It might be because you have them set to point blank defense mode? I suppose the real test is whether they actually fire or not.

[Flying Dice]

The point is that they don't function properly; they've worked fine in all previous engagements, but now they don't function at all. I've already dealt with several salvos solely with CIWS, as I thankfully use redundant systems. Also, my Pegasus class CLs function perfectly in PD mode, and were designed after the most recent patch, while the CAs and PD cruisers are currently on a model designed before the patch, so I suspect that has something to do with it. I'm probably just going to have to keep my main battlegroups in Earth orbit for another 4 years or so when I start the next round of shipbuilding, and rely on my CL and frigate squadrons for the time being.

[MarcAFK]

Maybe you could try space mastering them out then back in again?

[Flying Dice]

I have already tried that as well, with no change. I'm betting that as soon as I upgrade then the issue will be resolved, so until then I'm just going to figure out an RP angle for it.

I had the same bug a while back..my solution was to shelve the game :{

Damn, yeah, just tested a new postpatch ship with postpatch weapons, and they still don't work. Oh well, time to upgrade to the current version. 


Ed: Bahahaha! I was freaking out so hard when I fired up 5.60 and realized that all the windows were too tall for even ResizeEnable to make them usable, and was panicked that I'd never be able to play anything past 5.56... and then realized that I had to turn Reduced Height windows on, since it was a new version.

I read somewhere something about space stations being able to create ships.
if this is true, please, explain.

Well, not exactly. I mean, if you wanted to you could make an orbital habitat and have it tow a shipyard, but it would end up being like 5 million tons.

Currently ships can't build other ships.

[blackmagechill]

So, how do you design a ship? I forgot to have it pregenerate ships and now I need some kind of explorer/ scout thing to find my first planet....

[Zangi]

Oh my... that is a lengthy process and actually the meat of the game... for some of us at least.

Basics of Design

That youtube guy might have a video of making basic ships too...

[forsaken1111]

funny. that was one of the first things I self-taught.
Although, I still need to find an enemy empire to self-teach me how to die fight.

Same. I guess its because I have been playing these games from the age of 5 but ship design in aurora was intuitive and easy for me.

Is mars a good place to start or did you guys poke around other planets first?

I usually colonize Mars and Titan with token colonies on the other marginally habitable worlds just to drum up trade opportunities for the civvies. Once you get them started they will grow the colonies on their own, providing free infrastructure and population for future colonization efforts.

How hard is it to oxygenize mars, or do we not get into atmosphere building?

[Bremen]

My attempt to self-teach ship design went something like "Wait, I need active sensors to tar-*BOOM*"

How hard is it to oxygenize mars, or do we not get into atmosphere building?

To get Mars up to full habitability I think you need to add about .5 atm with a combination of oxygen, greenhouse gas, and something inert (I use nitrogen). I'd say it's slightly on the easy side of terraforming; it starts with at least a little atmosphere which saves you time, and nothing that needs removing.

[forsaken1111]

Venus is the hard one. Been working on that for years.
