... let us know if u get unrest due to minority status my suggestion is setup a new colony move the conqueored population off to their own little rock ...

There is no infrastructure or population on either colonies, and it is not yet terraformed to an ideal world. I will simply make sure the "conquered" colony is empty and abandon it. At worst, SM mode is there to fix this kind of things.

[ollobrains]

Good point on SM - perhaps theres room for split colonies on planets that steve could expand this game element at some point for the time being SM mode is there.

Rank 4 officers don't seem to add their crew training bonus for taskforce training.

AH YOU FIGURED IT OUT.

Holy crap on a sandwitch i couldn't figure out why I was putting my top training officers on ships and strangly one out of 6 would simply not train.  It took 7 years to train up one ship.

I didn't note the officer rankings, but this must be it.

[TheDeadlyShoe]

im pretty sure its that they get all stuck up if they're the same rank/higher as the task force commander.

What he said.  A staff officer must be of lower rank than the fleet commander.  If not (due to promotions), the staff officer doesn't get booted from his slot, but (IIRC) he stops contributing his skill values to the fleet numbers.

[ollobrains]

what about an automatic option to rerate higher ranked lower members to the top in any fleet changes ? might be difficult and time consuming to program though

Construction factories seem to produce and consume ship/pdc parts and certain facilities at the wrong rate once the construction value gets high enough. I have noticed this with PDC parts(too few produced), terraforming modules + terraforming OHs(500 parts produced, 10-50 part OHs built, 450 parts left over), and with naval complexes(ordering two only produces one yard). I have 3007 construction factories producing 119807.9 BP per year, and each construction order occupied a single slot rather than multiple slots.

Not sure if this has been reported, but when building a max tech, max sized, jump capable ship, there are numerous overflow errors.

[ollobrains]

Error In exectutive orders

Error 5 was generated by aurora
Invalid procedure call or argument

Please report so here i am not sure what is causing this using 5.6

Error in execute orders?
Error 5 invalid procedure call or argument.

Previous solution:
I have several taskforces under a move to taskforce order, where that taskforce was just destroyed. This error probably has to do with you telling a ship to go somewhere it cannot possibly go.  Clear all orders of  your task groups and clear your civ industry orders if that doesn't work.

[ollobrains]

actually with some testing figured it out when i had one task force out of fuel sent one ship fuel ship to absorb it and a jump gate builder behind that to absorb it first ship became a new task group ( the first task group vanished) so when the third ship arrived to absorb the first fleet as well which is non existant the error was generated.

Removing that order before it arrives fixes it.

So having narrowed it down when steve fixes it should be easy enough to generate a cant find the ship message and all orders cease and the ship stops instead of generating the error report

Just noticed in the F2 Research tab that while you research gauss tech in Missiles & Kinetic Weapons, The gauss cannons in turrets appear in Energy Weapons!    But CIWS appear in Missile & Kinetic Weapons.

[Hawkeye]

I noticed this too, but thought, because the turret tracking speed tech is in the energy weapon area, this is WAD (i.e. the gauss cannon is allready designed, you are now designing the turret that holds them, thus it is in the energy weapon field).

[Thiosk]

Error 11 in turret design
division by zero.


No reduced size laser turrets?  sadness.
