I'm ashamed to ask, but how do you add NPR races to the Sol system? I created one as NPR (ticking the correct box in the F9 system view), but then could not switch view to the new race to edit it further (wanted to add a colony of their on Moon). SM is on as you guess.You have to enter designer mode (under the "game" tab of the main window) to edit NPR's. You'll need the designer mode password from Steve to enter it though.

Thanks Steve. I have looked at some of your play throughs already, because you have done a lot of really fun multi-faction AAR's. BTW, I think this is the first time we have crossed paths, and let me just express my gratitude for what you have provided us. I got very into Starfire about 20 years ago, but could never find anybody to play with. I used to run my own Starfire campaigns with myself (so depressing) with excel sheets and thought it would be cool to automate it more. When I first bumped into Aurora, I was like "Holy crap, somebody actually did it!" Good luck with C#. I am really looking forward to it.
BTW, I just started doing you tube stuff. I was thinking about doing a quick overview on major C# changes, but thought it might be a little presumptuous. Let me know if you would be OK with me doing a preview. I really don't want to review anything if you don't think the new concepts are pretty firm yet.
At this point, I am leaning towards doing a multi-player set-up, with maybe some random, dice throws to determine some aspects/constraints. I think I'll do it on you tube as a kind of tutorial on how to do a multiple player set-up.
I want to create a start with several entities starting in Sol, similiar to what others have done. What is the best way to set it up. From what I have been able to see, I can either:
1) 1 Player race, numerous NPR's and a neutral race to act as unaligned people left back on earth - probably with a big truce to start with
2) Multiple player races with a neutral race
I was leaning towards the second, but would be interested in hearing other people's ideas.
Also, I wanted to see if anybody knew of a good reference in the forum's that would describe how people play with multiple player races? I am just interested in things like how people run combat and things like that while they are essentially playing themselves.
