New player struggling

Dracus,

Thanks for the reply, I've made a few observations, will make more when I have the chance to try them out.


<<You have to research constrution and then fighters/troops before you get them.>>

I will research construction next

<<First make sure you are loading them into a ship that contains sat launchers (not cargo holders)>>

Thanks you are the second person to say this, hadn't realised what Sat launchers were, will give it a try


<<for mining ships you can add panels once you research them.
Or you can build large sats and launch them to do the mining, Once again you need to research them.>>

Would a satelite with panels ever run out of supplies, if not this would seem ideal???


<<Yes, if the first system has been explored, then all you do is click the ship, click the system and click the far wp, you want to use.
You can go across as many systems as you want as long as all the systems you are crossing, can be viewed by you.>>

I think this is the mistake I made, tried that right at the beginning and it didn't work, probably because I hadn't been to the systems before, so I gave up never thought to try again, silly me!

<<you can in a way and there are mods that add B5 sets to the game.
It is best not to try modding, until you understand the game a little more, >>

Agreed I'll figure out the basic game before buggering around with it!
