And I have no idea what we'd do if we meet and decide to start shooting at each other.

If you can figure out how to do Pbem and need another, I'd like to play.

I played Aurora for a spell back in 2010. I was between jobs and the game literally consumed all my time until I discovered Mount & Blade and started playing POP. I played through several scenarios using v5.0 and v5.1. I was able to set up a vibrant mining economy across several systems a number of times but always seemed to strip out key resources before being able to create a sufficiently powerful fleet for defense. I absolutely loved designing ships and all the systems to go with them, as steep a learning curve and befuddling as it could be. I loved it when I could recruit a scientist that gave me that extra bonus to researching a tech I desperately wanted. So much to love about the game, so demanding of time to immerse in it as well. Aurora is the game that broke Eve's hold on me, a seductive and demanding mistress for sure.

This kind of like WITP AE in Space?

Its more like what you would get if WitP had a menage a trois with WitE and WitW, resulting in the birth of a love child.

And when you hit a battle, you discover the other member in the menage a quad being Harpoon or CMANO, as the ability to fire different weapon systems on different targets is not in Witp/Wite/Witw.
