Wow...this is a great game! I've only started my 2nd game just Last night, but I have a few questions, and it's taking too long to read all 90 billion Posts to see if they've been asked.
1)What is a MOD exactly...and what are the pros and cons?
2)I'm interested in downloading some new ship graphics... where is a good source?
3)I'm terrible at invading planets...any pointers? So far, I've stuck to just wiping out enemy worlds and re-colonizing them.
4)Is there a simple way to print out the manual?
5)I've had to manually fight almost every battle, because the AI isn't very smart when I set it on 'auto.' Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for your time!
