That change might have been made for AIs...

If it works for humans, just go add a minefield marker everywhere there might be mines.

I just learned this one the hard way.

4.3.8 Beware: If you have a planet on "Repeat Orders" and it has a Resource Converter, and you are playing a simulaneous game, when you give the order to convert resources, it will go into the "Repeat" queue and will be executed every turn until the order is cancelled.

Maybe I am mis-understanding this and being a complete computer N00bie, but wouldn't you get that .txt using the printer friendly Version of the thread? Just sent the print order to your HD instead of your printer. you could then edit out the irrelevant Posts leaving the FAQ in tact.

4.6.3 ...and the value of the planet or asteroids will drop exactly 1% per turn no matter how many mining components you have.

this is not true, perhaps it was fixed in the latest patch with the counter intel fix.

Possible worthy of note...
6.9.3.2 the effect the blockading enemy ships will have on the blockaded planet's happiness.

If your happiness settings includes some factor for a draw (defualt: Battle in Sector - Stalemate := 10), establishing a blockade may have a one turn negative impact on your empire as well.

Yes you are misunderstanding. I am talking about hypertext links. I have decided to leave them as links instead of importing the data.

6.8.4 (or wherever you see fit)

Attacking with Cloaked ships/fleets. You must first give the order to Decloak before an attack.
