Now that they have construction ships, you're pretty much boned if they start hitting you. The best bet would probably be to camp the wormhole and swarm their survey ships; I've noticed that they'll occasionally 'give up' and stop sending ships if you wipe out multiple waves in a row.

Incidentally, I'd save any salvage until you're at higher tech, to avoid wasting the free RP on stuff you can research in a few months.

Don't wrecks decay after a while?

[Hanzoku]

Nope, swarm and AI will happily salvage though

Trying to get into this. Mostly having no idea what to do...

I'm quite sad that most LP's of this here stopped after a few turns.

[LoSboccacc]

being guilty of being a drop out, I can say that the five second turn boring death is what killed all my LP

it also killed a tutorial attempt.


I love/hate this game.

NPRs don't salvage yet. And the Swarm aren't salvaging, per se...

Speaking from personal experience, mostly because it's a massive pain in the ass to run an Aurora LP properly and still keep to a regular update schedule. :| There's a reason why most Aurora fiction is AARs.

Bah, it keeps giving Error 3265 generated by Dao. fields ...

Finally got around to designing and deploying boarding parties! There was an unarmed Precursor vessel stuck in one of my systems after I took out all their listening posts. It'd show up periodically on my display as it rotated through the orbiting sensor sweep. So I figured, "Aha! A perfectly safe target to try my hand at combat dropping marines!"

Trained four marine companies, built four combat dropship FACs with 14000km/s top speed (to increase chances of a successful intercept), and a FAC tender to hold them all, plus more comfortable quarters for the marines.

Shipped out the capture squadron (with a pack of destroyers on standby in case things went pear-shaped). FAC Tender had shrouded engines so i was able to close in nice and tight, park the tender, transfer the troops into their drop pods, and launch all four FACs.

Hostile caught sight of the incoming dropships at about 20k range, and tried to run at about 6200km/s. No problem catching him. Despite better than a 2:1 speed ratio, half the marines missed the target entirely and were incinerated in the engine flare. Two of the companies landed on the hull, but since the armor was unbreached, they had to deploy charges and burn their way in. No biggie, since it wasn't a firefight situation. They finally crack the hull, slip inside, and combat ensues. Combat sitrep in 120...90...60...30...

And then I discovered the hard way that I'd tried to board a Combat Transport. My combat ratio was 0.0008 >_<
I can only imagine the curbstomp battle that must have been.

What kind of 3265 error is it?

Does it go away if you just keep clicking okay?

I got it in 2 flavours.
One  on start up that kept coming back untill I restarted my PC and which I fixed by not installing in program files.

The other comes up whenever I try to press the save button when creating a new campaign. It says"
Item not found in this collection.
Then goes away. The save is completely empty.

[Tarran]

For clarification: Are you trying to save after you've pressed 'New' and created a new campaign?

That is hilarious.

Yes.

Then that might be something new, or at the very least something very obscure. You should report it on the official forums.

Iknorite? Like something out of an action movie, where the redshirt special ops guys look all badass and crack into the enemy ship, only for an "OH SHI-" moment as the camera pans through the breach to reveal tens of thousands of armored alien badasses waiting for them.

So my marines were basically just dramatic fodder to establish that the enemy is, in fact, badass.

Kinda anti-climatic then that I blew it out of space shortly thereafter with my battlegroup.
