Any idea why Marvin links this research to a different person than Aurora does? I also checked: there is no personnel in my entire staff with that name.

Looks like there is an imposter in your ranks. You empire is in danger from within! 

I found the bug and will release a fixed version in a couple of minutes. Thanks for the report!

We've found the final Cylon

Just a small thing: A shipyard that is tooled for an obsolete ship class but which is already undergoing retooling is marked as "being tooled for an obsolete ship class". Technically correct but maybe you can clear those entries which are already scheduled for retooling?

I'll take a look at it. Thanks for the report!

Sorry that these ideas come in bits and pieces... I write them down as I encounter them.

The warning that a system is not fully explored could also use a qualifier. If a ship with active geo or grav tasks is in that system, maybe the warning should not be shown... . What do you think?

Also: if you have flagged a system as claimed by another race, it doesn't make much sense to get a warning about that system not being fully explored.

Good ideas, I'll try to implement them. Thanks!

Hi,

a new idea for managing bigger empires. Once you have more than one base planet for construction it would be nice if you could see the mineral statistic dependent upon those planets or bases to see if a local system runs out of specific minerals. So any way to be able to "split" the resource view on a specific selection of planet(s) or base(s) could come in handy that way.

Same with fuel, supplies etc.

Tug Calculator: The one annoying thing with tugging space stations around is that you cannot see the max moving distance of the object to move. You can have a tug that can move on its own around 900bkm, but having a million t space station attached that max range can fall dramatically - and you eventually will run out of fuel with a not carefully planned tugging action.

So a tugging calculator would be nice. You can select your tug and that overview screen shows you the max tugging distance for all ships in your fleet which have no armor.

For SpaceMasters who manage more than one empire, it would be nice if the overview screen could display all messages sorted by empire. For select race you could add "SpaceMaster" and get an overview like this:

Greater Union
=========
Known aether rift growth rate reduction: 10%
Purchase minerals from Lalande Resource Group but no mass driver destination is set
System Artemis is not fully geo surveyed. Bodes: 112. Surveyed bodes: 59

Space Alliance
=========
Wreck of ship class Galaxy Mk.2 located in System Barnards Star
Ship Iceland 001 of fleet Encke Space Station has only 0% of MSPs left
System Beowulf is not fully geo surveyed. Bodes: 409. Surveyed bodes: 88

Also: you can select those messages but not copy the text to an external text editor. Would be a nice QoL 

[TMaekler]

Could you add an error message for the case when a planet mines more minerals than it can send out via Mass Driver, so you can send new MDs there?

There appears to be a bug in the "Orbital miner X of fleet Y orbiting Z is idle: No minerals on body left" detection. Note the first two have been there a while, but the third one (Asteroid #13) appeared as soon as I dropped the OM on it and hasn't gone away.
