Yet another newbie with questions.

[Rogue001]

I have a newbie questions for ya'll.

I am having a hard time keeping up with all the planets and where is what ship. Is there any way to print the quadrant map, and/or extract the planet information to a dbase file?

Some of them are. But others- some dissipate shields. Great to fight in if you don't have shields and your enemy does (also true of black hole systems). Some also HIDE your ships, as long as the enemy doesn't bring a sensor along. Free cloaking!

The only way I can think of is to do a screen capture and print that, although it would be more useful if you have a way to edit the image first (mostly to reverse the white text on black background to save ink).

The information in the (F4) Planets, (F5) Colonies, and (F6) Ships windows can be sorted by clicking on the column headings. I use that feature a lot to manage my empires.
