A tech chart might come in handy.

In SEIV I always built 4 starbases on every WP that connected to enemy systems. 3 for defense and one for construction. I had fleets of warships protecting two construction ships, while two mine layers laid down the mine field. Once your finished you should have 1 defense base and the construction base. This way you can build more bases PLUS have great defense.

Add some cargo to the construction one and you have a fighter and mine construction facility as well.

I can't stand how they need both! Why oh why do I need supplies and ordinance to fire a weapon? What are the supplies for anyway? If a circuit card or ten are blowing out every time I fire guess what... I wouldn't have contracted to put that weapon in my ship!

You need stellar manipulation tech to open warp points (they aren't necessarily worm holes).

The supplies are for energy. Not all weapons fire bullets/missiles, which is what ordnance is supposed to represent.

oops..

alright, last question.
what do you need to open worm holes? I made a map and started my self out in a sealed off part of the universe so I'd only have to deal with one or two of them 14'ish AI's that want to kill me
