You have to transfer some infrastructure if you haven't already terraformed Mars, because that's what sustains the population. Without enough infrastructure your colonists will get very grouchy but won't die.

Yeah, my GeoSurvey ship was out exploring some other star system when out of the blue a group of alien ships started "trying to ram" the GeoSurvey ship. One of them eventually hit before I could jump out of the system and both ships were destroyed.



What do you mean by mgb?

I didn't even know it was possible to have aliens building fast ships for the sole purpose of suicide-ramming other ships. Wow.

It's strange that I have some neutral aliens parking their 20 ships on Earth and not doing anything at all.

*sighs*....That pic did it....I need to redownload this.... But gonna have to play without enemy civilizations due to the whole 5 sec increments for forever thing.

I have 10 second-long 30 day increments and I'm finding it perfectly playable.

If you don't play Aurora that last sentence is going to make no sense, just don't think about it too much.

Today, I got my ass handed to me on a silver platter.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)



I decided to go explore the Alpha Centauri system with a deep-space Geosurvey ship. I was overexcited to see that there was an almost earthlike planet that would be easier to colonize than Mars, so I sent the surveyer to check it out for resources. Turns out it was inhabited by some aliens who didn't take too kindly to my poking around, so they fired missles at us that immediately destroyed the surveyer. :(


The surveyer got some decent information on some ships that were in orbit of the planet, and it turns out this alien race prefers small and crazy fast designs (not shown in the screenshot though) that carry mostly missile-launchers. I decided to test them, and sent a squad of cruisers their way that were armed with beam weapons and plenty of anti-missile missiles. Just as I thought I was winning, TEN other alien ships appeared out of nowhere (cloaked or came from another jump point) that were going 10,000 km/s and obliterated the fleet in 10 seconds flat. I don't think I will be going back there anytime soon.

Hi! Here's the process I went through to get my game up-to-date!

1) Download and install the game (follow instructions thoroughly or you'll have problems with your installation) here.

2) Download and install the v5.4 patch.

3) Download and install the current v5.42 patch.



EDIT: Can anyone please explain how I would go about performing a research project? For some reason clicking create doesn't exactly start one.

EDIT 2: Bluh. Turns out it was doing something. Nevermind!

Haha, I'm just doing all of this cool research and I don't know how to do anything with it, like establishing a mining platform or building ships.

Trying to download the v5.30 patch so I can download the other ones that follow, but neither the v5.20 or 30 download links work. :( Are there any other alternatives?


EDIT: 5.4 works fine, why didn't I see it earlier?!

Caves of Qud has a DF feel to it, like someone said previously, so I highly recommend it.

Bay12ers, including myself, still play this. The game averages 1 or 2 players on at a time, which is sad considering it's a great game. There was also a major patch that actually balanced things out a whole lot, but made some skills (static charges) ridiculously powerful.


If you feel very nice: use "Doohl" as your referral.

It is a scary coincidence that this is posted on the same day that I just checked Lord of the Flies out. Barely on page 20.

Yep, all of my companions who have dodged into a body of water didn't live for much long.
