I would like to playtest it too. I have a linux machine with wine and a win xp in a virtual box.

I was hoping for something like this to be made.  I will try it out.

Galaxia, or maybe Etherium

So I couldn't resist working on AI created ships. Also had some work to catch up on so progress has kinda slowed. I still don't have a name! I would be eternally grateful if anyone could come up with a name...

Well, I have some free time this month, but late June/early July I will be busy again, but in between then and now I would certainly like to help.

I am willing to do play testing and maybe help write some lore but it will have to wait till weekend to do that.

I'm down with the exams and I should have a few weeks for myself. Feel free to drop me a pm with the latest build and what you think is wonky :)

Is anyone interested in helping me play test? In the rush to go through all the features everything is sort of wonky. I could really use some help ironing things out.

Yeah, I like the time in this game and despite the fact that you are calling it aurora inspired it is still a very unique concept, and the rate you appear to be working on it seems staggering.

"At 0. 1c, Orion thermonuclear starships would require a flight time of at least 44 years to reach Alpha Centauri, not counting time needed to reach that speed (about 36 days at constant acceleration of 1g or 9. 8 m/s2)"
While feasible I think it's rather silly to carry all that fuel on the spaceship for interstellar travel, the rocket equation really screws you over. An orbital mass driver could be incredibly efficient with energy and get the ship up to a significant fraction of light speed very quickly. You still have to slow the ship down at the other end which is the hard part but even that you could use the same mass driver.

OK, so colonisation is going to be an extremely slow process, cool.  I must say after taking a look at what you have shown us I am deeply impressed.

Thanks! I hope to have something playable out within a week. Yes it would take years and years in game time but everything else will be slowed down to match and the game speed multiplier increased.
