I really miss the CFN

[James Patten (OP)]

Starfire has the concept of a "Colonial Freight Network", which was private enterprise which the Imperial Government could hire to assist in colonization, or moving freight or around, etc.

Since it's probably a trademarked or copyrighted term, I'll rename it to the "Civilian Freight Network".  I'd really be happy if Aurora could have a CFN that my government could use.  I've already noticed that private enterprise is happy to build civilian spaceports - I'd be quite happy to turn over shipping of colonists to them.

Any chance of seeing this in future versions of Aurora?

The CFN was actually one of the things I didn't like about 3rdR because it was so uurealistically powerful. However I do intend to have "civillian ships" at some point, which will include civilian colony ships that send population to your colonies and setup some of their own.
