Error in CreateOfficer
Error 3163 was generated by DAO.Field
The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data.

26 years into my game, this has started popping up every now and then. Tracked two cases to new officers whose Education field are not populated. When loading the officers screen, a series of Error 94 / Invalid use of Null errors are generated. They were both educated at different military academies in different systems. Other officers created in the same increment are being created properly.

Brief Summary Display empty!!

When designing a new ship and keep adding components, surprisingly all Brief summary display's information disappears 

Excuse my english

I'm seeing +1000% Fighter combat bonuses, so I think that the cap for them doesn't work. this is on 6.2, haven't bothered with 6.21 since I don't use the sorium site order yet.

Seems that crewmorale issue is from a missile Complex in conventional start with 1000m starting pop:

Code: [Select]

Missile Complex class ICBM Launch Base 14200 tons     419760 Crew     412.2 BP      TCS 284  TH 0  EM 0
Armour 5-52     Shields 0-0     Sensors 1/1/0/0     Damage Control 1     PPV 240
Annual Failure Rate: 0%    IFR: 0%    Maintenance Capacity 0 MSP
Magazine 240   Spare Berths -419550   
Only one of the bases is like this. The rest all show -2 berths with a -5% penalty.


This gives a Crew Morale Bonus of -1100%

Known bug.  Delete them all and SM in new ones.

6.21.  Everytime I open the class design (or modify a design) I get "Error 3265" "Error in UpdateDesign". Using a 6.20 game.

I've finally found and fixed the bug that occasionally shows a dark blue dot on the galactic map for a system without a habitable world.

This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposesThe three designs are as alike as I could make them, but for some reason, the Haven class and Merrimack classes have half the maintainence life of the Pyro class, despite the fact that the failure rates are the same, and the main components on the Merrimack and Haven classes are civilian components.

Hi, this is my first attempt at playing Aurora and, after working through the tutorials/setup, came across the following error reports.  (Using version 6. 21) I had given orders to a Task Group/Battle Group - I think it was a default order 'Refuel at Colony'.  Then used the time increment button and these popped up (approx 13 times):

Error in PopulateMoves
Error 94
Invalid use of Null

Error in PopulateMoves
Error 381
Invalid property array index

I noticed that:
   The display for Battle Group on the System Map had parentheses without anything between them.
   Selecting Task Group window triggered the same errors.
   In the TG window the Battle Group ship names had (A) after their names.

I did delete the (corrupt?) Battle Group and inserted a replacement using SM.
The game appeared to function fine for a while but placing orders:
   Move to Mars
   Pick up Team
   Move to Venus
   Drop Team

I got the these error reports:

Error in CheckSpecialOrders
Error 3021 was generated by DAO. Field
No current record

Error in LoadOrders
Error 94
Invalid use of Null

Thanks for a very interesting and challenging game.  I hope the above helps.

New "Highly Rated" button does not exist on Officers Screen if Reduced Height option turned on. (Intelligence and Foreign also missed Tolerances panel..)

Fixed a problem with fighter combat bonuses. Commanders were getting massive experience increases.

Maint life is just an estimate, though i've yet to see a civ component fail. That said big cheap components(cyro bays) are probably worse on maint life than big expensive ones(magazines), if the big cheap ones drive up the failure rate of the more expensive per size components and don't provide the corresponding MSP boost that the big expensive ones do.

It's not just the fact that they don't provide MSP.  Look at the 1 and 5 year MSP estimates.  I may build the ships anyway and SM them if I have to.

When I tick the "Show All Pops" button in the TG orders screen, the fleet very often ends up on the central star in stead of on the targeted planet.

Example: I am on Procyon, I push "Show all Pops" and choose "Earth". The game puts in intermediary orders, with the final order "move to Earth" -  and the ship is on its way. When it arrives, I get no message (because it is has not arrived on the correct planet), instead it sits on Sol. I don't think this happens all the time, but pretty often.

Still on 6.1, but this is not mentioned among the bug fixes for 6.21, so I guess it is still there.

Small bug :
New game with sol system.
Add like 0. 2 greenhouse gas to earth and build infrastructures.  Now you get random number in Summary/ Current Infrastrucutre.
