The Aurora
------------------
Rarely the traveler in the Ooniverse has the chance to spot the mighty Auroa Megacruiser. With a length of 4.3. kilometer and about 800 meters in height it really is a mobile world capable of supporting 500.000 souls in a standard setting. Transportation takes place by high speed people/alien movers. The Aurora surprisingly does not support a public ship dock.
The dock masters of the Aurora want to now exactly who is on board. The waiting list for a place on one of the Ooniverses' 100 Aurora's is almost 10 years.

facilities
On board the passengers are treated with a wealth of facilities. From shopping malls to hospitals, a public central park, A botanic gardens and hotels. Passengers travel for more than a year on the ship. In it's travel it takes passengers to all the 8 galaxies.

Engines
4 GASEC SR-GD's(Space Rotary Galactic Drive) take the ship to 0.24 LM which is quite fast for such a large ships but hence we are talking about engines with a 200 meter wide engine tube.

safety
It's a safe ship but it still can be nuked or Q-bombed (energy=3500) so expect it to be escorted by quite a large fleet. In case of an emergency a large lifeboat fleet can evacuate the richest passengers.

nice one.

be a nice juicy target for the Thargoids that, wonder what it would be like if the bugs actually got inside.. =8-(

[Edmund]

Nice! Good work chaps
Downloaded. Hope I see one soon

[pagroove]

Encountering the ship gets very rare if you have lot's of transporters, big traders and other ships installed. After a week I saw one. Well not literary one week but each night I played one hour or so. So it took about 7 hours.

Of course the chance of meeting the ship is only in stable high tech level systems. To see the ship jump out is very rare. But then you can enjoy a
wormhole. with a diameter of 15 to 20 kilometer.

[pagroove]

Did anyone encounter one?
Me still once (after I deleted the spawn script that is). Chance of meeting is very low.

[Cows]

I saw two in the same system

Any other pics of this ship? The original one is confusing for the eye, and the ones linked here are too small...
Did i really need to quote that? Yes! Quote snowballs are fun!

[Corny]

Saw one! Noticed it because the game got all laggy and there was some biiig angular shape seen in the distance.
I resized the diffuse textures to 512x512, maybe that helps.

Edit: Nope, doesn't.

[Lucidor]

I also saw two at once. I dropped a q-mine on one and shot the engines on the other and scooped the passengers to be sold as slaves. Still I didn't get a speck on my legal status. Clean as a whistle.

You wont have your criminal record effected unless you are spotted by GalCop Police. It's a little odd that it works that way as obviusly the survivors would of talked, but that's just how the game works.

[Lucidor]

Ok, I thought it was enough that other ships saw it.
