Frequently Asked Questions for Newbies

A possible correction:

4.4.9 I think "Space yards improve production." should really be stated as "Space yards improve construction." Tested this by scrapping a planetary space yard. No difference in production shown in the planetary window or Empire Status for that turn or the next.

EDIT: Another inaccuracy is the Last sentance in 4.7.2 as the construction rate for ships and bases is affected by population level.

"Production" refers to resource, research and intel production. "Construction" refers to SY rates. So, that should indeed be fixed. SE4 is consistent with how it uses those terms, so the FAQ should be too.

Actually, 4.7.2 is correct as is. It means that SYs on ships and bases are not affected by population. It should be worded more clearly though.

"The construction rates of space yards on ships and bases are not affected by population or happiness."

Ruatha: With your concurrence, I'll take care of the next update. I will include the fixes here, the latest strategy article by Stone Mill, some exerpts from the the forum I have been collecting since the Last update I did, and some new paragraphs I have been working on. Expect to get to it by the end of the upcoming weekend.

Quite right.

I didn't read it carefully enough.

Maybe something like "In contrast to planetary shipyards, the construction rates of shipyards built on ships & bases are unaffected by population level."

I haven't ever seen you mess things up. I wouldn't have put it that way, I just didn't want us to be stepping on each other's toes with the next update.

What is the range of boarding parties? If the number of boarders exceeds defenses, is the ship automatically captured? If not, do sensors and talisman help when attacking with boarding parties?
Thanks!
