Re: How do you know when you are a newbie?
Come on guys, this was suppose to be funny!!
These are some of the things I have done, and I'm pretty sure some of you have stories to add to this thread.
Or are you going to tell me that you never tried to recover a mine?

Re: How do you know when you are a newbie?
Yes I did but it was not one I placed there. An AI surrendered to me and I wanted to remove them for humanitarian reasons.
Took several turns and searching the forum to figure it out

Re: How do you know when you are a newbie?
How about sending in your Huge 20+ ship fleet to attack a planet. You end up with almost half your fleet gone and the planet still in enemy hands.
Why ?
Most of your fleet were sweepers or support ships with no wepons. They all took off for the corners leaving too few actual fighting ships to take over the planet or even knock out the defences. (which turned out to be WAY More than you expected.)

6- When you discover that transports have only half maintenance cost

They certainly do not in stock SE4. Some mods have maintenance bonuses on such vehicles, but stock does not. Only bases get maintenance bonuses in stock SE4. |

Re: How do you know when you are a newbie?
If you mean send population to a colony that has none, you need to load some population on a transport (any ship with cargo storage will do) and drop the population at the colony. You have to own the colony, though - you can't send population to an empty colony that someone else owns, for some reason. And you can't just dump population on a planet that NOBODY owns - that's what colony ships are for.
The spy button is located on the Empires window (click on the little white alien guy). It will be grayed out until you actually meet some other races.
