The minimum jump engine size tech doesn't seem to do anything. I can build size 1 jump engines without researching any of the techs.

I didn't realize it only affected the self-jump constraint. Never mind, the tech is only confusingly named.
It does not mean that the engine can only jump the ship it is mounted on.

That the ship can only jump itself? I am certain that self-jump ships cannot act as jump tenders for other ships even for standard transits.

It is unintuitive but like many things in aurora wdye
So if I have a ship with a self-jump drive that is stood at a JP. Would other ships be able to use that jump drive to standard transit through? Would they have to go 1-1 or does that jump drive have infinite throughput?

Infinite throughput.Just replace the term "self-jump only" in your mind with "standard transit only".
Just replace the term "self-jump only" in your mind with "standard transit only".

While dragging weapons to Directors it is possible to create a serious error. I believe I did this when I accidentally dragged a fire director onto another Beam fire director which somehow froze Aurora it created the following error series on loading againNow when I go to the ship combat window for any ship not just the ship I was on or its class I get the following errorFunction #2147 The Given Key was not present in the directorythen on clicking okFunction #463 The Given Key was not present in the directoryclicking ok ends the errors but gives a blank ship combat window.Following this clicking on a different ship gives#357 The Given Key was not present in the directoryand still a blank Ship Combat screenEdit The bug seems to persist in previous saved DB's
Being fired upon by STO units only doesn't seem to flag a race as hostile. This isn't a problem for the player, as they can do it manually, but it does make NPR's unable to fight back. The cheeky boys colonized the moon of my colony in Alpha Centauri. Set the "Cronulla Star Empire" hostile and watch the fireworks fly; the STOs are already set to shoot. Oddly enough when I sent that fleeing lifeboat back to drop my scuttled diplo station's survivors off, the planet's STOs lit THAT up, but were not flagged as hostile and are not responding to my own bombardment.
