Title: undelete taskgroup?
Post by: db48x on December 18, 2015, 08:36:41 PM
I feel like this is likely to come up often, but a search turned up nothing.  Is there a way that I can undelete a taskgroup? It had some ships in it that I'd prefer to have back.  My intention was to recreate the task group from the naval organization, with a slightly different set of ships in it.  Obviously I should have done that first, then deleted this task group once it was actually empty.

I think you deleted the ships with no way of recovering them.

Of course you do have the SM fast OB creation option to get the actual hardware back, you will just be missing the commanders and the crew experience.

Aurora operates on a constant save basis so you can't undo. As mentioned above, you can recreate using instant OOB.

It's also a good idea to backup the Stevefire.mdb file on a regular basis.

Look at the Aurora Backup Utility in it's subforum in the Installation forum.

Yes, after some more poking around I ended up gifting the ships back.  I'm not sure it deleted the officers assigned to them though; I think they just became unassigned, but I could be wrong.  I didn't look too closely.
