That makes a bit more sense I suppose.

I ended up vaporizing the martian NPR with a max tech spacemaster empire. It was a pain in the ass to micromanage destroying all their 50 ships and cleaning up the wrecks, especially when my salvage ships would target the same wreck and generate a bunch of errors if another ship got it first. I still don't know why the game created that NPR. Even if I hit the "Make Empire" button by accident it defaults to a player race, not an NPR.

Is there a way to make the game autofocus on something besides a star? It's really annoying to run a battle by clicking 5 second, scrolling over to where the action is, evaluating the situation, clicking 5 seconds, scrolling over to where the action is, evaluating the situation, repeat.

Yeah, you can focus on a TG, just double-click on it I think.

All right, I'm really confused now. I had a 1000 ton craft (which I've designated a "bomber") as a cheap missile launch platform. I have a PDC base for the purpose of housing it (1 per bomber), and it's worked swimmingly (indeed, it's proven hugely helpful due to the very large fuel tanks I put on it, as my jump survey ships tend to stay out just long enough to run out of fuel halfway to Earth, and the bombers can easily fly out and transfer enough fuel for the ship to come home.) Well, I've been researching reduced-size missile launchers, and the armament is now obsolete. So I replaced the class with a 1000 ton craft mounting heavier missile launchers (2x size 10 instead of 3x size 5) and slightly more fuel. I can't get it to land at the base, as the "land" button is greyed out. I've scrapped the B-1 design, so there's nothing docked in the base, and it's the exact same size. What am I missing?

I think you have to specify what kind of ship can use the hangar space somewhere in the carrier ship's F5 entry. It's not on the design page you assign fuel tanks and such I think, but all this post is from memory only. I could be misremembering it all or confusing it with ammunition.

I think your pdc is set to only allow the obsolete bomber. I don't know if you'll need to copy and refit the design but I don't think so.

[Lord Shonus]

You don't define parasites there (you can set preferred fighter groups, but not larger ships, and you're not obligated to follow them, just like the magazine assignments in the same window), and my fighters will happily launch from the fighter base and land at the bomber base. Once I did that to each strip, and then had them land at the fighter strip, my bombers happily landed. So it appears that in a sense you were right about the strip being "stuck", but it was a bug rather than a design issue, and the fighter cleared it somehow.

You scrapped the old bombers while they were still in the hanger? I wonder if that had anything to do with it.

No, I launched them first. I expected a bug to crop up if I didn't.

Ver 6.43

Encountered a serious bug. Ended the processes of Aurora when I clicked "Auto turns" incorrectly, which I have done many times without any problem. Then the window of "Events update" can't be displayed. Restarted the game several times, but it doesn't help.

[JOKER_G]

Would anyone help?

[Sirus]

Probably the sort of thing to report on the Aurora forums, if you haven't done so already.

Reported. Waiting for replys, but probably here are someone could help.

Theres an option somewhere to reset window positions, have you tried that?

Before I put it into production, is there anything fundamentally wrong with this design?

This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes
The intended purpose is to either be paired with an armed jumpship for investigating unexplored jump points (to find out if there's any colonies or warships in the system) or later on to provide long-range sensor support as part of a larger fleet.
