As mentioned in my other post, here is the pdf of my Strategy Guide cobbled together from the wiki and forum. It's already quite long (70 pages or so), but it's helped me immensely in learning, as I can have a nice printed guide to look at while playing.
Ideally, it would be very cool to have this eventually turn in to something like the old Stars! Strategy Guide, where it is the definitive tutorial and guide for Aurora, something that could possibly included in the install. I'm really enjoying this game (first 4x game I've liked since the 90s), and I'd like to do my part to help support it. Stuff like this only happens with collaboration from the fans though.
Now, there are obviously some glaring flaws in this as a guide as it currently stands. Whole sections on combat, fleet control, economics, overall strategy, and a bunch of other things are missing, and I'm sure this will need to be tweaked constantly to keep up with updates. If anyone would like to write up articles on the missing of abbreviated sections, post them here (or links to them) and I will add them. Or post links to forum threads that I can tweak to cover missing areas. I'll write some stuff myself once I get to where I know what I am doing.
Aurora is an amazing piece of software, and I am confidant that there are a ton of people out there looking for something like it (I know I was, and I only found it a couple of days ago). Anything to help the newbie get over the learning curve can only help.
Here's the guide so far:
