Me would like to get my tentacles on this list of medals

Me would like to get my tentacles on this list of medals 

If I can remember to do so I'll see about typing up a CSV and attaching a ZIP with that and the images I borrowed from Wiki.

I thought there was a way to export/import medals directly from the game.

[nuclearslurpee]

Import yes, export Soon™.

On the main window, turn on spacemaster mode by clicking the lightbulb button.  Then click on the gear.  Near the bottom left of this window, there should be a "Detection Settings" field.

Default is normal detection in all systems, where NPR's follow the same rules you do everywhere.

No detection without player presence means combat can't happen without a player in the system.

Automatic detection without player presence means detection is guaranteed in systems without a player present and combat is probably to the death; you'll get a burst of 5-second increments as the NPR's kill each other, but the fight will be decisive, so you shouldn't get months of 6-hour increments.

Actually I tried this before. Apparently whatever value I set is not saved

I tried editing the DB directly for this option and not working either, still having months-long 6-hour increments 

(crosspost in the v1.12 bug thread)
Fed up with this, I decided to try investigate myself

Looks like some NPR fleets (which is construction fleet) keep jumping back and forth at a jump point, keep triggering hostile contacts for another NPR. The other NPR, not outdoing hostilities, also have another fleet jumping back and forth at the same jump point.
 
I edited the DB to take control, SM delete the offending ships, and put control back (edit DB again). This appears to fix the issue.

So the enemies are in range, fire all our missiles and run!! All 21 missiles, in box launchers, are launched at once, flying towards the target...

What? Our missiles just disappeared in the thin air?

No, no nuclear detonations. Not even energy impacts. Our missiles are just gone in the middle of the empty space...

How come my missiles just disappeared in the thin air?

If you flee leaving the missiles out of MFC range they will not be able to be guided and reach the target.

[Garfunkel]

Targets disappear, missiles vanish if they do not have sensors built into them. There are 4 reasons for this:

1. Target gets destroyed.
2. Target jumps through a JP.
3. Target goes beyond the range of the MFC guiding the missiles.
4. Target goes beyond the range of the AS seeing it.

[pwhk]

Looks like MFC range is likely. I was firing the missiles at the edge of MFC range and immediately leaves the vicinity...
Actually after reload Aurora I moved well into range and fired the missiles, only to got shot down by enemy PD...  Try better next time I guess

A couple of quick questions :-

On earth I have a Projected Usage for Gallicite of 1320 and underneath the 1320 is showing as being used for Maintenance

1) What time period is the projected usage - a month or a year ?

2) What Maintenance could the Gallicite be for ?  I am not constructing maintenance supplies , no shipyards are upgrading or in use.

Projected use time frame is 1 year. And the maintenance column shows usage for manufacturing MSP, so if it's showing something you ARE making MSP.

[davidr]

TheTalkingMeowth,

Thank you for your reply. You are quite right - I had not stopped the maintenance facilities production which was 13,200 MSP per year , equating to 1320 of Gallicite , 1320 Duranium and 660 Uridium.

I have now stopped production and my Projected Usage now only shows 2222 Sorium for the Fuel Refineries.

Would it be possible to play something similar to an BSG (The new one, not the old one.) scenario with your entire population in a fleet?

There's nothing stopping you transporting large amounts of population around in cryo-storage.
However, population needs to be on a body in order to do anything, so the population couldn't do things like building, wealth generation, maintenance or mining.

[QuakeIV]

The short answer is 'no not really'

Though my general understanding is steve is in favor of this idea he is just kindof slowly working his way towards it
