new questions:

I suppose that the shields dont cumulate in a group. Like a fighter group, you dont have to bring down all the shields of all fighters before killing one?

Does the damage carry over on another fighter when a weapon destroy one?

Shields on units do not count as shield damage points liek on a normal ship. They are counted as hitpoints.

Use waypoints to have ships built at your spaceyards automatically move to the front line resupply depots/staging area.

You set waypoints on the Empires screen and then when you are in the construction window there is a set move to button on the lower right of the screen. Click that button and what waypoint and all new ships produced at that construction yard will automatically move to the set waypoint. You must be careful with this feature. I have forgotten that it was set and built colony ships that then have to be sent back to load population before going on.

Cool! Thanks! hehe, sometimes i think, maybe i should read the manual . . . but then i realize, "but how would I annoy everyone if my questions were already answered???"

about WP : I use them, but how to delete them?

about units : is it true that one combat scanner is sufficient on a platform to give all platforms a bonus to attack?
