Here is a thread that deals with the weapons side of the tech tree.

ships in two turns,,, those where the days....

The idea of the space yards is to get as many as possible going ( say 2 to 5 above each planet and get them building ships and use your planets to build infa structure then units to defend them then ships or build the big ships quickly on planets ) and build up your economics... Also this places a resupply above every planet and adds alittle defence and if you have 50 planets you could potentionaly have 100 to 250 ship yards building every turn.... And don't forget to max out the population on your planets for the production bonus..
And if your building alot of stuff on a planet build a space yard first...this will shorten the build time.

hello are there anyone that know that link?

[cataclysm]

I just started to play Gold

I want to know, why do my anti-proton beams do 25 damage while the ones AIs have do 75? They are both at level IV

difficulty is medium and handicap is none in my game.

The AIs are probably using weapons mounts- these are for Light Cruiser class ships and above. Click the "weapon enchancement" button in the ship design screen to see mount options.

Mounts.

In the Ship creation window, you will see a little button at the Top right corner that says Weap Mounts.

Depending on the Mount: Large, Heavy, Massive,

The damage and the range of the weapon will vary.

Ship clases from Light cruiser and up and All Stations can use the mounts but Heavy mounts up from 800Kt, and Massive, 1100Kt.
