Im pretty much brand new to the game and have just a few questions.
1) Why does the comp build bsy stations? for the repair bonus? am I missing somthing.
You don't use these? Crank up a few, start turning out ships. They may be slower than planetary ship yards, but sometimes you need all the help you can get.

2) Does the AI ever develop phased shields?
Yup. Don't ask me when though, it would vary from AI to AI.

3)I fire missles at planets... lots of missles. They all seem to miss, even when im in range, Besides killing crewmen, how do I solve this?
Missiles do NOT miss. Ever. There are two things that can stop them:
1. getting shot down
2. the enemy moves out of range
Now, I doubt either of these is happening.. so are you sure they aren't doing damage? They probably just aren't playing the hit effect.

4) just what do the fleet and ship bonuses apply to? do they both apply at the same time?
Same time, and to your attack/defense. So 5% experience for a ship means a 5% attack bonus AND a 5% defensive bonus. Add a 5% fleet bonus and that total hits 10%. This is on top of any combat sensor or ECM bonus you may have.

5) just how do I build a ringworld? multiple ships for all the plating?
Correct. You need to build mobile spaceyards and then build the proper bases in the same sector as the star.
