Release Notes:

The Skid Rowdies are looking new blood to fill up the ranks.
We're a professional team of dedicated sceners with big mark
under sceners. We believe on the ground idealism of the root
of the real old school scene. We do all this for fun and
nothing else. We don't earn anything on our hobby, as we do
this for the competition and the heart of what got the scene
started in the mid eighties.

If you think you got something to offer, then don't hold back
on contacting us as soon as possible.

twice the fun   \/ double the trouble

On with the game release information:

Distant Worlds is a vast, pausable real-time, 4X space
strategy game. Experience the full depth and detail of large
turn-based strategy games, but with the simplicity and ease of
real-time, and on the scale of a massively-multiplayer online
game.

Vast galaxies are made to order: up to 1400 star systems, with
up to 50,000 planets, moons and asteroids. Galaxies are so
deep, fun and immersive that you wonÆt want to finish the
game. Build, expand and improve your empire endlessly. The
galaxy is packed with life and activity. Encounter other
empires, independent alien colonies, traders, pirates and
space monsters. Explore star systems, asteroid fields, gas
clouds, supernovae, galactic storms and black holes. Discover

about the galaxy's troubled history...

intense game in a crowded galaxy or take your time in an epic
game spread across a vast galaxy!
