Thanks This answered my question but brought up an other one. - laying mines. I picked up explosive mines with my transport wanting to drop it of near the wormhole. I jettison them - I believe I destroyed them - right? So Can I lay mines with a Transport or do I need a Mine layer to do it?
Thanks again for helping me out

You have to have a mine layer component on the ship to lay mines. The number and level of the mine layer component/s will determine how many mines you can lay per turn.

Actually all Mine Layer components "Can lay mines in space at the rate of 2 per game turn".
Only the storage capicity increases per Mine Layer component upgrade.
If you want 10 mines launched per turn, you need 5 Mine Layer components.

You may want to repost this here : http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...;f=23;t=008657

Don't think it was mentioned before

You have to research satellites and then include a satellite laying component on a ship to lay satellites.

You also have to research Gas and Ice colonization before you can colonize these type planets. You only get 1 colony Tech at game start - the one that matches your races type.

Not true. You always start with the tech to design, lanch, and lay small satilites. Look for the "Satelite Bay" component.
