The only way to switch taskforces that I've found is to add all your current civilian TGs to new branches under the civilian task force at the Naval Organization tab of the Task Group Orders window and then hit the "make task group" buttons for each branch.

Great, this worked thanks a lot !

I found it out by accident myself
Literally nothing about it on the wiki nor forum.

Yeah I literally spent 45min looking through the whole game and the wiki, I even assumed it could've been a feature no yet fully implemented or something that was taken off in the version I was playing (The easy quick launcher in 6.21).

So, I'm rollin' out some new ships to take out the threat in Alpha Centauri, and I'm just posting them here for you guys to see if there's any errors or such.

3x the salvo size on the new Sword IIs. So 2 per squadron would equal 30 missiles in one salvo, times 3 squadrons which will be 90 missiles per fleet salvo.

Those Centaurians oughtta' piss their (probably) robotic pants now.

I don't see any ship-sized Active Sensors - you'll need those either on the missile ships or on separate sensor ships.  Separate kind of makes sense 'cause they're big and expensive and you really only need 1+backups per fleet.

I have a specialized sensor ship in each squadron, so yeah, that's covered.

[QuakeIV]

I like both designs, though I personally prefer AMM ships, even at ion tech level.  I'm just now starting to contemplate gauss ships at the upper end of the magneto level.

still no 6.4 ive kinda gone onto other things until he gets the new realise out

Heh, that could be a looooonnnng time...

[My Name is Immaterial]

Heh, that could be a looooonnnng time...

We might see two major DF releases before that.

Well, maybe not that long...

Hahahahaha, er no.

I think there's a button on the terraformer screen.

[ollobrains]

id like to see terraforming get a work over as well

[Flying Dice]

Eeh. Terraforming is super-low priority; it's not buggy, it's fairly simple and more or less balanced, and it's pathetically simple to cheat with SM mode if you don't have any patience. There are so many other things that need to be cleaned up, streamlined, and rebalanced. :x

I have attempted Aurora three times.

The first time I did not know what I was doing, it was utterly boring and ended in disaster.

The second time, following the wiki, I had achieved interstellar flight, and jumped to all the systems neighbouring sol; an alien menace prompty invaded me and wiped humanity.

The third time I was prepared, I was ready, and I had the absolute worst luck the game could ever possibly throw at you; the entire sol system was completely out of minerals before I even managed to get any kind of exploration ships built, let alone a functioning transferrable industry to continue building once sol became barren.

Now, years after those attemps, I will again try Aurora. God help us all.

Has anything significant happened in terms of development for the past, oh, 3 or so years?
Are there any tips or hints I should be absolutely aware of? Any newbie traps which will destroy the young entrepreneurial spacefarer?

And lastly, is it possible to stage some kind of 'space race' scenario where multiple Human sides could start independent of one another on Earth? I feel separate human factions all colonizing and exploring space with fickle diplomatic relations to be a lot more fun and interesting than a single unified humanity.
