C# Aurora v0.x Questions

[Bubbaisagod]

Hi guys, i'm trying to figure out how to get a ship to unload a certain amount of fuel to a colony or load a fixed amount.   I wanted to set up a small tanker running between my harvesters and earth however the old unload to 10% option doesn't appear to be there for tankers. 

is my only option to tell it to unload to colony then click hourly ticks checking after each till its around 10% then cancelling the order?

hope your all having fun

Double check that you ticked the box to mark the design as a Tanker.   If so, it should have the "Unload 90% Fuel at Colony" order.

I am experiencing the same issue.  It is a tanker and I don't get this option.  Have you actually used this in the C# version? Just wondering if this is a bug, or if I'm being dense.  Thanks.

In the ship design window is a miscellaneous tab, there you can set a minimum fuel amount.

Cool thanks, that works.

Just FYI for others - you set this in the "Miscellaneous" tab of the class design & the amounts are in tons, not percent.

How do you undock fighters from a carrier - I have them as a sub fleet to the fleet containing the carrier, I detached it but the naval org tab still shows the fighters as docked and they only have a speed of 1.

And yes they have engines and fuel

Things like Carrier operations and escort management is not really fully added to C# at this moment. I have not found a good way to operate fighters from carriers yet. For now we have to stay clear of more complicated and complex fleet operations until Steve have time to add these things to the game properly.

I don't think the game will be fully playable in a serious campaign until at least 2.0 of C# when he have had time to add most of the missing stuff from VB6 and added some QoL changes to the game as a whole. We just have to be patient...

How do you scrap fighters?

I know how you did it in VB6 but that doesn't seem to be an option here or have I missed something?

In a shipyard, and people have reported it either not working, being incredibly fiddly to get it to work, or both.

I scrapped 24 old fighters on my shipyards yesterday without Problems. You have to have the slipways to the capacity, ofc

I haven't seen anyone posting about problems scrapping fighters, but I have seen posts by people trying to figure out how to refit fighters.

You have to tool the shipyard for them, but you can use the Auto Refit option to have the yard go through all the fighters of a particular model and upgrade them. It's not a bad idea to make a fighter/FAC yard for those sorts of upgrades with only 1K capacity and lots and lots of slipways.

Most likely it has not yet been implemented in C# Aurora.  If it's not on the Ship Details window (probably tucked away in the Miscellaneous tab or something) or on the Intelligence & Foreign Relations window it's 99% likely not to exist.

Is there a way to tell a ship to go to a planet in another system without having to give them system transition orders all the time? I'm only two systems deep out of Sol and its already getting annoying and confusing.

[JacenHan]

You can use the Autoroute feature to make getting to a system easier, but you will have to know the destination system first. It should be an option directly above the movement orders box.

Is it better to use a terraforming station or ground installations when terraforming a colonized planet?

Orbital modules are far superior.
They are cheaper to build (even accounting for overhead cost of the station and tugs), easier to move, don't require population to work, and benefit from the terraform bonuses of your commanders. I like to put 10 modules per station, but it is certainly feasible to build them even larger.
