How tall is your screen? It looks like even with ResizeEnable, the buttons on the bottom of some windows are only visible if the window is taller than a certain size (say, about 700px).

Nope, I fixed it. Turns out I forgot Reduced Height Windows. Thanks for the help though!
Now to wrap my head around the new missiles and engines...

Whew, I was worried for a second that I was wrong and that it was the new version that didn't work with ResizeEnable, rather than Windows 8.

But the tl;dr of new engines is that everything is painfully slow and short-ranged in comparison to pre-update equivalents.

Aurora on small monitors:
1. Game Parameters -> Reduced Height Windows.
2. Lock taskbar to the right side of your desktop.
3. Run Resize Enable

Redundant. 6.20 includes 6.21 since one day after its release.

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.

Select the taskgroup it is in, select Luna(you may need to use the check boxes to make it visible), select geosurvey, hit add order.

Acctually, it turns out i didn't put any geological scanners on it.
Everytime i design a ship with Geological scanners, it won't come up in the Fighters list in the Industry tab (Where all my ships without geological scanners appear)

Yeah, this new version is REALLY shitting me. Beams are even less powerful than they were before. In fact, anything with an engine is shit now. Good luck trying to make a missile at Ion tech!
Anyways, Flying, whatever happened to First And Last?

It is probably over 500t, you need to build it in a naval yard.

So beam are weaker, and missiles are weaker too? Sound like balance to me. You beam ship may be slower, but he'll have an easier time shooting down the missile volleys.
