Aurora C# Screenshots

[AL]

One gripe I had with the VB6 galaxy map was that the current position/zoom level of the map wasn't saved after leaving it. It would be quite nice to have this convenience implemented (and it should be a fairly easy change too). Other features that might be nice for the galaxy map would be a way to bookmark a specific location, or search for a system name on the map to centre the view on.

And as always, keep up the good work Steve

In the top left corner of F11 Galaxy Map there are two buttons, "Minimise Sidebar" and ""Find System". Try to use the second one

Hello here, finally made myself register, and happy to report that ever since i found your gem of a game, i love all the effort you put into it.  however. . . the only little pet-peeve of mine. . . please make the system map background color as changeable as the galaxy map.
also like what you have accomplished in C# well done on the programming! it's gonna be faster more detailed better looking and working stable(we hope) so props for all that! also for putting the screenshots for us to salive to something is rare from small devs. . . so i wish you as much sucess as i wish for my game dev trio.  and maybe we'll cross paths sometime.

keep being awesome!

What I'd like to see is the grid being visible when dragging a system around on the galaxy map.

Hah, my bad. Let's try to rephrase that bit then: more functionality for the find system button, so that you aren't limited to exact match searches (maybe an autocomplete/suggestions dropdown?)

What I'd like is to be able to actually draw on the map

Is the combat portion of Aurora C# done (a very small unimportant part of the game  ), as I don't remember having seen a screenshot of the target assignments and etc. ?

You can add text to the galactic map.

Is there any updates to this project? The last post is quit old.

LOL not sure what your looking at Steve posted today, and post regularly. I think you need to recheck.

There was a problem with the forum a week or so ago and some of the posts were not showing up.  Steve and Erik seem to have recovered most of Steve's posts.  See Announcements and Forum Issues for details.

One thread is not recovered yet because I am leaving that as an example for the SMF pros to look at.

Not had a screenshot for a while, so here is the Standing Orders sub-tab of the Fleet tab on the Naval Organization window. This isn't the final list of order types and conditions but is sufficient to show the layout.

Screenshots below show the new Waypoint functionality described in the following changes post:

These are screenshots of the Ship view on the Naval Organization window. This will replace the Ship window, which is no longer separate. The section at the top will list all ship officers (up to 6), while the four panels below show various information about the ship.



The fourth panel shows any ordnance or cargo carried by the ship



The narrow panel just above the ship summary shows information relevant to the ship. In the first two screenshots, this was target speed and range band information as both ships had energy weapons. For this ship, a tanker, the auto-refuel options are shown. Colliers will have auto-ordnance transfer options, etc.



The armour display is similar to VB6



Except that the size of the boxes changes to show the whole armour layout for larger ships - no more horizontal scrolling required.
