Hmmm... I'm not sick. At least not with a cold.

You can say sometimes I have the "Blues" lately. But then, I just spend a little time in "Heartbreak Hotel," Baby. Shake-it-up!

Paragraphs 4.4.7 and 12.1 have the same purpose- riots. IMO it is better to incorporate all info about them in one place and place references when needed smth like this:

4.4.7. Rioting Planets do not construct anything, as the construction queue will display "Never." To resolve Rioting see '12.1 Riots & Riot Control'

Yes. There are a few places with redundant information, but in this complex game, sometimes it is hard to keep the info only (or all) in 1 place because of how the aspects of the game are inter-related. Sometimes it is just cleaner to be slightly redundant so that the reader is not jumping around all over the place chasing paragraphs. In this case, you are right in that there is room for improvement and I'll see about making those two sections less redundant like you suggest for the next update. Thanks for the input.

Mini update:
-- added a new paragraph under Waypoints
-- fixed a quote attributed to the wrong person
-- sections 4.4.7 and 12.1 now reference each other. This redundancy still needs some work - for the next major revision.

Thanks.

"Don't wait to long to research medical bays".
I still haven't had any use fo rthem. I can see that they can be good to have when you need them, but there are other things I think are more important, i e computers (System wide enhancements).

Good to see you at it!

The following arguably are contradictory:

2.10.2 Ships do retain original strategies after being retrofitted or captured - you can overcome this by making a 1-ship fleet and giving it new fleet orders.

2.10.6 Captured enemy ships use the ship strategy decided by the original creator of that ship. He may change that ship types strategy at any time and it will affect your ship. To stop this retrofit the ship to a design of your own.

Are we to assume that original strategies are retained for retrofitted ships EXCEPT for captured ships that are retrofitted?
