Alright, those missile boat bastards are going down. Cheers for the help.

An example of my fighters...

Slower then I'd like, but my tech is on the Magneto age (20-25k-ish RP tech) and I'd like em to survive more then 1 hit...  2 or 3 would probably take it down easy as pie though.

Very cheap to build and stuff otherwise.  Missile fighter could probably double off as anti-missile if needed.

[MrWiggles]

To clarify, you can only drop teams onto planets/moons/bodies which have had a colony established. The colony does not have to be inhabited or indeed inhabitable. The easiest way to do this is to go to the F9 screen, select the body you want to establish a colony on and hit add colony. Remember to do this before giving the ship orders to drop off a team there or it will cancel the orders when it reaches the body.

In order for a team to work, it only has to be present on the surface you don't need to give them orders to survey, it will happen automatically. Remember to have a team survey earth as well

Also you can transfer a team to a ship in orbit directly from the teams tab of the F2 window.

Something really cool when you add a site as a colony it marks it as an archeological dig or as a mining colony.

[Osmosis Jones]

Heh, well, in the end, the missile defence made no difference. The missiles were moving at such a ridiculous velocity, I'd get one chance to shoot, and that would miss because of the speed.

Didn't stop slaying them all though, and leaving the system littered with their corpses! Mwahahahahahahha.

[Zangi]

By jah... it is hard to design a 1000 ton or less FAC(Fast Attack Craft/Gunboat)!   Faster then my Fighter! I want to put more stuff but can't!

But.. if I take off the armor here and there... reduce engineering...  now its more viable!  And I can fit weapons other then the Railgun or Gauss Cannon!

Why! Why do people make such awesome sounding games for only one platform! Why, I ask you!

Heh, if you do a goggle search of aurora 4x game, you find numerous links to other forums with the title that its dwarf fortress in space!

Well, it's apparently a search where the goggles actually do something.

Great, people posting the nitty-gritty details of ship building makes me sad. That's my favorite part of games.

@Sydney:
10cm Railgun V1/C3 (1x4)    Range 10,000km     TS: 30612 km/s
Fire Control S04 96-3000 (1)    Max Range: 192,000 km   TS: 3000 km/s

My advise, for the Fire Control...  Lower Max Range by alot.  Your Railgun range is only 10m while your Fire Control is a massive 192m.  Lotsa wasted space there.
Your Turn Speed on the Fire Control makes the massive turn speed on your Railgun...  useless.  Basically, your actual weapon Turn Speed is 3,000.  That 27,612 other unused Turn Speed is just decorations...  So bring that Turn Speed up...

@Melbourne
Vacuum Energy Power Plant Technology, you don't need it with missiles... do you?

@Both
Fuel Capacity, you could lower that to the 10k variant...  it should be expected that they sit in a hangar...  right?
And hot damn....  your engine tech is.... godly compared to mine.  I want.

[Emperor_Jonathan]

At C&C:

Firecontrols and such are 'first designs' for now, I'm going to tweak it later. And about that power plant, I put it there just in case.

Regarding fuel, I do not know how long battles will last. So just in case.

Updated mothership.

Faster, better armed and better armored. Able to operate independently for up to 2 years at a time, it is a huge ship.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Imagine a fleet of these, 5 and a half hundred thousand tons of metal come cruising towards your pity fleet, they hammer you into smithereens, only the most heavily armored or fastest escaped. They turn and the sides of the ships open, and hundreds of fighters speed out and mop up the job. The ships turn and see the enemy commanders ship, quickly limping away from the mess. Surely the behemoth ships could not catch him? Surely not. The ships turn and accelerate, and close in on the crippled ship before it knew what was happening.

The ships float away, as silent as the night.

The captain waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were fighters in the fleet. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to the admiral were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
Captain was a space captain for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the spaceships and he said to dad "I want to be on the ships daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY FIGHTERS!"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the command ship of the NPR he knew there were fighters.
"This is Joson" the radio crackered. "You must fight the fighters!"
So captain gotted his rail gun and blew up the wall.
"HE GOING TO KILL US" said the fighters
"I will shoot at him" said the cyberfighter and he fired the rocket missiles. Captain railed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the fighters" he shouted
The radio said "No, captain. You are the fighters"
And then Captain was a zombie

I am been playing this game for a while and I am just wondering but: How do you increase your ship production rate? I know that you can research it, but is there any other way?
