well it said meson
anyway they followed me back to sol and are shooting up my shipyards right now
i should probably have built some PDCs or whatever but this is the first time i actually found an alien that fights back >.<. some of them also move at 10kmps so i doubt it would have mattered much
twas a bad start anyway, hardly any minerals in sol
stuff
Unrelated, I found the below both funny and semi-accurate:
I saw that pic somewhere, maybe on reddit lol. That is pretty accurate. However, with all this new info and guides coming out on youtube/imgur, reddit and even this thread, its MUCH easier to learn.
I tried playing Aurora 2 years ago I think? maybe 3? one of the two. And there was the wiki, some dude with a ton of tutorial videos on youtube and not really much else to help. And I'll be honest, the guy who did those tutorial videos (he had over a 100 videos I think) kinda bored me so I never bothered to watch, nothing against him, I just didn't click with his style. And the wiki was/is not that helpful. And its outdated now supposedly. In any case, skip ahead some time, and there is so much help/guides and videos now, that I personally am understanding Aurora vastly more and a lot faster too than my previous (failed) attempts. Plus quill18 and that other guy who started videos are (to me) entertaining, and I watch quill18 already anyway lol.
Without all these new videos and what not, I'd probably still not bother trying Aurora again
It is the one game that is so epic for space 4x, but such a HUGE learning curve that I personally really needed step by step kinda tutorials and guides and what not, but there wasn't much helpful ones when I played.
But yeah, 10 hours a day for a month still seems accurate lol. Maybe not so much now, but I've been playing a few days and still haven't really understood the missile design systems that well even with youtube videos on it, imgur guides and what not and posts about it explaining it. That is probably just one feature I gotta learn myself, to understand it a lot better.
