Coupla SE5 burning questions

[Phoenix-D]

1. Not sure.

2. Custom layout. More details later.

3. They're the same. If you have, say, Tachyon sensors at range 2 level 5 and Basic at range 9 level 1, you'll scan at range 9 level 5.

4. Haven't tried.

5. It goes into the Great Beyond.

6. Skewed and roated as needed. Get SJ's Flag mod to make the flags smaller without affecting the useful par.

7. Yes. The make 500 supplies per turn and send it out to any ship in the system, plus some extra IIRC if you're at the actual planet.

For the system view, I prefer skewed, locked and zoomed out so that the top and bottom of the sector fits the view zone just right. Things are a little small, but at least you don't have to do any rotating around and you can still make out what's on the map. I've to say I really dislike the overall way the whole hex view works, though.

[Phoenix-D]

Its not the hex view so much as the systems being twice as wide as SE4's. It makes it a lot harder to get everything in view at the same time.

Regarding #2, there are no options in custom layout for "usage". Oversight?

[Phoenix-D]

So there isn't. I could have sworn there was. :/ Probably an oversight.

On 1- you don't lose construction time. When you replace the item at the front of the que, the time remaining will shoot up, but it'll go back down when that item returns to the front of the line.

Since you are testing…

Do you still lose the minerals, organics, and radioactives? Do you take a time penalty if the queue is in emergency build and you change projects?

[Fyron]

I'd imagine that not losing construction time means the resources remain spent.
