What does it mean when a target is "streaming atmosphere"?

I think it just means there's a hull breach. It's not like your crew can suffocate or something like in FTL.

It means that it has taken internal damage and has crew.

   So yeah I came back to this and realized my new monitor was the magical size and started playing again. Anyway long story short I am going to do or at least try to do a video lets play. I have my first video up here though it is just mostly information on the game since I am hoping to get more people watching it than just people who already know about it so you might want to wait till the second video. I do gen the game in the video so I guess that is a thing though thats at the end. I don't know how well the game will play as a video lets play though or how to make it work. I am thinking I will try to only record while making decisions and cut out the parts where it is just pressing wait a month though if anyone has suggestions that would be good. Also, as is a tradition if you want something or someone named after you we can work that out and just suggestions in general for naming things will be highly appreciated. I have a thread set up in the Play With Your Buddies subforum already which is where you can suggest such names and it can be found here.

So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.

Yes, cut out all of the tedious turn-mashing. Nobody wants to watch that. Maybe show a bit of it the first time it comes up so that people who aren't familiar with the game understand why, though.

You could record everything from a camera behind your head and then timelapse it whenever you're new turn mashing.
That might be entertaining, play some classical music to go along with it.

   I don't exactly have a camera to timelapse it though doing a timelapse of the turns rolling over would be interesting. Especially since the planets turn round and round while the ships go to and fro.

Sorry for the double post but I have my second video up. Quote from my LP thread
   Episode 2 is up here and I managed to get both people that requested it named. I am of course still looking for names whether its to have someone named after you or you just have a cool name for something any would be appreciated. Also thoughts on video length. I managed to end up with both the first and second video being about an hour each but thats more of just not wanting to stop and I could just start another video. Do you all want hour long videos or would you all prefer me to reduce the video length to 30 minutes or some self stated preference?

Yes in pdf form. It is actually split into three different tech trees but it should show you all you could want to know.

This. Can't go looking for them unless you know they might exist.

They're in someone's sigtext.
power propulsion tech tree.pdf
sensors fire control tech tree.pdf
energy weapons tech tree.pdf
I should probably point out that this only represents 3 out of the 9 technology types.

Oh, that would explain it.
Trying to workout a way of putting this online, photobucket don't do pdf and I don't have a dropbox account...
Power Propulsion Tech
Sensors and fire control
energy weapons
Ninjad!

Hmm, google don't let you zoom in quite as much as dropbox, the sensors and fire control is rather hard to read there.
Damn google drive, what did you do to the colours?
Edit: Noticed a few typos, The highest max powert vs explosion chance research incorrectly lists a 255 explosion chance rather than a 35% one, and more importantly ION drive is in the wrong place on the propulsion chart, It should go: conventional engine technology, nuclear thermal, nuclear pulse, ION then magnetoplasma.
