Hi, all - stumbled upon this game courtesy of the fiction on the wargamer, I think. Anyway, feeling my way through it.
How do we "drop off" a team? The situation is a destroyed installation, colony 0.0 (perfect), and I have a xenology team. Trying to drop them off, but it makes me select...then nothing happens.
Any help would be appreciated. Love the game.
Good idea. I have added a Rename button to the Team section as well.Quote from: "Steve Walmsley"Creating two teams with the same leader shouldn't be possible so that sounds like a bug. I'll look into it and get back to you.
I think the problem (which I was worried about too) is that the name of the team is hard-wired to the name of the leader, even after the leader has left the team. Consider the following workflow:
1) Create (new) team A led by "John Doe"
2) Remove John Doe from team A; replace with "Jane Doe"
3) Create (new) team B led by John Doe
This should be do-able, given the ability to swap members on and off the team. Unless you're keying the team identity off of the leaders officerID (or whatever you call it), I don't think this should break anything (other than having identical team names). Proposal: Allow renaming of teams or remove commander's name from auto-generated team name.
You can't disband teams at the moment. It sounds like I need to add that ability though.You can disband teams in v4.1. Here is a screenshot of the updated teams section from the Pop window.

Howdy do.You can't disband teams at the moment. It sounds like I need to add that ability though. If someone leaves a team or is reassigned then you can assign new commanders to that team on the Commanders window. The team is an assignment just as if you were assigning them to a ship.

I finally got Aurora to run on my Vista 62 bit machine....mega DLL/Registry issues.
I've created several Xeno teams and a Geology team on Earth but I'm encountering difficulties when trying to replace team members or even in disbanding teams. If there is an easy way to do this then I'm not seeing it on the team summary screen when I hit F2. I can easily create the initial teams but don't see any way to replace team members or disband teams in this window. I end up going to the commanders window and then searching for leaders with the xeno trait and then resetting them to make them available. However, when I go back to the F2/team window the initial team is still showing up. Worse still if I create a new team with the same overall leader then I end up with two teams with the same name on the colony.
I'm also trying to find a way to increase the dust level on Earth to reflect massive volcanic activity without having to resort to nuking the crap out of an imaginary enemy. I've tried adjusting this on the system screen and also on the environmental tab on the colony screen without success. I'm in SM mode when I try this and the fields are greyed out to me on the environmental tab.The SM can't modify it in v4.0B but I have added Dust and Radiation to the SM Mods window for v4.1
Howdy do.

Howdy do.Steve explained how teams now work in v4.0 in this thread:
