v1.8.0

If primary order is not valid but secondary order is valid, we are still getting "Orders Not Possible" messages when the ship has no other orders (and stopping auto-turn).

1. Have a survey ship with both geo-survey sensors and grav-survey sensors.
2. Set a survey ship with Primary standing order "Survey Nearest Body" and Secondary standing order "Survey Nearest Survey Location"
3. Send the ship to a system with all bodies geo-surveyed (or having no stellar bodies at all) but have some grav-survey points remaining to survey
4. Every time the ship has no order Events prompt "<ship> is unable to carry out its default order (Survey Nearest Body) as there is no acceptable destination within ten billion kilometers. And stopping auto-turn too.

I am pretty sure VB6 Aurora does not have such behavior unless both orders are not valid.

Attached DB have this keep happening, if it helps.

Tiny bug.

Cargo ships with cargo hold below 5k can't move cargo.  The standard cargo orders doesn't appear.
I've created small freighter with 2 tiny cargo holds (1k capacity) just to move minerals (I don't use mass drivers) and cargo shuttles module and no joy. 
When I edited in SM mode design adding 3 additional cargo holds the orders showed up.

v1.8.0, I can confirm this too, having orbital miners with a single Tiny cargo bay intended to "pack up the minerals" after mining, just to found myself unable to do so.
(Not so much luck to add cargo bay for me because I need to keep the design under 10k tons for my shipyards to build...)
(If needed, my database on the last post also have such designs)

v1. 8. 0

If primary order is not valid but secondary order is valid, we are still getting "Orders Not Possible" messages when the ship has no other orders (and stopping auto-turn).

1.  Have a survey ship with both geo-survey sensors and grav-survey sensors.
2.  Set a survey ship with Primary standing order "Survey Nearest Body" and Secondary standing order "Survey Nearest Survey Location"
3.  Send the ship to a system with all bodies geo-surveyed (or having no stellar bodies at all) but have some grav-survey points remaining to survey
4.  Every time the ship has no order Events prompt "<ship> is unable to carry out its default order (Survey Nearest Body) as there is no acceptable destination within ten billion kilometers.  And stopping auto-turn too.

i got this in since 1. 8 aswell earlier versions did not do this

I don't know if this is a bug , but should there be the facility to re-order each mineral by quantity in the Minerals screen. at present only Duranium is sorted by quantity.

This is from 1.7.3 haven't updated to last yet, so it might be fixed already: My shipofficers, for now are going into retirement at the age of 31, 32 & 38...?

"The window will order by the mineral with the highest minimum amount"

Yes, working as intended. See the changes log.

[Duzzit]

Minor thing, big sorium harvesters will not automatically dump fuel on a planet if they only have a refuelling hub, they specifically require a refuelling system to do the auto-order.

[TMaekler]

When a ship goes above it's intended deployment time, there is no record of that in the log messages.

When generating a new race, build points are still locked at what ever the starting population size was. They do not adjust to changing the population like any other population stats.

[Kristover]

Not so much a bug but an annoyance but on the event log, when a Commander is promoted can the message show his command?  I don’t use automated assignments and about 15-20 years in when I get a ton of promotions, the promoted officer is relieved if too senior for assignment and leaves their ship/unit posting and I don’t notice unless I check specifically for it..  It seems like it would be easy enough text to add to event log promotion notification.

I accidently openend Aurora again by clicking on the game icon - and it opened another copy of the game.  Intended?

First bug:

1)  Build a (civilian) ship and set the armour to 0.
2) Update the armour
3) Build and put the ship into a fleet.
4) If you select the ship in fleet view, you get an "Function #2801: tried to devide by 0 (zero)" error .  .  .   and the ship description under "ship design display" shows only "error" instead of whats in the ship.

Fix: Dont build ships (that are not station) with 0 Armour . . .  thats unintuative since stations are allowed no armour.

This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes

giving this ship (that should be valid for surveying for all intense and purposis) the standing orders to "survey next five system bodies" or "survey nearest survey location" doesnt initiate that task if you have select increment length & select sub-pulse length set to 1 hour (i waited 15 days, restarted PC and client to make sure those wern't it either).
If increment length set to 3h (and sub-pulse stays at 1h) it works like expected and it works the orders out.

Immediately after a temperature rise causes an ice sheet to melt, water vapour ATM is double-counted (for GHF purposes) on the Environment tab.
The error goes away after the following production cycle.
I noticed this when Europa's ice sheet melted, because the new temperature reported in the Event log did not match the temperature on the Environment tab.  (The Env tab was making the error. )

1. 8. 0

Minor bug

I had this happened twice in succession.  I transited jump ship and two grav surveyers with "transit and divide" -order.  Once done I ordered jump ship to transit back, but I got Transit Failure cannot tranisit as there is no available jump drive capable of allowing fleet's commercial engines to enter the jump point. 

In the following increment it jumps just fine so nothing game breakin, just weird.
