Note that an administrator of a sector command gives 1/4 of his stat boosts to every colony in that sector. 

It's most useful for administrators with a high Wealth or Mining bonus since they effect most colonies in one way or another.  Factory production, terraforming, shipbuilding and ground unit construction isn't that useful on a sector commander.

Enjoyed some mass slaughter today.

This music fit well, since the xeno scum were on the run after attacking Sol.

Thank god for auto-fire.

So I havent played aurora in just over a year now I think, had the lag improved at all? After a certain point things just got too slow, has it cleared up?

[QuakeIV]

If you use an amazingly low system count like me, it seems to clear up at least a bit.

[Bouchart]

I've got a few random planets that have half-finished construction projects for no reason at all.  I didn't assign them.  Anyone else notice this?

[Culise]

I didn't even think to look until you mentioned it, but I just took a glance through my colonies and found several civilian mining bases with precisely that sort of funny business going on.  It's not just facilities, either, though that would be weird enough; they're building ordnance in a game where I have yet to design even a single missile.  I wonder if NPC construction queues are getting mixed up with PC colonies. 

[MarcAFK]

There seems to be a database corruption bug in the recent release, it's likely that items from steve's test games are popping up in player's colonies.
It seems harmless enough as noone has mentioned any problems after deleting them from the build queue.

[palu]

I'm getting this too with missiles.

[Metalax]

Steve's noted that should be fixed for the next release over on the Aurora forums.

Underground infrastructure for population on asteroids. Sounds neat.

Sounds awesome...  asteroid colonies everywhere... waiting to be wiped out one after another by alien scum or something.  ... I should totally RP the fighter class as mobile suits/gundams...

Since this thread's been woken up I'm just going to point out my recently started but still stalled playthrough over on the Aurora forum, however since bay12 is more active I'm going to mirror it over here.
Black ships and gunboat diplomacy

The setup is basically the plot of battleship, but pushed back to 1969, an almost conventional start with a large obsolete conventionally equipped navy, technology will be advanced as the US and russian space program advances during the early 70's.
Meanwhile the galaxy is limited to 24 systems with 2 NPRs at 500% difficulty, 100% NPR generation change and jump gates on all jump points, all spoilers are on, as necessary I may have to interject with sm mode to prevent total loss of humanity, but only if the story allows it.

Just a taste of things to come.

[EuchreJack]

If I had that in my fleet, I'd scrap it immediately.   

[Dutchling]

It's completely useless o.o

[Hanzoku]

Well, that's sort of the point. It's a WWII-era battleship versus a Trans-Newtonian spaceship.

Now once they weld the hull shut and refit it with Trans-Newtonian technology, you'll have the beginnings of the Aurora version of Space Battleship Yamato.
