Re: Newbie
1. There is no way to escape combat unless you can stay out of weapons range of the attacking vessel for 30 turns.
2. Yes, you will need to design and build a ship with satallite launch pod component. When the ship has loaded some satallites new icons will be available on the toolbar (launch / retrieve, launch remotely, recover). Either move to where you want to launch the sats or click launch remotely and click where you want the sats.
3. Tactical movement is equal to half your strategic movemnt rounded up (I think). If you lose engines, you'll lose movement very fast.
4. Um. There was a group working on a beter manual, the only thing available now is the 'dubious strategy' guide (I think that's the name) from the mods download area.
