riadsala Posted November 28, 2015 Hello, I'm might tempted to pick up Distant Worlds Universe in the sale. Does anybody else here play this, and can anybody offer any advice on how to get started? Are there good tutorials? I remember Fraser offering some advice on one of the podcasts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irishjohn Posted December 6, 2015 Sorry I can't be any help, but I'll give this a bump... I bought Distant Worlds Universe in an earlier sale, tried to play it and couldn't get traction. Definitely down for any advice too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Procyon Lotor Posted December 7, 2015 I think the advice was either (1) Start by automating everything and just controlling a single ship, then slowly roll back the automation as you get more comfortable; or (2) turn off all automation and take the plunge. I played it years ago, and I found that it helped to be very mindful about what I automated and what I didn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vesperan Posted December 8, 2015 Sorry I had a pretty good guide at one point but evidently did not keep the link. It fell into the 'automate lots and then scale it back' side of things. In the end the time investment to understand/get good at the game was too much for me. Its still install, just.. I can't be bothered investing hours to understand what to do again to play it. Also - pirates! Bloody awful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
