Editing Game Slowdown (section)

==Universe size slowdown==
As the explored universe expands, by yourself, an NPR or something else, your game speed may begin to slow down as Aurora will need to start tracking much larger numbers of systems, planets, orbits etc., especially as more systems will be occupied and more empires will crop up. This is generally an unavoidable side-effect of longer games, however, there are few measure that can help to alleviate this:

* Changing the maximum number of systems to a lower number, Disable all orbital movement from asteroids to planets, and or Change the global detection settings. Done from the [[Game interface#Initial Screen|start up]] screen.
* Disable detection in certain key systems. Useful when playing with several player Empires. Go to the Sensor tab of the [[System_Map|system map]] window.
