Random question of the day. I've captured my first ever ship through boarding action. I now have the remnants of 8 different marine companies on board but no way to get them off the ship as there aren't any troop bays on the ship. How do I get my marines off so I can give them a victory march?

When using a fleet that has open troop bays (ideally, the ships that started the boarding action), target the fleet that has the boarded troops on it. There'll be an order available to retrieve your boarders.

Also, some projects have names that are so long that you can't see the appended part in the list.
Example: "Max Tracking Time for Bonus vs Missiles: 30 Second..."

The same is true for the industry tab, it would be useful to be able to see the full text without it being appended - maybe a tooltip on hover over the text? I really struggle to work out which ship components I'm building sometimes!

1) Some kind of Waypoint patterns would be great.
Exp. Evenly place X WPs at the radius of 7,7 m km starting at bearing 00.

or

2) Some "LOGO turtle drawing" for the order template. Where I could specify "Bearing" and a "Distance".
Exp.
Go at Bearing 00 for a Distance 7,7 m Km, then Launch Ready Ordnance.
Go at Bearing 1800 for a Distance 7,7 m Km.
Go at Bearing 1200 for a Distance 7,7 m Km, then Launch Ready Ordnance.
and so on...

So we could produce patterns like on bellow screen:

On the Research tab, clicking the Assign New button will cause the project name to be appended with "(N)".

I suggest prepending it to the project name instead, to make it easier to find such projects when the list is long

Also, some projects have names that are so long that you can't see the appended part in the list.
Example: "Max Tracking Time for Bonus vs Missiles: 30 Second..."

Yes, exactly that. You don't have two billion unemployed on Earth at the start of a conventional start.

Yes, you are correct.

Here is the relevant code:
 
Code: [Select]
…
PossibleSystems = KnownSystems.Values.Except(CurrentSystems).OrderBy(x => Math.Pow(x.X - StartSystem.RealSystem.X, 2.0) + Math.Pow(x.Y - StartSystem.RealSystem.Y, 2.0) + Math.Pow(x.Z - StartSystem.RealSystem.Z, 2.0)).ToList();
…

The + should be -, as you stated above. Its been like this since C# launched and you are the first person to figure it out :)

I think correcting it is better than leaving as is, as it will be easier to understand what is happening.

Am I missing something? That looks like the right distance formula to me, with minus signs in the correct place.

As an aside, are you sure that you need to call ToList() there? OrderBy returns an IOrderedEnumerable, which you can directly enumerate over with a foreach loop. Calling ToList() will allocate a new List and copy the (sorted) elements into it. Then after the loop the List will be thrown away. Seems like wasted effort, but I have only a passing acquaintance with C# and could be wrong.

Does water do anything special for the planet, to have some?

Hydro extent (or lack thereof) contributes to colony cost if not above 20% and liquid: https://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=8495.msg101987#msg101987

Above 75% hydro extent the population capacity of the body starts to suffer: https://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=8495.msg100078#msg100078

C# Bug Reports / Re: v2.5.1 Bugs Thread
« Last post by pedter on Yesterday at 09:24:36 PM »
I've hit three total error functions recently (though not at the same time) while running time with no specific window or identifiable context:

2.5.1 Function #2788: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
2.5.1 Function #1531: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (This occurred two different times)

#1531 may have something to do with an NPR generating a free colony with the default free 100 population and 1 naval command after being wiped out. I've been playing whack-a-mole with this NPR trying to wipe it out completely and have been generating quite a few free naval commands as a result; the logic there may warrant a look for more than just the function error. For #2788 I truly have no ideas unfortunately.

Standard info dump:
- Conventional start
- Real stars
- US decimal and time formats (I have not reconfigured for UK standards)
- Approximately 85 years into the campaign
- Campaign started and running on v2.5.1

Editing in: I've now received #1531 nine more times with even less context than the first two times. I'm still getting them after deleting my 'blocker' colonies that seemed to prevent the NPR from generating a free starting pop of 100 on the same body. The NPR also still has no colonies in the DB so perhaps the wiped-out NPR is not relevant after all.

Editing in a second time: I've hit a different error after rebooting Aurora; #1531 seems to have quieted with the reboot, but this one is new. It came after a tremendous amount of 5-second death but provided me with no context for its existence outside of the error text itself:

2.5.1 Function #3656: The given key was not present in the dictionary.
