Im pretty much brand new to the game and have just a few questions.
1) Why does the comp build bsy stations? for the repair bonus? am I missing somthing.
2) Does the AI ever develop phased shields?
3)I fire missles at planets... lots of missles. They all seem to miss, even when im in range, Besides killing crewmen, how do I solve this?
4) just what do the fleet and ship bonuses apply to? do they both apply at the same time?
5) just how do I build a ringworld? multiple ships for all the plating?
6) what is this multiplayer site I keep hearing about?
Thanx.. and happy to be playing!

A few answers:
1) Base ship yards can expand your production capabilities, especially early in the game.
2) It depends on the particular AI race. The races that come with the TDM modpack are better at developing higher tech stuff like phased shields than the stock races. If you are not familiar with the TDM modpack, it is a collection of player mods that improve the performance of the AI. The latest Version is 1.75 and you can find it in the scenario and mod section of the Shrapnel Games forums.
3) Missiles fired at a planet go to the upper left of the inner four squares of the 16 that make up the planet. The range is calculated to the closest point on the planet. If you fire a missile from maximum range, it will run out of movement before it hits the target square. Launch from at least a couple of squares closer to ensure a hit.
Others will have better answers than I can give to your other questions.
