Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

I'd love to see:

1) ability to save orders mid-stream
2) ability to open orders too see what orders you actually sent Last turn (didn't I wind up sending my fleet through that wormhole??!)
3)...

"It goes in order. It finds all ships that meet A, then of those, what meets B? Then C, then D, and then random if there is more than one ship left to pick from."

So, if I have A =...

Re: overlapping fleets?

I would love to be able to save progress on my turn, open it later, and continue working on it.

overlapping fleets?

If I have several fleets at a particular location, will they all engage in battle together? If so, then each fleet could be assigned a specific function: e.g., one defending my unarmed ships (with...

Re: Advice on protecting unarmed ships

(2) How can I...

timing of mineral collection, retrofit?

If I don't have enough minerals to retrofit, but I will collect enough next turn, can I retrofit now and rely on the income from next turn? Or, do I collect, then retrofit?
Thanks!

Fleets made up of ships armed with DUCs always beat fleets made up of Null Space Weapons, because of the reload time. I've heard the Null Space Weapons are great, so there must be a trick to using...
