Some questions to the beta-guys and the community

[Jochen Schmidt]

Hi all,

i�m impressed about the style of this forum. The Last time i had this good feeling to be in a community of a game was at Big Time Software and their Combat Mission game.

Thanks a lot for your answers and the following discussion. I will be concentrated to mistakes i encounter and will mail them to you (M�nchhausen).

Btw, a another question - is it possible to "steal" technology (higher levels than my own techs) by conquering an enemy planet?

Looking forward to your answer!

Greetings from Germany

You do not automatically gain technology for capturing/converting an enemy planet. This is the same with gaining an enemy ship, it is not until you analyze a ship that you gain any tech. I can not recall if you can analyze a facility to gain tech that way. Does any one else know?
You do however, gain tech if the enemy surrenders to you.

You can also steal technology with an Intelligence operation.

Currently, you cannot get tech by capturing a planet, even if the planet you capture has tech (buildings or structures ) that are more advanced than yours. I don't know it they intend to change that or not.
