Default Strategy guide?

Ok, I've seen the tips compiled over at Hyperion, however, I'm wondering if there is a newbies strategy guide somewhere? The manual, CD html docs, and tutorial are sorely lacking. I have very little experience in these types of games recently so I need a bit more do this first and this next and this next and so on then others.

Why did I get this game if I have so little experience? Well, years ago I was so completely addicted to Stars! that I flunked out of college.... But that was a long time ago... I'm all better now...

By the way, is this game far and away better than Stars!??

Thanks,

Ken

I would suggest that you play a few games with somebody who is ok but not great, somebody like.......ME. Also I suggest that you join the SE Battle Arena(which can be found at http://pub48.ezboard.com/seba78591 ) where you can play SE4 to your hearts content without having any egos flung around or territory lost or any other Barbara Streisand. You can just PLAY for the fun of it there, I am in SEBA and enjoy it immensly. If you want to do a more RP-based SE4 game go join Galactic Enmpires which can be found at http://se4galaxy.cjb.net under the Galactic Empires Section.

The SEBA link you posted doesn't work.

Assume you have a 1kg squirrel
E=mc^2
E=1kg(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.
Fear the squirrel.

Well, I guess no one has really written any kind of strategy guide. I considered but the scale of such an undertaking is vast. Plus as the patches come out the guide would have to be edited.

Hey Spoo:
The formula you use in your sig is Einstein's famous formula. However, you're using it for two different things:
Nuclear Energy released by a mass
Kinetic Energy by a moving mass
I think thats two different things. It is energy, but it might not work the way you have it. (Unless I am forgetting some theorem from physics)
