Default Strategy Guide? This game is awesome but needs one

Let me state first off that I love this game and I have gotten two people to buy it just on my comments alone. But.....the game needs a strategy guide. There is just **too much** information to sort out and plan with based upon the poor documentation alone or coming to this board.

Perhaps there is a website dedicated to all the technologies and applications? Tactics or strategies?

Thanks for your assistance,

Bowden Russell

dude, if you want to compile ideas from playing and from arround the web and slap it into a paperback or even a bit of HTML on CD, I bet you could make a few bucks publishing it through Shrapnel. I dont think anyone would complain either, and this is the perfect place to advertise it. Kick MM some royalties on each copy, and everythings kosher.

theres enough people asking for one, and enough people on these Boards that are putting as much effort into mods and giving advice to others as it would take to make a consumer-ready strat guide.

Bowden Russell - agree with you entirely. This game will need an inch thick manual to adequately describe everything. I look forward to it becoming available....

I think I'm going to make an Online strategy guide. I'll have to get going on it.

I must admit, that there is a lot to learn about this game, espically detail things like weapons mounts and such. I had no idea that weapon mounts ment so much to the development of ships that it cost me early on. Now I do. Heck each time I play the game, I learn something new about it. I love it. I absolutely love it.

When you designing a new race to play and you choose home planet type, what do you prefer?

It is clear that the best pick would be Gas Giant home world. That's cause those planets are often huge and large size, and they are just as abundant as other planets.
