Good recommendations, except the happiness which should be lowered to 51%.

Here I've been playing this game for almost 2 years, and I've never considered some of those points. Thanks, Fyron, I'll keep this in mind next time I create a new game.

Is there any easy way to figure out whether I need to give order to a ship without clicking on each ship to see if it has orders?

On the (F6) Ships list, click on the Orders button, then click on the Orders column header. This sorts the orders alphabetically, with ships without orders sorted as if the column said "None".

You can also use space to cycle through all ships not having orders. Very useful feature.

that and on the min max.... putting the points in advanced ship yard is debatable.

Nearly everything on there is debatable Tesco.

Except things like 110 maintenance reduction is a must have minimum... playing with anything lower is just silly.

Hey, Fyron, I checked out that link. As I stated earlier, I read it and found it very informative. However, I d/l that file that you had a link to at the end, and now when I tried to open it, I can't read it. It's a .emp file, and I have no idea what program I'd have to use to read it. What do I need to read it?
