Updated the FAQ

[Asmala]

I think this:
5.7.10 Fleet experience is earned by an relatively obtuse formula.

should be changed to this:
5.7.10 For each kill made by a ship in a fleet, there is a 25% chance that the fleet gets 0.1% experience

Also current 5.7.4 could be changed to 5.7.4.1 and then added

5.7.4.2 Ships get a small amount of experience for seekers, fighters, drones and satellites, but none for troops and weapon platforms.

You should definitely replace the commas with plus signs to indicate that they add. As it is, it is somewhat vague.

FAQ entry 4.4.5.1 is incorrect. It is contradicted by FAQ entry 17.3.3, which is correct.

I.e., Happiness level has no effect on construction rate, unless it reaches the Rioting point.

FAQ entry 7.2.14 is incorrect. See 8.3.1, which is correct.

That is, troop losses in ground combat are applied left to right (against first-in troops, not against first-out troops).

Thanks PvK. I'm letting the dust settle after the Last patch to make the (probably) Last update to the FAQ to incorporate the new things in this and some other threads as well as from v1.91.

You should probably have something in the FAQ about TCP/IP games. If it's there I missed it.

If I didn't have zero experience with TCP/IP games, I'd take a swing at it. I'd sure include it if someone were to write it. Wanna give us a short blurb about what the newbie needs to know?

Reproduction without modifiers. +1 for each percentage of Reproduction and +1 for each five percentages of Environmental resistance.
