Even though, for reasons unknown to me, Haxus is absolutely unavailable - I now classify the game as dead. I had very high hopes when the announcement for Steam was published. The possibility FINALLY for years to make your own server / co-op server - in vain.

I still hope that nothing bad has happened to Haxus.

I was wondering if anyone had the Galactic Chat incoming Ping sound. I really want to make it my text tone.

So I've noticed now that it seems certain star system layouts/loadouts cause massive lag. 

For me it seems to be systems that have planetoids with a very large orbit radius. I have no problems with any other systems.
Example, binary stars with planetoids in both stars sphere of influence, no issues. 

(Not complaining ), Just reporting my experience so far. 

Pic below brings my fps to its knees 

Scope: Starships/Spaceships, pirates, ground units/buildings, Crew AI


Bug: While in orbit or just above a pirate base, the crew will not automatically attack using any stance. 


Current remedy: Fire manually, auto-hot key? 


Steps to reproduce:
1. Locate pirate scum 
2. Orbit or hover over pirate base
3. Set stance to anything aggressive
4. Nothing will happen. 

Add the ability to right click on a sector and select a option titled "Survey Sector" from the star map. Have this select all unexplored systems, place them in the mission screen with survey entire solar system orders in-between each system. 

Pic for reference:

My main avatar at ID YQC seemingly lost the ability to attack or use items with left-click at some point. It used to be able to, as I placed a flag and attacked a bunch when I first started the empire. I have checked that all of the binds are default, which they are. 

I tested with a new avatar on the same save, and that one worked fine. It could attack as normal. As a result, I think some form of avatar corruption may have happened on the main one. I can provide the save if needed

For years I have maintained a couple of domain names at Network Solutions. They were never used for anything. I am currently letting them expire.

They are free to anyone who wants them. Send a private message and we can work out the transfer.

I'm quite sure this has been suggested over and over again and I only spent a few seconds checking but I could not find it. 

We went to Denver last week to empty out the server cabinets. It was a whirlwind trip: lots of driving, disassembly of the servers, dinner with the kids and grand kids, then lots more driving back home the next day.

Our half-height server cabinet was wrapped in plastic when it was stored in the barn nine years ago. It almost perfectly accommodated the servers with only one U slot left over.

It makes a nice trophy but I do not plan to add the 10kw of power to the barn that would be needed to turn them all on. That would only be the beginning as HVAC would be needed and and and... Maybe it will find a new home some day but that's not likely.

Nothing has been plugged in yet because the barn is a total disaster at the moment. Lumber is stacked and piled everywhere for a fencing project. Paula and I finally finished staining all the boards yesterday. That was a ton of work, hundreds of boards, scores of heavy 6x6 posts, gallons of wood stain. The server got parked where it wasn't in the way and there it sits until the din subsides to the usual dull roar.

I have a bug where my space fighters won't increase or decrease thrust at all with page up/down. I can fly up and down, side to side, and rotate, but there's no way to increase thrust. It's like the page up and page down buttons have stopped working. I'm having no luck figuring out why this is happening yet
