Thanks for adding the maps, I've been scribling maps on scraps as I've been reading but it just never seemed right. This helps, being able to see the systems and jump routes you are talking about. Incredible story and the problems your people are haveing(fuel, ordinance) make me feel better. I was worried that it was just my empire, but it seems to be a more common problem.Shortages are fairly common in Aurora . It's challenging to manage to keep everything going, which is intentional. I wanted to create a situation where economies didn't simply get larger without any effort (the rich get richer syndrome common to many 4x games). It's possible to crash a good-sized economy, or suffer economic problems due to a war, and then have to manage your way out of those economic difficulties.
