some newbie questions...

Actually in SE3, having more yards didn't speed up your build time on any one project.
SE3 would automatically distribute the purchased ships between the yards available and allow you to shift projects between them later. SE4 asks you to specify up front where you will build something.

if i download a race (ship graphics and stuff) and the description says "for Version 4.0" for example... it is for 4.0 or older; or 4.0 or newer? (i know, a stupid question, but i downloaded one and it gives errors)

That is for the Version of the ship set, not SE4. Ship sets made for non-Gold will generate errors when used in Gold because there are a number of new lines in the Gold Version in the AI files. You can fix them to be compatible with Gold by going into each of the mentioned files, and pasting the missing lines from the AI files of a default race. The AI files are located in Pictures\Races\Racename along with the ship set graphics.

and another one related to the forums... where can i configure it to show oldest replies first and Lastest replies bottom? I want to read older Posts, like the newbie faq there, but reading from bottom to top in annoing

Thx again[/QB]

There is no option to do that. After a while, the format will grow on you.

The "printer friendly view" (see bottom of page) will put the Posts in reverse order if you really can't stand the way things are at first.

Step-by-step instructions for converting pre-Gold AI files to Gold are linked in my sig.
