Mixed Bag of Questions
I have only recently found this forum. I beg your indulgence in answering a few specific
questions that are bugging me, while I sort through all the existing material.
1. How does population fit into production? I understand that facilities extract resources,
and this production is modified by the planet's resource percentages. Presumably,
population also contributes to final output. This isn't explained in the manual, as
far as I can see.
2. How do you take advantage of those traces of ancient civilizations that planets
sometimes have? In only one case can I remember ever getting a technological
breakthrough from that. Is there something specific I should be doing?
3. What's the deal with cloaking? Why would you ever not want to be cloaked? What is the
disadvantage? Does cloaking help in tactical combat, or just on the strategic level? I seem
to get cloaked ships shot at all the time.
4. I really wish one could assign ships in a fleet to permanent "Groups," like squadrons.
At the beginning of each battle, I have to sort through all the ships and group the
missile ships together, the carriers, the beam ships, etc. Even so, ships don't keep
in formation. Sometimes they just seem to wander all over the place, no matter what
the group leader is doing. Why is this?
5. It would be nice if I could change the strategy as well as the Groups at the tactical
level. Strategy depends on the force you're attacking.
