Thank you for your help! But now I have a couple of new questions.

1. Can you repair ships while in combat?

2. If I've used the "Resolve combat" order, but change my mind, is there any way to stop the computer from finishing the combat?

3. Can I choose to upgrade the facilities on just a couple of planets instead of on all of them?

4. When I use intelligence, what's the difference between the different levels? And is there any reason why I shouldn't have an intelligence program running all the time?

5. What are the space storms for? Why would you want to make them yourself? To me they are just obstacles.

6. Can you find things on planets when you colonize them? Some of the planets have descriptions like "The final resting place of two ancient races", which makes me think that you might.
