Capnq & Growltigga,

Thanks as ever. I am very keen on the spaceyards idea, and the cargo transfer sounds really helpful.

Still not tried the retrofitting thing. Will do so shortly.

Mac,

Still early in game, I haven't built battlestations yet. Do I build them and carry them in a very large cargo hold? Or do I build a ship with a spaceyard on it and build them in situ?

Re: New player struggling

Hi all,

Doing better now, one more question though.

When you are picking up or dropping off cargo, it always drops off or picks up EVERYTHING.

How can I select the amount??
