List of features from VB6 missing in C#

[Jorgen_CAB]

One thing that are a bit annoying, especially since I mainly been testing the game since launch is the ability to add all technology up to a certain cost to a faction. Now I have to click and "Instant" every tech every time I want to start testing something through a new faction and after a new release of the database. I can save after that and use the same point to go back or save the DB.

Would be nice to have that button back so we could instant all technology to a certain level.

The ability to (dis)connect JPs in SM-mode.

The ability of Communications officers to increase the PPV of ships and/or fleets under them.  Reassuring the public is an important part of military PR.

This could at least give the Political Reliability score SOME positive effects if that skill is used, or was there a separate skill for that in VB6... I don't remember.

I miss the different colour of circular orbit for 2nd, 3rd and 4th stars in a system.  its a bit confusing when stars and planets all share green.

Also do these multi-star systems seem to be smaller than they used to be?

Please define "smaller". I have a star orbiting at 220b km.

I think C# it's really great especially now that most bugs have been tracked and mostly sorted. However, it's really annoying that some common and very useful features are not there:

Percentage of unused construction in the industry tab - I am so tired of doing the math constantly
The ability to destroy launched missiles - Useful for removing buoys
The ability to add all technology up to a certain cost to a race - With patches coming out every day do the same setup all over again it's really annoying

All of them are already listed in this post, I am just adding to the pile and hopefully, we can get at least some back.

What I miss the most is the Production Overview window, especially the Imminent Events tab.  I have a terrible memory and I relied on it a lot to remind myself what I was doing.  I know it's possible to check every relevant tab for the same information, but then I have to remember what tabs to check and whether I've checked them

The planet/sun picture line up in system view was neat and I miss it, having a reason to boot up space engine to find more pictures to add was also nice.

It was Diplomacy ( http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=1129.msg9086#msg9086 ).  I wouldn't want Political Reliability to be actually useful for anything; I like it as a 'penalty' skill.

The ability to add dust and radiation to a planet in SM-mode.

The ability to add dust and radiation to a planet in SM-mode.

SM Mode is missing a lot of features.

Modify Wealth
Modify Unrest
Add maintenance
SM Move TF to waypoint or un-colonized system body
Ability to connect JP to specific system number.
The SM system summary
Add Sol
SM Race, for custom stars

Also:
Fleet heading toggle in System View Toggle is in display tab. I was searching in contact tab. I would still like one for contacts.
Compare orbital rings of Sol system bodies (Eg: 10x Pluto orbit)
Shutdown individual industries Shame it's not coming back. Mass producing terraforming installations will drain available workers, even if the planet is fully habitable and not being terrafomed.
Survivors of separate empires do not appear anywhere I can find
Unassigned officers only toggle in commander screen search/filter section
Tour lengths in commander screen
Fuel report screen also showed maintenance clock and spares, and had the option to sort by
Intelligence would list estimated size based on thermal signature and speed.
Galaxy map allowed you to re-colour the background.
Automated fire toggle in the combat screen.

True, last night I discovered you cannot SM ordnance, or if there is, is very well hidden!

[swarm_sadist]

SM Ordinance:
Go to ship screen and select the individual ship you want to load ordinance in SM. Click the Ordinance template tab and select SM:Fill Ship (Centre right). It will fill the ship with the template of it's class.

Shutdown individual industries

This is a deliberate choice of 'Aurora doesn't work like that anymore,' not a missing feature.  It's not coming back.
