Had a few questions. I have the demo and my full game should be coming tomorrow.

Refits. How do you refit an existing ship? I see how to upgrade designs, but not how to refit the existing ships.

How do you load an empire once you have started. I guess I should ask, can you load an empire for a quick start game? I just get a little tired redesigning basic ships. Is loading the empire the only way to get around this?

Bases, I noticed that you seemed to be allowed to add propulsion to bases, is this possible to build mobile bases and do they move just as fast as the regular ships? What would be the incentive to (other than cost) to not build any of the other classes and just build mammoth bases as ships?

Are there any advantages to building more than one supply depot or multiple space yards at a site? Does it decrease the build time having multiples?

Is there any way to change the name of a ship individually?

How do you gather intelligence on other races.

Thanks.
