Updated the FAQ

[Roanon]

Sorry for posting on topic , but could someone please change the turn sequence in the FAQ to the correct one? Retrofit definitely comes before income, for example.

I think it is correct here:
http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...=009418#000000
... but this is not very convenient as it is not sticky and I have to search for it every time I want to look it up. Also, its not nice to noobs who might rely on the FAQ

Fixed. Thanks. Also added a few things and fixed a couple of mistakes.

Slick.

'Heads-up'.. the link to the Un-Official Space Empires IV Strategy and Tactics Page.. (

Cheers!

I think this:
5.7.10 Fleet experience is earned by an relatively obtuse formula.

should be changed to this:
5.7.10 For each kill made by a ship in a fleet, there is a 25% chance that the fleet gets 0.1% experience

Also current 5.7.4 could be changed to 5.7.4.1 and then added

5.7.4.2 Ships get a small amount of experience for seekers, fighters, drones and satellites, but none for troops and weapon platforms.

For next update...


Facility output:

You should definitely replace the commas with plus signs to indicate that they add. As it is, it is somewhat vague.
