There isnt going to be any more SE4 patches - therefore the FAQ should recieve one Last upgrade - then when the SE5 demo comes out you could generate a new one for the next Version.

At least #1 is simple. Construction queues (F7), select Rate. Click on Rate, then Construction to sort: non-building colonies are listed first, starting with highest production rate (i.e. usually those on emergency) on top.

Having the same #2 problem (haven't we all? ) I usually design a few units named like "* upgrade *" or "* build ship now *" etc. Inserting them into the queue at the appropriate places alerts me to take action whenever I see an item starting with "*" in the queue. And they are listed first if you select sort by Construction, so it is easy to check it.

If you have two faciliites that convert in 2 years it still takes two years.

p.s. I'll edit for spelling.

Didnt you get it slick - there isnt going to be another patch. Space empires 5 in 1 - 2 years is the next installment - if one can keep the revenues coming in for Se4 - so go promote and get some new paying players.

Thanks Geo.

My wife came home and forced me to eat some pills, so I'm not feeling all that bad anymore, just feverish and about to die
