1. Shuttle Automation

Shuttle automation is now implemented in Simcountry. As of today, it is possible to specify transport missions, with origin, destination, product name and quantity. The transport will start as soon as one or more shuttles are available and will continue until the entire mission is fulfilled.

If multiple cargo shuttles are available, they will be used to speed up the transport. It is also possible to specify multiple missions and they will be taken care of in parallel.

All shuttle movements and actions are logged and details of the execution are available.

2. Space Trading

Some products are already trading on space stations and their number will increase. With easier transport and much reduced manual management of the cargo shuttles, space trading can become an important function in the trading of products between the worlds. All nuclear weapons and materials, and in time more products will

Jonni, regarding 1)

Does goods only taken from the actual space centre and delivered to the other space-centre (no touching national stockpiles)? I have experienced some goods disappearing while moving em thru this automation system.

Okay. There is a bug.

Transport Aborted

This page listed me as having dropped of 750 Precision Bombers. However, I checked the space center and there was only 75. The products have disappeared entirely from the shuttles.
Note: SGR 001 is located in Fire Bayonet on GR and Blue Moon is located in Liliths Shadow on FB.

J Jonni Gil All worlds 05 May 2011 11:40Link @NiAi Goods only move from space center to space center. The national stockpile is not touched. This can also be found in the new Space documentation! @Scarlet An engineer is looking into this problem now. Thanks for the quick find, we are trying to solve it asap. Jonni W3C N NiAi (Little Upsilon) All worlds 05 May 2011 11:51Link Thx Jonni for looking into this. Its been irritating to see much of the transported goods disappear. S Scarlet (Little Upsilon) All worlds 05 May 2011 11:53Link Okay, I'm only jesting about being angry . . . I figured there would be bugs after it was just released. R RoboCop All worlds 05 May 2011 12:22Link @Scarlet Problem fixed. Added 975 bombers to Blue Moon Space Center. 750 bombers are still in your shuttles. Thanks for reporting! R RoboCop All worlds 05 May 2011 12:33Link @NiAi Problem fixed. Added 121,000 missiles and 3,000 bombs to your Space Center. Thanks for reporting! J Josias (Kebir Blue) All worlds 05 May 2011 16:02Link must say tht my initial reaction, is that this is great!! better than i expected, and smoother. i really like how shuttles kinda act like supply units now. this has added an interesting twist to the game... thats very, very cool. thanks allot S Scarlet (Fearless Blue) All worlds 05 May 2011 16:25Link I'm very happy about this as well. Very quick on the bug fix. T Tom Willard All worlds 05 May 2011 17:27Link Although the most urgent problems are now fixed, there are some more issues: 1. Too many shuttles are being sent to participate. Some remain empty. This will be optimized in the coming days. we are not aging shuttles yet until their use is optimized. This is very urgent. 2. Too many shuttles are painted, parked on the 5 worlds. You do not see the worlds any more. we will change this and paint only your shuttles and the ones that are on a mission. it will also make painting the screen faster. 3. we will test with more frequent repainting so that movements will be more frequent and steps smaller. 4. buying and selling of shuttles and managing the space centers will be easier to find and accessible from the space program menu. 5. The space center page will be improved to always show what is in the space center and the number of units per product plus totals. 6. shuttles will fly following each other inste S SuperSoldierRCP (Little Upsilon) All worlds 05 May 2011 19:20Link im missing so much shit. 28M trucks, and so much more. where is everything S SuperSoldierRCP (Little Upsilon) All worlds 05 May 2011 19:27Link 400M units of Aircraft fuel 26152 attack drones 800M units of military supplies 4000 units of plutonim Rounded numbers 1.1M shuttle boosters 730K shuttle components 60K shuttle maintenance units and 30M trucks Can i have my stuff please?

Prefers to be grounded than up in da clouds. :S J Josias (White Giant) All worlds 06 May 2011 07:46Link had #2 been done, it would have made space trade allot easier while we waited for automted shuttles. still, this is a great improvement, as i've almost finished moving 400M ammo upgrades off where they were stuck on KB. i love this. what a great feature!! T Tom Willard All worlds 06 May 2011 10:47Link We will check any possible losses made yesterday and fix them. you do not need to tell us what was lost as we can see all the details of wrong deliveries made yesterday. we do not have any such problems any more. S Scarlet (Kebir Blue) All worlds 07 May 2011 05:07Link Maybe add an option to "cleanup" finished or aborted transports from that pop-up that lists transports (like for relief resources). Unless they disappear automatically after some time has passed. J Josias (White Giant) All worlds 08 May 2011 06:28Link hey, how about some sort of teaser about space war, tell us something about what its going to be like? how its going to work, what kind of weapons and armor? are we going to get? something !?! S Scarlet (Fearless Blue) All worlds 08 May 2011 10:52Link Oh, they disappear automatically. S SuperSoldierRCP (Little Upsilon) All worlds 08 May 2011 20:01Link Tommi How long will it take to get all goods i didn't receive? I havent gotten them yet and i miss my goods S Scarlet (Little Upsilon) All worlds 09 May 2011 04:54Link Also, how about a "priority" mechanism like with relief resources? J Josias (White Giant) All worlds 09 May 2011 07:23Link yeah, a priority system would be really cool S Synicus (White Giant) All worlds 09 May 2011 08:17Link Space system curently lags then freezes for me.
