Well, first post and first game.
Got everything installed without any trouble, and patched up to 4.82.
Working my way through the tutorials, and getting into the game good and proper.
I have, however, hit a little snag.
I have an NPR somewhere fighting a battle, which has brought the game to a halt, relatively speaking. I am familar with the other posts on the topic, including the one in this sub forum below
here. So I have Automatic turns on, but I have just speant 1 1/2 hours in front the the PC, waiting for the NPR to finish having fun. A tad dull, and I am only 4 game years in.
So, while I understand that history, and purpose, behing Aurora as a storey telling engine, and how the NPR AI running in parallel with the player, this has made this game a lot less fun. I might want to suggest an option to have NPR events decided by a simple die roll rather than full battle, but maybe I can do this my self?
Can I use SM mode to view the NPR event, delete the relavant ships etc, as if one side lost dramatically? It might not be fair, but this is a single player game, so it doesnt really matter.
Just in case it matters, I have below the detail I have picked up from using SM on the event viewer. Spoilered as I think it might be needed:
[spoiler:3enm8jpd]Event log shows a 'Queen' and 'Soilder021' repeatedly charing and bombarding with meson canons. From other posts I am guessing some sort of ant/bee type race, but I guess I will find out in future games.[/spoiler:3enm8jpd]
If I cant edit it, then I guess I will start a new game. Other people seem to have long running games without this interuption, so maybe I am unlucky with this event so early. I seem 4.9 deals with potential NPR loops, so patching up will also avoid the likelyhood of this occuring again.
Anyway, great game, and thanks for any help
