Is it intentional that the small jump drive is just 100 tons too small for the survey ships?

Oh cool new stuff - starting small I see :)
And I designed the jump engines before the ships so I didn't match them up. Jump ships will probably not be using the smaller engine. I desgning it anyway because the startup rules I am using are 100,000 research point for background tech and unlimited research points for systems based on that tech.

Finding a Roman flag proved difficult
I will update it if I find anything better.Steve

Also, I note that the research budget doesn't involve paying for Grav or Geo Sensors, Internal Armor and a few other technologies.

Interesting. Missile Launchers, Fighter bases, fighter factories, and no missile technology or fighter technology.
Also, I note that the research budget doesn't involve paying for Grav or Geo Sensors, Internal Armor and a few other technologies.
Planetary missile launchers, fighter factories and fighter bases are added to every starting race. How long they take to make use of them is up to the race. Basic geo and grav sensors are included as starting systems for every race.

The double-headed eagle on crimson background dates from the Byzantine period rather than the Roman Republic.

Thanks for the flag pictures. I have added most of them to the flags for Aurora and used the central portion of the SPQR flag for the Romans. I'll edit it into the original post and leave the constipated parrot in this post for posterity

Coming to this discussion late, but here is a URL with reconstructed Roman Eagles.

The Roman Empire only had about 100m population :D
Just an FYI, the roman name for the Chinese sphere was the Orbis Sericum, and the Han name for the Romans was, Da Qin.

I found a source quoting 100m around 100 AD. I wish I had realised it was as high as 330m as I would have used those figures. I cut the British Empire down from 460m to 200m so it wouldn't be too large in comparison.

Steve, Michael is correct, the Census only counted the male citizens, here is a bit of information;
An account of the formalities with which the census was opened is given in a fragment of the Tabulae Censoriae, preserved by Varro (L.L. vi.86, 87, ed. M

Star System: Nova Terra
Name: Senatus Populesque Romanus
Date: This the 18th Day of the Ides, In the Year of the Consuls Titus Galenus Aratus and Lucius Antonius Tiberinus, 2757 Ab Urbe Condita A.U.C.
Head of State: Primus Princeps (First Citizen) Casca Rufius Longinus
National Flag:
(http://www.stgfc.com/pnp/Roman_Futuristic_Flag.gif)
LEGENDARY BACKGROUND
In the Legends of Nova Roma, that are lost in the misty haze of time, it is said that Iuppiter and Mars had forseen the time when Roma Mater would be overcome by the barbarians. Iuppiter despaired of ever seeing his children out among the stars. So he along with Mars began to weave the ether and created Nova Roma, an exact replica of Sol, and deposited there Romans whom he deemed worthy to carry on the name Roman.
These humans had to display all the virtues of a true Roman and these virtues were: Officium (Duty), Aequitas (Respect), Gravitas (Dignity), Nobilitas (Nobility), Concordia (Harmony), Humanitas (Culture), Pietas (piety), Virtus (Courage), Firmitas (Tenacity), Industria (Hard Work).
These Romans had more in common with Seneca and Cicero than with Commodous and Nero. As Iuppiter had forseen only true Romans would prosper and eventually make it to the stars. But what is a Roman without conflict? So Mars placed on Nova Roma, humans from other cultures that he deemed worthy to fight the Imperium for the fate of the new world Iuppiter and he had created. If these Romans were not worthy, then none would be. It would be an interesting fight either way.
In the Year 2657 A.U.C. Ab Urbe Condita, the Romans had shown they were worthy of Iuppiter and Mars. For they had finally conquered the Orbis Sericum (Chinese Sphere) and united Nova Roma under the Pax Romana.
Cheers, Thorgrimm
