Welp, I designed my first Assault Shuttle (2 companies each) and a Mothership that can hold 2 of them. The catch is the shuttles go about 6000 km/s. Which is why I grouped the Mothership with the rest of the fleet I am going to use to run over the New Aberdeen Conciousness with. I plan to stop the ship with the help of liberal amounts of missiles, then send my boarders crashing through the holes and take the ship.

FUUUUUUUUUUUU-

[Tarran]

Yeah, Aurora tends to do that.

Read the tutorials, ask questions here, that's pretty much the standard way to learn.

You can also ask on the official forums too.

Good luck.

If you are going for boarding actions just use 1 company per assult shuttle and bring more shuttles. Even if you cause damage to slow down a ship, unless you have very high tech engines you will not be able to get close to the 20x target speed needed to not take casualties from just trying to land on the target with 2 drop transports per shuttle.

Don't be afraid to create many games just to play around with the various parts of the game. Use SM mode to set up situations and experiment with different orders/ship designs/component designs at different levels of tech.

So... Is there any way to compare owned systems if the two races use different naming systems via developer mode? I can't seem to find the New Aberdeen Conciousness' home system, they're jumping in somewhere from a gate my sensors missed.

If you've got a hidden point in your systems, the only ways to reveal it would be: Enter it from the other side, conquer a civ with knowledge of it, and (IIRC) have an active sensor painting one of their ships as it transits the point. Might be wrong on the last one, though.

Yeah, I spotted a point when one of the enemy ships jumped and I was tracking it, which eventually lead to another dead end.

Thinking of doing a proper AAR in the few spare moments when I'm not writing To Set Right writing my parts of the collab writing papers for some class or another procrastinating while surfing the internet busy. I'll post a bit of an introduction in a bit and see how much you all hate my writing.

[Jacob/Lee]

Oh hey, that system I chased the Aberdeen ship into wasn't surveyed after all >.>

Time to check it out and find those bastards.

[Jacob/Lee]

Doubletoast: can you queue shipyard tasks? I focus on something else after setting a job for a shipyard then forgot to do what I was going to do next when the first job is finished.

[Mini]

Nope.

[Jacob/Lee]

Well, this is strange. I have the setting "all jump points have jump gates" on and I just jumped into a new-found system with my scout. It's the norm, uninhabitable planets orbiting a single star with a lot of asteroids. The weird part? The jump point doesn't have a gate on this side... Now my scout is stranded there.

[Flying Dice]

Just bite the bullet and start playing with autogates off: It'll improve your strategy, help keep rabble away from your home system, and you can very easily make jump-capable survey vessels with the starting free RP. (Military for two reasons: MilJDs are much smaller, and it lets me easily retool between geo and grav survey construction. I also use fairly standard house rules that I play with maint. off to save on pointless micromanagement, but design ships as if it were on.)

In my latest game, I found a -few- planets with "Colony's", It gives me the option to refuel and resupply, But my sensors show NO life at ALL on the planet, Just wondering what this is, Thanks.

P.S: Also, How would I access the event log?

IIRC this is a bug. For events, on the System View window, either click the "show events" checkbox in the Display tab on the left, or click the gold and yellow button second from the right on the top row, in order to open a new window with additional options for viewing events, such as non-combat filters.
