on that page open up the additional settings and check the decimal seperator is a period and the number grouping is a comma

Sounds like you may be having database corruption then. If you remebered to keep a backup of the original database try replacing the current one with that. Otherwiseyou will probably need to ask over on the aurora forum.

Those strange aliens that do nothing but survey Sol have given me trade access. It got me thinking, it would be pretty interesting if some high explosive/dangerous bug "accidently" got stuck in a cargo vessel heading for the alien system. Inter-galactic terrorism ftw.

You might could hide some fighters inside of them, and then .... booom .... sudden destruction of unaware ships.

Q-ships are the greatest!



I think I might need to actually build asteroid miners... One of my systems has something like 22 comets in it.

Prepare for Invaders, that's all I can say. Abandon the system, defend the Jump Point to it with the best you've got. The Invaders are the toughest special NPR around I believe.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
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.

Oh, so its THOSE guys.   Great.  Here I am barely starting to explore the systems around me. 

Well, I'll station the survey cruiser that found the system not far from the Sol Jump Point in that system, hopefully he can spot anything before they get to Sol, even if he dies in the process.

When I first found it, I flew him near the wormhole, but nothing on thermal or EM showed up.  I figured it wasn't anything special at the time..

Literally all you can do is hold the line until the wormhole closes. 

There is no way to stop them coming through, the best you can hope for is stop them after they are through.

I havent even played a game with workholes active yet, it's not exactly a good idea when you are still new to the game like me.

I haven't dealt with Invaders yet (Or the Precursor, and Swarm for a matter of fact) though can I enable them later in my game, and have them appear.

Well I'll probably be fucked, as I have no space-bound military yet.  All my ships are either freighter, colony ships, or survey ships.  My homeworld is well defended with various missile and meson based PDC's, though.

I colonized Luna as 0.0 cost, but not with humans.  I used gene mods to reduce the gravity tolerance, and heavily terraformed gases to allow breathable atmosphere and heat.  Took hella long time, but I go some Moninites successfully living on a 0.0 cost Luna.  By that time my auto-miners had stripped it bare, though.

Someone set up a colony on Luna using a high training rate ground commander, so all the troops training there got a boost to training speed.  Not a bad idea...
