Yeah, you drop colonists on every habitable rock you find. That's how you increase your production of dank memes and stop the ayy lmaos from colonizing in your territory.

Oddly enough it's posts like this that made me want to play this. I mean, the sweet detail stories helped, but mostly it was this stuff. ayy/10

Don't forget to drop a ship load of soldiers with them to stop the whining about trivial things like "starvation" and "overpopulation"

I was playing with the missile design window and noticed that I could put some Geo sensors onto my missiles. Are their many useful situations that Geo probes would be better then a throw-away geosurvey ship? And I thought that a Geosurvey team's score just affected the rate that they search the body for minerals?

Yeah sending probes instead of slower geoship ( low tech level ) to a perfect score colony ( wich most often mean a bad ass NPR lives there with weapons and ship ready to eat your face, or precusor ).

This way you can scan from afar and judge if you want the system and risk armed conflict or just move away.

It scans for minerals, the same as a ship.  Your geo TEAM is sent in afterwards to do an in-depth analysis and pinpoint every last bit of ore.  Probes are perfectly fine for orbital scanning.  There's guides for how to do it, even.

I considered it as a low-tech means of surveying stuff before you want to invest any resources in building up ships, but this is actually a really good idea!
I think i should pair up on those investigative buoy launches, for use alongside my active sensor long range buoy. Thanks!

Steve posted an interesting tidbit in his campaign update thread

2) I finally started C# Aurora . This is a very long-term project but it occurred to me that rather than reading while the turns were processing, I could be programming. The problem has always been that I didn't think I could maintain enthusiasm for such a large project, especially when I could be playing or working on VB6 Aurora instead. However, doing it this way allows me to rewrite in C# without actually giving up playing time. The downside is that is will take a long time and I might never get there but at least I finally started.

Hmm, I wonder how much inspiration he'll get from or work he'll contribute to the Pulsar 4x project, also written in C#. Maybe he'll lift some code from it, even?

What exactly happens to the population in an orbital habitat when it gets moved via tug/engines.

[Hanzoku]

I'm guessing they're placed on the planet's surface and start suffocating due to lack of infrastructure to support them.

[Dramegno]

I wasn't sure if the population was linked to the habitat or the celestial body, but it would make sense that it would treat the orbital habitat as infrastructure as supposed anything else.

I think it's hilarious that the maker of Aurora is admitting that the turn resolution on his game is soo long that he can code another game while it resolves.

 Aw, thats amusing.

Geezzzz..... thats .3c i didnt know you could go that fast.. XD The AFR and maintenance life tells me it will break up as it fire its engines haha.
