Said NPR, however, will run off and start discovering more NPRs, which can be aggrivating if they find too many and start to slow down your game.

[Metalax]

Steve has made an alteration for the next version to ensure that if you defeat an NPR and it surrenders all of it's grav survey ships will also surrender which will limit them from continuing on exploring finding more and more NPR's with their infinite fuel.

[Flying Dice]

Don't we already have that? When I knock off NPRs, I tend to get all of their random ships, including gravsurvey vessels.

[Metalax]

The code at the moment allows for gravsurvey to surrender but doesn't force all of them to do so, so you can end up with grav survey ships with infinite fuel continuing to explore new systems, triggering new NPR's far from any system you have explored, which can eventually bog down the game to a crawl.

I have been playing recently but whenever I pick the research or economy tabs I get error in display population's, Help please.

[Girlinhat]

Gonna need more info than that.  "An Error" is rather difficult to fix.  Screenshots and context unless you want us to spout blind nonsense.  Which I can do, if that's what you really want...

[Flying Dice]

Or you could just do what I do and click until the error gives up and goes away.

Fun times, usually the error comes back next turn.  Considering it, #1 reason I havn't been able to play Aurora for long.
1. Get hankering to play Aurora.
2. Play Aurora.
3. Get error that comes back every turn.
4. Hope it goes away.
5. If errors continue, restart game.
6. Repeat 2-5, till I give up.

[Flying Dice]

I actually tend to not run into many errors, except when I do something wrong and have to figure out what is causing the divide by zero (or occasionally other) error and change it.

This game has alot of problems and bugs.I am not even thinking of playing it anymore until the creator FINALLY fixes the interface and allows for a screen resize

Then you're never going to be playing it, as he has already outright stated that he doesn't care if people can't or won't play it for one reason or another. The interface itself is fine, if a bit clunky. You can solve issues with resolution with a combination with fixes which I am sick of reposting repeatedly.
 Set taskbar to the right of screen. Go into game menu bar, click Game Parameters, click Reduced Windows. Google ReSize Enable, download it.

We already know that no further adjustments are going to be added by Steve, so frankly people either need to stop bitching about someone not wanting to change a game which has been explicitly described as a project intended for personal entertainment and leave, or put in the five minutes of effort it takes to make it playable. I'm probably coming off a bit harsh, but I'm really damn tired of people whining about Steve not making it playable for them. Yeah, he isn't, tough shit. Life sucks. But it isn't exactly rocket science to fix it yourself, and complaining about something that very plainly is not going to change does nothing, especially when there are solutions readily available, listed out repeatedly both here and on the Aurora forums.

And hey, seeing as how I'm such a cheery fellow, I lied. Here is the link (AGAIN) to download ReSize Enable.

[PTTG??]

I've been wanting to play a game set entirely within a large, highly populous star system. Particularly, one with several jovian planets with moons, a couple asteroid belts, and several earthlike or teraformable worlds. Ideally, this would be a four-star system.

Unfortunately, simply generating new systems until something appropriate pops up would take a very long time indeed- I've tried hundreds of random systems only to find three or four quaternary stars, and generally these systems only have a debris field and an uninhabitable planet.

Is there a way to edit the probability of various star/planet types in the database? Failing that, is there an easy way to simply dictate the contents of a system, including the generation of a few hundred asteroids?

After looking through the database, I've been able to force a large set of nearby stars to be quaternary, and I can even give them sunlike stars. There are some settings there for different types of orbits and distances. Does anyone know what units those are in?

[Girlinhat]

Units vary according to context.  Most ship units are in 10k km increments, while some orbital units are in 1 AU increments, or otherwise based off Earth in some way.  Can't say I've looked at the database, but pretty much all data for orbital distance, gravity, luminosity, etc is based on Sol or Earth, so it stands to reason this would continue.
