilities are frankly awesome though and I would be well and truly shocked if you didn't have a lot more than just the new official storyline to play around with shortly after release. Post : Mods are great. Even if nobody else is going to make mods, I have some tweaks in mind for my own games, such as removing requirements for ship designs all over the shop such as construction yards for space ports , removing life support altogether, and setting size constraints for ship classes.

Ashbery has a good point though - the extent of modding depends on how well the AI will be able to cope. Maybe we can steer it in some way?
