Any tips for me... my increments are automatically re-sizing to 60 seconds, no enemy ships are in sight. I went to SM mode, and it said that "the increment was adjusted as a ship is in firing range." Again, turned on all my sensors, none of my ships are being attacked, and it's taken an entire afternoon of running the game to pass a day. Kind of makes playing the game difficult.

I'm waiting for my account to be activated on the Aurora boards, but was hoping someone here could help.

And its stuff like that which makes me say this game still needs a lot of work.

Any game you must cheat in to even play is not quite playable. Its still fun, but has some major issues. I can't wait until he irons some of the bigger stuff out though.

Some NPR's must be fighting, sorry, but you're going to have to deal with it.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Okay, well, I guess I'll just let it run for a while longer...

not necessarily, I've seen that happen when NPR's run out of ammo and hover over precursor ruins and it will continue forever.

Strangely, I have yet to see precursors in my game. ???

I'll keep you posted. It's been over two in-game days progressing one minute at a time... hopefully it'll end at some point. Right before this happened, I went into negative wealth, but I got back to the positive before it started.

Yea that's a crazy long time for NPRs to be fighting.  Sounds to me something is happening preventing both sides from shooting eachother, but still thinking they can.

Better than it used to be.  Those 60 second increments used to be 5 second increments.

I ended up giving up after two more hours of that. Even though 60 seconds is much better than 5 seconds, it still made it relatively unplayable. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this game, because it has some very excellent aspects, but I think I'll have to come back and check out a later version (I was using 5.14) in a few months.

I can offer you one other way out that * might )* work:

On the system map screen, change the time Aurora sets its pulses from "Automatic" to something large, like 5 days. Then try and use this to brute-force your way through the situation.

So what has changed since 5.02? I haven't played in a while.

The most important changes are new FUN and genetic modification.

I read about genetic modification, but please elaborate on the new FUN!

This game is as good as lost, dammit.

That game lasted only to the 5th year. Arrrgh.
