Its almost like we're a Bureaucracy, in space!

I set sail for the Planet of Lab Requisitions!!

So is it possible to add ships via the SM somehow to a side? I swear there was a button somewhere but I simply can't locate it.

Under the spacemaster button on the main menu bar.

Hey hey everyone! I'm back from Navy OCS and ready to get back into it with all our glorious space navy shenanigans! The god-bureaucrat of industry will not be assuaged!

....Is that still a valid thing to jingoistically blow out of proportion?


Now to see how long it takes for your real life rank to catch up with the imaginary one.

Something's not working right with the images for me. This is how it appears on chrome:



If I manually open an image link in a new tab, the image displays correctly. Problem with hotlinking?

Firefox doesn't even bother to display that an image exists.

So a few more Aurora questions;

- Is there a way to SM add ground units?
- How do you SM add officers?
- Is there a way to edit ships task force training levels?
- Multi stage missiles, how the hell do you get the second stage to go after a population, just give it thermal sensors?

1. Yes, in SA mode open the populations screen, then go to the ground forces training tab - you need to have a training facility there which you can add and remove after. There's a Create button with a text field that'll let you add any number.
2. In SA mode, open the officers screen. On the bottom, there will be an Recruit officers button. Specify how many you want and it'll add them at the lowest rank. Next few turns will have higher ranks promoted as needed
3. Yes, in SA mode open the Races screen. You can set your task force training level there on a scale of 1 to 5.
4. You monster. (Yes, need thermal sensors)

I definitely reccommend setting your force training level to 5 at pretty much all times, then using conscript crews for civilian ships. I have never managed to actually run out of trained crew even when spamming warships but the added crew grade is pretty handy.

I just found this LP and I'm trying to figure out why the images don't load for me. If I quote the post and copy the url and go to it directly I'll see the image, but I can't get them to show up inside the posts. Something about the personal host or something I don't know. I'm using Firefox like an idiot.

I can't be the first person to have this issue?

Some of the earlier ones seem to be missing for me as well but it gets better. I have this issue at work and there was a time where BG got his site where he hosts them blacklisted by a bunch of UK ISP's somehow.

The images are there, they show up in the awful app so it's probably some browser garbage that I'm too much of a loving idiot to figure out

Sorry

If I pop up to the first post, I see broken images, too. If I right click the broken image and choose "view in new tab," the images load fine. Maybe there's some sort of URL_REFERRER horseshit going on?

It looks like the image links are HTTP but as far as I know ZDR changed the forums to not load anything that isn't HTTPS, so it's probably that.

Yeah I see console messages about my browser upgrading the image urls to HTTPS.

Manually going to the image url and changing it to HTTPS gives me a certificate error. The cert it is using is only valid for the hostgator (I'll assume that's his host) domains. Hooray.

Thanks for putting in some work on this, I'll see if there's anything I can change in my end.

LP isn't over, but I don't have time in my life for it right now.

I'm job searching, buying a house, engaging in local politics, and still doing all my other non-CW hobbies, so this one fell to the bottom. Disappointing I'm sure, but it will return some day.

In the meantime, might I suggest Saros's LP.
