The only "trick" I know is that you can take advantage of how the sentry order works to set up some automatic actions.. For example, a group of fighters on sentry, with orders: refuel, move here, sentry, and repeat. They'll stand guard until they run low on supplies, resupply, and fly back to their original location, and go back into guard mode until they run low again.

Nothing particularly impressive but I was proud nonetheless. ^.^

Are you sure that this was not the natural place for the post, and it was only trying to get here?

HEY COOl. when setting up a small WP, and choosing a large mount, I noticed the little L on the direct fire weapons. Gee, now I don't have to wonder what kind of mount other WP have when looking at them in tactical combat and hunting the info down. du huh huh huh.

Not to be surpassed by me not noticing the "weapon mount" button when designing the large WP that I built 20+ of. with regular mount. That can't be retrofitted or recycled.
lol

Considering the original content dealt with a previously-acquired 60-planet pack for SE4 Classic, I doubt that was the case. However, I am not an expertly-trained text psychologist, and probably am not qualified to make such an assesment.

Krsqk:
It has nothing to do with psychology, but everything to do with metaphysics (of the philisophy kind, not the kind with aging hippies that get stoned all day long ).

Couslee:
You can jettison them into space to clear room for better platforms.

I know I can jettison them. AND, I think it is stupid that anything that is planet based can't be recycled. Period. (have ranted about that before).

That is part of the cost of them having no maintenance costs.
