@@Regonarr i haven't played the first DW:U because i couldn't read the blurry font. I think DW2 has one of the best interfaces of all time once you learn how to use it. It also supports multithreading and 64bit compared to the first game. Performance is not quite there yet, but i expect huge improvements in the near future. Factions are not very unique at this point and major content is missing, but the core gameplay loop is already pretty solid. The only real complaints i have left is that you cannot queue ship orders yet and that automated fleets don't wait to get fuel from their tankers. Apparently people also miss some freedom in ship design compared to the old game which still has active players.

It is bugged. My maintenance rise always to 100% everytime I change the empire funding levels screen to another but at the same time I get surplus of money to invest in colonies and science..
What would you say, is the game deep and different enough to put hundreds of hours into it? I looked at it at release and I wasn't really convinced back then. Too similar to the first one and all in all not that different to other 4x games.
I also bounced off at release. Haven't played the first DW. This one definitely still has issues. You cannot queue ship orders yet, fleets don't wait for fuel tankers and just keep going without gas. Content is missing. The audio is so crap that i had to mute the entire game because i couldn't even disable the annoying humming when looking at a star. The devs keep modding support at a tight leash, so nobody else can help to fix their game faster. Overall it still feels like an Early Access, but at this point the core gameplay loop is decent enough that you can work around most of the remaining issues. To me it feels worth playing because its unique enough compared to other 4x games. But you really have to dig deep into the details and not fear turning certain automation off. Then it allows very creative strategies that you simply cannot do in other games. Its not just arbitrary stats like in Stellaris. Positioning, sensors and good logistics can actually make a difference in this game.
This is just that i wanted
don't worry, i'm not planning to leave X3. I just couldn't really find a decent guide for this topic 🙂
How is the game at the current state compared to DW:U? Wanted to dive in, but unsure to pick the new or the old one.
