They should appear on the ammo management screen, but they are only available at the colony that they were discovered on (until you start shipping them around).

Thanks Eric, that?s what I though, but they did not appear on the Ammo management screen when my ship was at the colony. Will go back and try again, possibly it was because I kept the Ammo window open and it didn?t get refreshed as it would on reopening.

I keep quite a few windows open and I have noticed they don?t automatically refresh unless closed.

Regard


On the Economics screen, there's a button that says Refresh All. Might try that, but I believe it only affects the Econ screen.

I have found that most screens are unaffected by the refresh button, many screens need to be closed and reopened to update them, the system generation screen is another, newly discovered systems donot appear (at least on my PC) until I have closed and reopened or clicked on the system in the galatic map screen.

An alternative to closing and reopening screens is that most of them have a selection for the race that is viewing the screen.  (In the F9 system screen it is the controlling race)  If you select the current race on that choice menu then the screen will refresh.

Create a construction task
« Reply #33 on: August 14, 2008, 12:38:01 PM »
I've got this problem:

1)i'm a noob  :oops:

2)i've managed to understand How to create a new Class of Spaceships

3)i can't set a task in my shipyards to build ANY ship


i've controlled this things:

-ships are smallers than shipyard capacity
-there are avaiable slipways
-tryed to clos/open the economy tab and even refresh all
-i select task type "construction" but the class menu doesn't have any avaiable class


ATM the only way i've found to build a ship is using the "Fast OB Creation"

what i'm missing?

Select your shipyard. Under Task Type, select "Retool for selected class". If the shipyard has no current class, it will be set to that class immediately. If it has a current class it will take some time to get the new class.

And make sure your ship class designed is "locked", meaning you're done with changes.

Help!

In my latest game one large colony has stopped working, all I get when I select this colony is "Error 6 was generated by Aurora. Overflow. Contact SW etc". There is no progress on industrial construction, R&D or terraforming.

Is it game over or is there something I can do. I have tried compacting database, refresh etc. Nothing appears to restore this colony. Any ideas welcome.

Regards

No idea what is causing that. If you want to email me your database I can take a look and try to find the problem.

Steve - I tried loading the database but it will not accept mbl files and if I zip it it won't load it because it's "empty". Any ideas.
regards

The database is Stevefire.mdb. I am not sure what an mbl file is. If you compact Stevefire.mdb and then zip it, it should be fine.
