If anyone has any interesting screenshots, feel free to post them here. This forum is for new players or anyone interested in Aurora to get a look at the game.

Here's the system map from my 1.1 game. This seems to be about 20 years in.

This company name amused me when it popped up:

In case you can't read it, it's called "Dong Company"

That was my first warship when I was a massive newb at this game. Not shown: the other many, many explosions on board.

I feel that civilian CIWS may have been underestimated. Sure they are heavy as hell, but that is no problem on freighters, heh!

They currently got me on the run, but considering i can have a civilian ship being persued without being blown up half way to home, this is impressive. It'd be nice if successful interceptions would increase crew grade like getting hit did, but oh wells.
I kind of wish i didnt have my campaign TG on an away mission...

I have a made a collab picture that with a quick look gives an idea what the game is like to someone who has never heard of it.
Feel free to use it

Would these count as interesting screenshots?

If not here are some more that hopefully are:

2nd Sol Defense Force trades fire with an enemy fleet attempting an incursion into Sol.

I guess they are broken :( If anyone knows whats up please let me know. . . .

Your links got wrecked by something.
Whatever, here you go. Should be working now.

I believe it may have to do with the OPs number of posts.  Links do not work properly when you are a newer forum user.  In any case I like the gifs.  First I have seen of someone doing that here.  Has a neat look to it.

This is correct. It is to prevent spammers from creating a throw-away account and posting a bunch of crap links no one wants to see.

Does anyone have a sexy (but not confusing) screenshot of a system map for the wiki?   The current one (http://aurorawiki.pentarch.org/index.php?title=File:System_map.PNG) is great but from an older version and missing a button.
Title: Re: Please post screenshots
Post by: GreatTuna on January 01, 2016, 08:47:12 AM
Does this suit your needs? Or would you rather have something else (with ships, or marked asteroids, another system, etc.)?

Well, this does not happen often, does it?

Was it Friday as well as 1st of April?  ;D

If the game had posted "Friday 1st April" - I would have known it was an easter egg Steve had written into the game...  ;D

Let's send out the fleet then.

Though uploading images from the operation to Wikimedia Commons while it is still ongoing may have not been the best idea...

Wow! Is it intentional?

Nice. Is asteroid orbiting turned on or off?
Title: Re: Please post screenshots
Post by: serger on November 11, 2017, 03:47:36 PM
Yep, that's it - asteroid orbiting is off, I just forget to turn it on somehow.
But I thought, asteroid belts generated as belts, not spirals...

And this symmetrical pattern generator persuades me today:

(http://i.piccy.info/i9/0a4115e0193120f81879178be18f4deb/1510436347/17319/1187336/6a.png)

Yes, that's nice too. But how?!! I didn't do it!
UPD. Understood. There is not an exactly symmetrical pattern and they are moving now from previously surveyed points, that are just between those 6 vertices.
Title: Re: Please post screenshots
Post by: serger on November 11, 2017, 04:34:40 PM
This pattern can be usual! It wasn't my intention, but if you have 6 gravsurveers working on the same system, and they start near the center - than you can have such "shambala" pattern systematically.

Just another nice survey pattern:

Count 'em: EIGHT Jump Points.     .     .     

(https://i.  imgur.  com/XewejGt.  jpg)

I am simultaneously exhilarated (Surely ONE of them leads to a worthwhile system to colonize.     .     .     ), and fricking TERRIFIED at the prospect of trying to control passage through here.     .     .
