As people mentioned before :

M&B Butterlord
Polaris Sector
Witcher 3 Expansion Blood and Wine

Other than that i have no idea what is suppose to come it this year. I never pay attention to thing coming out - im always plesantly suprised by some awesome game premiere

Oh well, I just got lucky... Aliens. With missiles. THEY KILLED ONE OF MY FIFTY SU37s! The Bastards! (Missile fighter design of mine.)

Holy shit that are some serious casaulties ... I think you should consider surrendering, you French. 

How on earth can you fit enough stuff into only 500 tons? (I'm trying to make a fighter.)

1. What engine stuff do you use? What tech level of engine do you wait to have before making fighters? What engine size (1 or 2) do you use? What trade-offs (explosion vs power vs efficiency etc.) do you use?

2. What lasers/fire control do you put on your fighters?

3. Do you include anti-missile stuff, armor, shields, anything?

4. Do you include engineering spaces? (Fighter-size, of course.)

1. One-two engine, size one, power x3
2. Small fire control flagged as fighter - they get bonus to tracking speed. No laser - 50% sized gauss cannon and box launchers.
3. No, only fighter defense should be speed. Other than that - small, low resolution active sensor in case of Carrier losing the target.
4. Why would you ?? Maintnance should be done on board Carriers/PDC's .

Aurora is kinda different and more realistic in this regard when compared to other space 4x - good efficient fighter requires relatively advanced tech unlike other 4x where fighters are often first and most basic thing you get.

Oh and dont forget to cut deployment time to 0.1 - this will reduce crew to 1-2 people and shave off some tons.

I imagine the more recent Paradox games might be a pain to pirate, though, with all the DLC, cosmetic or not, and updates.

Why is that ? Its not like there are no pirate versions of CK2 with all DLC and newest patches ...

Maybe meant to be a race that isnt unified yet?

God i hope not, seeing as each one of those population TH/EM outputs is equal to mine.. And frankly i never have seen something like that in the four years i played Aurora..

Without prodigious use of armor, point defense, internal redundancy, internal armor, external redundancy, and those components which speed loading and unloading, you're going to have a really bad time trying to land something on a PDC protected planet.
Think like so: the enemy can have an almost arbitrary quantity of meson-armed PDCs pointed at your ships. Ships which is usually not arbitrary in their internal redundancy or quantity.
The only way to avoid this is using larger orbital ranges in your order modifier, possibly, but I've not checked if it works yet. Is it possible to deploy troops at 200,000 km orbit?

Bloody defeatist heretic.... BLAM !

Maybe we should have special Titan combat drop module ??
