Space Port or Fuel Station.

Btw there is both a spaceport and a refuelling station on Earth, is the RS redundant? A freebie we can relocate?

yes same with shuttle bay and the ordinance one.

I have a question about fighter loadout. I have fighters with missiles in the box launchers, I want to switch to fighter pods for ground support. Carrier has the pods in magazines. Is it possible to switch them or do I have to launch the missiles first to clear the box launchers? Alternatively I would have to return to colony to unload the missiles I suppose.

I set the Ship Template Loadout to Pods but that itself is not enough for mothership to reload fighters to different ammunition.

As for me my question is: what standing orders you use so that past some fuel usage, a scout will return to the colony for overhaul AND refueling. It seems that if I use 2 standing order with the same fuel condition, this is not working.

Currently there isn't a way to do it. It has been posted to the suggestions thread.

I use "Clear All Orders" as the result of the conditional, and when it triggers I manually order the refuel and resupply.
It adds a little micro, but I find it bearable for now. I do hope we get the combined conditional, though.

Weird, very weird, we must not run the same version 

There is no "clear all orders". There is a "clear orders list". And it do clears orders from the list but leave running the conditional orders, so whatever you indicate, the list still get orders if you had "survey next five bodies" ... I tried, it does not work

The clear orders command does clear movement orders, but the conditional orders will just add them back unless you go and change the conditional orders.  Try using the MSP <20% conditional for setting overhauls rather than basing it on fuel.  For most cases it will work,  if you have a ship that has one component with a very big cost, then you are rolling the dice in allowing MSP to get below 20%.

How do I set minimum/maximum ranks for ship commanders?

[davidb86]

you can set ranks in the ship design window, open the class of ship you want to change and go to the miscellaneous tab.

I only see commander priority - what am I missing?

Same for me, I don't think you can do that yet in C# ...

My own question, how do you find rapidly a system body? I was told that the Russian Star Federation was spotted on Gyptis, how do I find it in the Sol System? Yes I know that's an asteroid and probably it has minerals, but is there a search box somewhere?

You can't.*  Aurora automatically sets these as described in the changes list.  Go to C# Aurora forum --> C# Mechanics subforum --> Changes List V1.00 / Table of Contents thread --> Ship Commnader Rank entry to be taken directly to the relevent post.



*Outside of installing or removing systems that raise the minimum rank requirement.

If double-clicking on the event in the event log doesn't centre the map on Gyptis, I don't know how you'd find a named rock in the Sol system. Maybe look it up on wikipedia or something to get an idea of where to check?

It's maybe not the most rapid way. But this works if nothing else: Clicking on a body in Main window, All Bodies tab centers the map. Asteroids and Comets are listed alphabetically,
