Nah, they just wanted to enlarge their alien wing-wangs in seven days or less.

So the aliens have e-peens?

[LoSboccacc]

When it's ready. 5.70 is making a number of substantial changes, and after that IIRC Steve is turning entirely towards working on Aurora 2.

do you know what these changes are?

Like, second post in mechanics:

I'm doing terribly at... everything today.

I didn't actually think of checking the forums. I think that with a week left before I go back to school, my brain's stopped working.

Hey, it's your* last chance to let your brain stop working for a while, so go for it.

_{*But not mine, since I don't go to school, hah.}

Nah, they just don't have common sense when it comes to spam email. Somewhere in Nigeria are a bunch of people with a small mountain of alien credit chips.

Alien Credit Chips are probably the new Nigerian national currency.

That and cat food i would assume.

Anyone know if there's a known bug with civvies and nebulas? I've noticed that civilian freighters/colony ships will start at my homeworld (in a nebula) and will take orders to ship things to a colony outside the nebula, but then never return. And they never ship to another colony inside the nebula.

I'm wondering if the fact that ships in a nebula report "0 km/s" speed on the tactical display is somehow screwing up the civilian AI.

I've noticed that. It only displays zero if you have enough armor to run at that ships maximum speed. For all intensive purposes they still fly at the same speed.

What if we organized a community game?
Like the thing that goes in SA forum?
http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3474164

I think we can make something "FUN"...

[Sheb]

A few started, they all collapsed under the weight of managing them.

[Aboth Ber]

Hmm.... I have some free time... maybe I can make some...
I need a break from my "super secret volcano laboratory for dwarf and elves related science incorporating magma" anyway...

I like to try organize a game as an Overseer a GameSpace Master, I had some wacky ideas...
Anybody like to take a game with SPACE NAZI-COMMUNIST (i know this is absurd as it sound) as the 'enemy' faction? If our resident dwarvesSpace commanders are interested, I think I'll start posting the game... I promise it involves lots of magmanuclear radiation and hopefully ships explosion!

I think I can't provide a tutorial about playing the game, but I can show where you guys can learn about it...
Of course I'll like some comments about this too...
Also can somebody show where the LP that mr. Sheb refer too?

(Notes: Since I'm not a native English speakers, please forgive any kind of grammar inconsistency, blame my spell checker instead)

[Sheb]

We had tons of LP. Here is a non-exhaustive list:

One of the first, back when "Let's Play Aurora" was a unique enough title.
Mysteriously died after the fifth update.
One of the first community game. Apparently it was back when I first discovered Ian M. Banks
Another community effort
One of my own effort. I though it was pretty neat: 2 forums, each controlling a faction. It died when the other forum lost interest.
Another community Empire.
Another LP.
More
IMO one of the best.

I know there are more out there. I did at least one more. So as you can see, we like Aurora LPs, but you need a huge dose of motivation and self-discipline to make a successful one happen.

[Aboth Ber]

WOW... That's... A lot... Pretty much a lot...

Considering how our resident dwarves treat their fortresses with the same 'zeal', I hope they also had the same 'zeal' for an ambiguously no-fancy semi-abstract confusing-complex space game simulation like Aurora...

Well... I don't had anything you can called 'life' outside my parents home... I currently on indefinite hiatus (I still haven't got any place for my assignments) so I had plenty of time... I hope I can get the game moving for quite some time (it is very interesting seeing what kind of decision multitude persons take, it's like reading a real life stories)...
If it only involves me post only once or twice a week, I think I can manage it... (The ingame time should only increasing 1-2 months I think)...
I'm only gives the 'World' and manually play the NPRs (if applicable), The "Good Guys" are controlled by the our resident forum dwarves (in semi democratic way) using the same system I shamelessly modeled from what Bregman used in his LP at SomethingAwful forum... Our resident forum dwarves will choose what kind of ships, missiles, research, installations, decisions they want. I merely execute them in good old GSM way... So I don't think that is a hassle... Maybe...

But nevertheless I'm never host any kind of community nor role-playing game outside Pen and Paper Traveler campaign... (and it only last 2 sessions before my players lost their interest, curse you video-game generations)... So my current understanding at this field is sadly lacking... So, I need to hear what the other people think first...

[Sheb]

Well, start a thread, we'll follow.
