Hello, I'm a rather new player to aurora. This question regard a game started with version 6. 21
Though I don't have much experience (especially in combat), I like my games rough and I recently started a game with conventional start, and all the 3 big bads on (yes, even the guys who love to open wormholes. . . . ).
After a rather slow start, I finally met the original NRP race, which completely out-techs me, and I even found 2 jumps away from my homesystem a nice stable wormhole. So, I thought, things were interesting!
But I am suffering from severe interrupt problems. Right now turns are very long (I am 30 years ingame and the database grew to 80 mb already. . . ) so I usually set 1-day autoturns and come back to check things once every few minutes. But in the last 3 game-months I've been having a ton of interrupts without reason given in the event log (not even activating SM mode). Sometimes I can do 2-3 days just fine, others I get like 10 interrupts every day. Since the turns are at least a minute each, this severely limits me because I can't do something else in the meanwhile, I have to stay at the pc clicking next turn once a minute.
So my question is, is there anything that can be done to try to salvage my game? I played it quite a bit, but like this. . . . I did search the forums and found no possible solution, but trying to ask cost nothing
(Well, I did find that 6. 30 should have reduced the interrupts due to precursors mine fields, but I'm playing 6. 21. . . )
Thanks in advance, if you need any more information I'll be happy to provide them.
P. S. Another small question, I have not played for a bit. . . but. . . is it normal that I have 7 shipping lines and 1180 civilian ships? When I open up the shipping lines window, the game freezes for 10 seconds. . . if I try to have the civilian contacts showing on the system map the game freezes for half a minute. . . . And apart from that, when I colonize a new planet my 500 or so civilian colony ships drop there 30 or more millions people after the first 100 infrastructure are delivered... kinda a waste..
P.P.S If my game is shot and I really need to upgrade to 6.3, just tell me so XD A pity though...
