If you'd point them out, that sure would be helpful. Also, not all of the contributers (contributors?) has English as a first language.

have?

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Besides, you asked us to point them out. Oh, you just meant in the FAQ?

Ouch. I sure asked for that one. Geo, your aim is pretty good too.

I've been using the FAQ on SE.net as it has HTML links. Is this FAQ also being updated to mirror the changes on this forum??

Thanks!

No. It is several Versions out of date. The guy that was updating it has become rather busy as of late.

There isnt going to be any more SE4 patches - therefore the FAQ should recieve one Last upgrade - then when the SE5 demo comes out you could generate a new one for the next Version.

From another thread. For next update.

At least #1 is simple. Construction queues (F7), select Rate. Click on Rate, then Construction to sort: non-building colonies are listed first, starting with highest production rate (i.e. usually those on emergency) on top.

Having the same #2 problem (haven't we all? ) I usually design a few units named like "* upgrade *" or "* build ship now *" etc. Inserting them into the queue at the appropriate places alerts me to take action whenever I see an item starting with "*" in the queue. And they are listed first if you select sort by Construction, so it is easy to check it.
