I was wondering if anyone knew how the max stars in the new game settings work with NPR's, the new system Steve put in place for advanced multi system NPRS and in general.

Lets say i want a death match style game with a max of 25 stars. 

Is the game limited to 25 stars or will it create additional stars beyond that limit to make room for NPRs?

Lets say in that 25 max stars game, i add 2 advanced NPRs with multi systems, is that taken in account for the max or how will that work?

If I am not mistaken, that is not a hard cap but a number after which new systems won't generate new connections. This means that if you are at 24 and surveying 2 systems that have been previously discovered these will have connections to other systems, however, as soon as you jump in the new system hitting your 25 limit, then that system and any other system discovered after that will not have any connection. Long story short, you may end up exactly at 25, or even 50 for that matter.

Does real stars vs generated stars really matter in a star limit due to distances?

Garfunkel replied to this for you.

Hello all,

im new to this game, and im trying to figure out how to reassign a scientist or recruit one to a category

To change research field of the scientist, go to Commanders window and select scientist you want to change. Then on the bottom bar there is Change Field button (research bonus of the scientist will be lowered by 75%). New window will open where you can select new field for the scientist.

New scientists are recruited from Military Academies (you can construct them with industry. Then you can select academy commander. If the commander is scientist, there is higher chance to generate scientists from the academy. To select academy commander, go to Commanders window and select scientist, the in lower right part of the window there is field named Academy Commandant, under it is list of your academies. Select the academy and then click Assign button on the bottom bar.

We are playing a game in which Newtonian physics is obsolete. Aircrafts use the same tech every ship and its shuttles use. Some kind of antigravity magic. So, any air unit can be a subject to the same modifiers that ground units are.

I remember someone proposing in great detail implementation of air units, completely implemented in to existing ground combat mechanics. With different aircraft sizes, weapon stats and roles on the field. I tried to look for that post many times, but failed to find it. There is another one posted I thing in April of this year, but that is not the one I remember.

Exactly. I'm trying to make as few assumptions as possible while still keeping the "spirit" of what an aircraft is. As for why I didn't want to include particular "missions" and whatnot with my suggestion, it's simple: I didn't want it to lead to micromanaging ground forces. They should be set-and-forget, and this system allows for exactly that.

This system also lends itself well to working with existing systems.

A fleet that has had its speed set via the Set Speed button (and with the "Use Maximum Speed" checkbox unticked) reverts to max speed (though the checkbox remains unticked) whenever another fleet joins, or whenever ships are detached from the fleet.
