I guess you've figured out by now your "please answer" heading was unnecessary. Around here I think there is almost a contest to see who can answer a post fist. The best way to figure out this game is just play and ask questions. I've been playing for about a year now and I could type a couple pages on what I've learned in the Last month.

P.S. When you have to stare at the computer for 10 minutes to check the spelling of a common word (unnecessary) and then finally open Word and spell check it cause it still looks wrong it's time to go to bed. g'Night...

Whoops
When I said top 20 issues, I simply mis copied
"top 20 topics".
I am sorry I did not know that this really makes the difference for the devoted fan here.

When I wrote 'issue', it just meant the difficult situation for newbie..

Top 20 topics web page was really really helpful for me.

It has nothing to do with being a fan. It is more of how the english language works. When dealing with computers and computer games, "issues" connotes problems with the game itself, not thread topics, or topics of discussion.

I have tried to look at newbie thread but it was very difficult for me to find exact situation I am facing.

Use your browser's search function (typically ctrl + f) when viewing the thread to look for specific items.

I also attacked a planet and now my fleet and enemy's are on the planet. But to occupy the planet it seems ground troop is needed. I builed troop transporter but I dont know how to creat my army to make them on board

You need to research Construction, and then Troops. Then, you can build some ground troops with which to take the planets over. Planets with lots of population will have lots of militia that the Troops have to defeat, so you may need a lot of Troops.

Now I am trying to attack my enemy and they positioned satellite at the warp point causing a lot of trouble to my "California" attack ship!
I looked at 20 topics web and it says something about point defense to protect your ship...
Hmm it makes me confused

Hmmm... the best thing about the Encyclopedia Malfadorica is when you go to "the satelites page" you'll see in big bold letters "point defense" ,among other links.

Click around, you'll get a whole picture eventually.

Unless we missed something important when we wrote the entry, if so, once you figure it out, feel free to edit it.

[EDIT] Did you notice you can click on the header and see what pages inclue it as a link. I can waste loads of time doing that over and over again. Wiki's full text search and fuzzy text search are fun to play with as well.
