Should add that they only appear around Jovian type planets.

They don't, though. I've seen intra-system jump points tied to stars in a binary and a trinary system.

Super-Jovians, actually, according to Steve's post.

But since the largest super-Jovians overlap with the smallest stars, it's possible that the 'B' component might be one.

Actually they don't.

You get super jovians, which are very heavy gas giants that don't fuse anything, brown dwarfs, which fuse deuterium (hydrogen-2) but can't fuse hydrogen-1, and heavier than those are red dwarfs, which fuse hydrogen-1, and all the other stars.

Dunno if this has been asked yet, but if you build an STO ground unit with a beam weapon, will it take advantage of any ship components in stock at the population?

No, they are built independently.

Will beam fire controls still have the same range limit?

I believe that surface-based beam fire controls have 25% range bonus. It's in the change log somewhere with the ground combat rules.

Yes, except STO versions which have a 25% range bonus.

Does this mean max tech STO fire controls will be able to go past the 5 light-second limit? Or are they still subject to that limit?

Still subject to that limit, although you would have to be very high tech to hit that limit.

Its only 1.5 mkm or so, I hit that quite quickly with spinal beam warships.  In general the current laser system in my opinion strongly favors having the largest lasers possible so you can do your best to win the kiting game.

He was asking about fire controls rather than weapons.

A lot, I suggest you start by checking the C# changes thread: http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=8495.0

In addition to the above, this thread has a lot of information on NPR AI changes in particular.

Will the way ship movement is calculated be more advanced when travelling between two moving objects (like planets)? I.E. will the ship take its travel time into account and move towards the expected target position at that time, or simply calc its movement to the actual position of the target and then every movement cycle "adjust" to the "new" position?
