Is there a "reduced height windows" setting? Can't find it.

What's the function of the last two buttons on the controls panel? The blue orb and the red/green button.

SM Mode and Automated Turns

Game looks great so far, but is there a way to set notifications for construction completions and research projects being finished? EDIT:Nevermind. . . didn't realize the message log was only showing 30 days. . . and I was just not seeing the updates.

Will games from v1.00 still be playable in future versions of C# Aurora?

So, a question.
Do I still need to set the system decimal seperator to "." in order to play?

My nation (and half the world  ;D) uses , for number. So you have 13,57 billion km, for example.
In vb6 aurora, I had to set it to . (13.57) or it would crash.

Is c# aurora unicode compliant? Or do i need to change it like before?

It runs without changing, no idea if it causes problems later. I changed my system to the British, just in case.

Are neutral NPRs implemented the same way as in 7.1? If I want to play a United Nations game, can I create a standard player race and then a neutral NPR to represent the rest of Earth's population? Also, do multiple race populations stack towards a planet's population cap?

Yes and Yes.

I'm already changing the DB to fix some bugs so they won't be. It is going to be a little chaotic for the first day or two as I fix bugs. I'm actually very happy so far. A lot of small bugs, but no consistent game-breaker so far. The more serious bugs are because I left things in that I shouldn't, such as the Design Philosophy button.

Hi Steve, I never play a Sol starting empire and I cannot find how to generate a non-Sol empire to play, there is no button like it was in VB6 to start as SpaceMaster race and then generate your own.
Is it not possible or it should be done in another way?

I haven't made any special provision for decimal separators for launch. I'm in the other half of the world :)

When things calm down a little I'll check to see if I can do anything straightforward to fix in code.
