How do you know when you are a newbie?

1- When you start colonizing the system next door, and in turn 80 you find out that your colonies have no population.

2- When you ask yourself who the hell is that guy with a 1930s hat that is telling you that your best ship have been blown out by some race you didn't even know existed.

3- When you expend half an hour trying to find the spy buttom.

4- When you conquer a tiny enemy planet with a mighty fleet, and then order your fleet to conquer the next closest planet, and when you are there you find out that your zillion troops were left behind back at the first planet.

5- When after being crushed by the AI, you restart a new game, this time with all technologies researched, and you say to the AI between your teeth "now I'm gonna kick your ***", and then design a Dreadnaught with the best technology avaliable and order its construction right away in your homeworld, but by turn 10 when your Dreadnaught is half built, a lowly enemy Escort comes and glass your homeworld.

6- When you discover that transports have only half maintenance cost and then send a troop transport loaded with fighters to raid an enemy system.

7- When you try to find out why your escort that is exploring 10 systems away from your closest resuply facility is moving only one little square per turn.

8- When you lose your patience trying to change the atmosphere of a Hydrogen Gas giant to None.

9- When you try to unmothball those expensive Battleships that you mothballed in orbit of a planet that only have 3 mineral mining facilities in it.

10- When you try to recover those mines that you just deployed at the wrong warp point.
