Let's Play Distant Worlds - Episode 1: Set-up phase

In this game we simply set-up a game of Distant Worlds using the new beta build, 1.7.0.10. I particularly want to play an aggressive race this time around.

If you are wanting action then this may not be very interesting for you and perhaps the next episode will be more what you are looking for.

In this episode we look at the new options introduced in the beta and the set-up we will be using for the game. We also perform a little house-keeping to optimise our ship and base designs slightly, and also set-up an initial defensive fleet. We set-up our research and do a few other small things before we start the game

There's always some faggot who sees a new game and instantly yells "OMG DATS TOTLY RIPIN OFF ___ GAME"

If this is a ripoff of Galactic Civilizations, then GC is a ripoff of Stars! Care to go back further?

I kinda like the game i think i will buy it.

Woah! You've played Stars? The only other people I know who have are all in my family. And you appear to have loved it as much as me. I feel like we've got instant rapport!

What kinds of races did you prefer to play? I usually would play races that focused mostly on having high toleration for all environments and generally get which ever perk it was that allowed the, I think it was called metamorph hull. I never lost one of those as they could take so many torpedoes and so much armor. :-)

Finally someone who has even heard of Stars!...

Still one of the games with the best strategic depth i have ever seen and played.

Thanks for doing the playthrough. 4X games always grab my attention for some reason, and it's always fun to watch how other people make their way.

That's totally a ripoff of Starflight.... Hmm, doesn't seem to work...
