New Alien Race in the Sol System!
« on: May 16, 2010, 12:45:55 AM »
so im minding my own business attempting to figure out how [spoiler:xoedmnwv]in the hell to use the new wormhole that popped up[/spoiler:xoedmnwv] in the sol system, so I send a jump ship over there and boom, 3 thermal contacts directly on top of it, my only combat ship is 103m km away, within 30 seconds thermal sensors detect a Strength-30 nuclear explosion and my jumpship is gone and I lose detection of the enemy ships.

Wish me luck.

oh and by the way everytime something happens with the [spoiler:xoedmnwv]wormhole[/spoiler:xoedmnwv] I get an error 3265, might be just an unfixed bug but I dont know

oh god: last time increment 25 seconds. Strength 30 Nuclear Explosion Detected! Strength 16 secondary Power System Explosion Detected! Illustrious 001 suffers complete strcutural failure due to the amount of damage it has recieved. The ship is destroyed.

uh ohs... that was my combat ship

New thermal contact! Thermal 24 x 16 detected! Thermal 93 x 16 detected.

My event log was just filled with civilian ship casualties. Strength 1 Nuclear explosion detected x48

multiple nuclear missles are heading straight for earth at 80,000km/s oh god no...

Strength 18 Nuclear Detonation x48 detected! Earth suffered 29 hits for a total of 409 points of damage. Casualties:40.6m Infrastructure Loss: 20 Industrial damage is as follows

Strength 30 Nuclear Detonation x48 detected! Earth suffered 48 hits for a total of 1440 points of damage. Casualties: 144m Infrastructure Loss: 0

goodbye sweet earth, its been fun.

Aurora, you are an unforgiving game, just making sure you know that

As far as I am aware [spoiler:2eo6d6sk]you can't use the wormhole.  It is how the Invaders enter our Galaxy.  Steve has said that he will include the option to disable the Invaders just like Precursors with the next release.[/spoiler:2eo6d6sk].  In this situation you have been pretty unlucky, unfortunately it sounds like you didn't have the tech and warships to combat the threat.

[spoiler:1ppk9jes]Until Steve adds the option to turn off the aliens, you can turn them off by turning off Precursors. The downside to this is you don't get Precursors, the upside is you don't lose Earth :)[/spoiler:1ppk9jes]

so I started a new game and I have a bunch of military tech, got a missle researched and loaded into a PDC, how do I launch it? (im just testing to make sure I have it right, I want to launch it at luna, cuz it has nothing on it and it will be fun)

First, questions like this should go into the Academy forum (new user and such :)  )

Second, have a look here viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2386&p=23108&hilit=Battle+Control+Window#p23089

Third, basicly, you can´t
As you said yourself, there isn´t anything on Luna. This, in turn means, Luna won´t show up in the target window, so you can´t select it as a viable target. Think of it as: Your targeting software _knows_ there is nothing to shoot at at Luna and simply won´t let you target it and the weapons-officer in your PDC does not have the needed Mega-Administartor rights to override the program.
