After reading this thread, I got an idea for a new starting scenario to address two issues: filtering players and bugs affecting the asteroid.

A number of bugs are causing the asteroid catastrophe to be unavoidable. Between the "yeet bug" and the rest, a lot of players are losing their home world before they can mount an extra-solar expedition and establish a new HQ. It seems everyone agrees that some kind of filter needs to be present to gate gameplay and force players to learn the skills necessary to master space flight and competent city building, else lose their home planet and be forced to retry in another sector.

The largest volcano on your home world is going to erupt (same timescale mechanics as asteroid). On the first day of the eruption the atmosphere is still standard. After a set period of time (not sure if Hazeron can trigger events based on # of orbits, would be ideal) the atmosphere becomes tainted, then exotic and finally corrosive whereupon the planet becomes totally uninhabitable with a reasonable amount of time in between stages. Whether or not the atmosphere goes full insidious would be up to Haxus.

In the end the planet is unusable just as with the asteroid except that it would not rely on asteroid mechanics or any of the bugs that are encountered with that type of disaster. Seeing a planet gradually become a blasted wasteland could also be a fun way to die and opens the door to allow more time between commencement of the disaster and the planet's destruction, possibly giving a visceral motivation for a player to go that extra mile to escape before the surface of their planet corrodes away entirely. I would think that this catastrophe would also take longer from beginning to end than the asteroid to give totally new players time to react, ask for help, etc. I also like the idea of other empires coming to bail players out of environmental catastrophes.



Edit: Pollution / global warming mechanic???
Edit x2: Check out these other ideas.

If I as an Empire where to manufacture mass amounts of Bullion would that in turn increase the Government Debt I as an avatar can collect from the bank as income?

on Wayland (Xorg successor) the game runs well.
Unfortunately when the game grab the mouse, it is like infinite spin, so impossible to move.

Log is saying:
qt.qpa.wayland: Setting cursor position is not possible on wayland
qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()
This plugin supports grabbing the mouse only for popup windows


Using Arch Linux with
qt5-base 5.15.5+kde+r174-1
qt5-declarative 5.15.5+kde+r19-1
qt5-svg 5.15.5+kde+r11-1
qt5-translations 5.15.5+kde+r2-1
qt5-wayland 5.15.5+kde+r38-3
qt5-x11extras 5.15.5+kde+r0-1
qt6-base 6.3.1-1
qt6-svg 6.3.1-1
qt6-translations 6.3.1-1


Workaround: unset environment variable related to Wayland so the game will launch with "standard" qt lib.
env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY -u QT_QPA_PLATFORM /HazeronLauncher

Hullo, a ghost from the past here. Discovered this game back in 2013 i think, and now again.
Am wondering, is there any way to review ship designs from old tile based system? Had one nice thing back then and want to recreate it anew, but barely remember what it was, and have no good screenshots left. Just the ship file.
Maybe someone saved old client files?

Is there any programs out there or any way to download a ship design if I where to find schematics for said ship?  The reason why I ask is because I see in the blueprint archive some ships that I recognize from movies, games etc...?  Where they downloaded also?

Hello fellow Hazeron player and species, Laywn here with a request or purchase of a specific ship design.

I'm not a ship builder and have very limited knowledge of how to build one so I'm actively looking for someone to build a ship for me that I would use as my Empire standard design.  I'm looking for the ship from the TV show Firefly, named Serenity.

*Note* I'm extremely interested in a very detailed design/layout as close to the real thing and color as possible.  I'm whiling to use PayPal/Steam or another agreed transaction for compensation for this project.  I've been playing SoH for years now but my erratic work schedules do not allow me to get the in game time I would like to try to design it myself.

Wormhole PNN and Warp 1 is fine to start.

I really hope someone is interested, I am prepared to make it worth their while. Below is a link/pic to start you out.

Game keeps crashing while play. 
Happens while using galactic chat, trying to terraform, and just building up the start capitol.

No error message shows up but I do get crash dumps which i have link to. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1...sp=sharing

And that was only today's.
I had more from back in march of this year

Why can't I throw them to inflict bludgeon and disease damage?














Or harvest them from my crew at a medical station?

Ok so I have a solar system that I like however I just can not find any Bolite in Frigid zones or in surrounding systems with frigid zones.  Is this possible ??? or Am I missing something ??? And if im not missing something is my only option at this point is traveling direct to a new system ???

Any help would be greatly helpful, really!

Thanks from your friendly alien neighboring species!

When I try to create any avatar, (not just Gen IV it turns out) it gives me a full list of shaders that failed to link.  VCredist failed to install because it said there was an existing version on the computer already.

Is this common?
