I ran into the Star Swarm in a system contiguous to Sol, and being the amazing Aurora player that I am, sent a task force in which was completely annihilated. I've played two decades, and explored a few dozen systems, so it's not early. However, ever since my suicide mission, every attempt to move time more than 8 hours produces "this will be #### subpulses" and month long turns take 5 full minutes. I have no ships in the system, and I pulled back from the warp point (my side) to the nearby system and the one leading to a far off system with the same race, so I don't see combat, with me anyway, being imminent. I turned off sensors in the nearby swarm system. I have no precursers, no robots, though I did put in a couple/few/Iforget spoilers. More than one. I'm in 6.43 and I deleted the scenario before I started. I'm using a subfolder on the desktop, but that never slowed me down before (it's so I can use this separate folder's game, not the main Stevefire), and certainly didn't cause the subpulses.
It seems really unlikely that other races are in constant combat for all this time. I went to SM mode to look at the reports but only I show up (that might be normal, just saying).
It's tough to progress at 86400 subpulses a pop while I try to build up something less thoroughly incompetent to take on the swarm. I apparently cannot delete them, which was tempting.
Any help would be appreciated.
