Yeah that's why I have the active sensors attached to the drones. Sure, they'll broadcast where my ship is but they AI isn't smart enough to look at where the drone originated from.

Also am I setting my fire control wrong? I go into combat settings, select the right fire control, set the fire control mode and click set mode but nothing happens and as soon as I navigate away it gets reset to none.
That can work I think, although I think it might be better to use buoys as submunissions in the drone, for a bigger duration of sensor painting.

I was thinking of trying a fun experiment for this game.  Basically in order to simulate a multiplayer experience for Aurora I want to start a game with multiple players being in charge of various factions that start on earth.  Instead of passing around the game, I will control it while giving detailed information to the players through pms while letting them make the decisions for their nation.  I am wondering if there would be anyone interested in partaking of this little experiment.

It was done already on these very forums, but the game collapsed a few days ago. I'm currently running another game with two forums controlling a nation each.

But then Aurora is an amazing game, and we cannot have too many Aurora games. I'd love to join.

Ah great, I was looking for at least three people. Ok, before I set up a thread for this each of you will need to pick a nation.  Here is a list of nations that took was inspired to use from another fiction:

United States
European Union
People's Republic of China
Japanese Alliance
Russian Federation
Union of South American Nations
Republic of India
Islamic Alliance

This is not definite list, instead it is more like a list of suggestion.  You are free to create up your own earth-based nation even ones that replace the nations I suggested, I just ask that if you do, create a description of the nation.  Don't be afraid to go to crazy, like a Germany who survived through WWII or a revival of the Roman Empire.

But then Aurora is an amazing game, and we cannot have too many Aurora games. I'd love to join.

More specifically, after the first few turns people started never submitting orders until prompted by me, and then eventually not submitting them at all.

I'm a bit resentful that everyone here is volunteering when I had to close my game due to lack of players :P

Part of my plan in case that happens, which we all know is very likely, is to have that nation control by temporary leader (me) until either the player can be recontacted with or a replacement can be found.  Hopefully this will prevent stalling out.  Also, slightly different then yours, a lot more information is hidden from the leaders then in yours as most of the  information about their nation will be pmed to them directly.  The only information available to everyone is through civilian sources, like newspapers and the such.  In about 4 hours I will start up a game and a thread anyone else who wants to join is free to post before then.
