What exactly is this thread??

I remember there already being a VERY extensive FAQ Last year?

Is this one just for gold or something? I would this a great many things could be culled from the previous FAQ.

No, it's just a duplication. This is not a 'unified' community, you know. We're just a mob of fans who clump and unclump in our own ways. When one 'clique' gets an idea they go ahead and carry it out even if someone else has already done it. Notice the over-lapping mods, 'Star Trek,' 'SciFi Crossover' with lots of Trek stuff included, TDM modpack with lots of Trek and B5 and other races, B5 specific mod, etc...

"No boundaries" could be the SE IV official motto.

Too bad. That always frustrates me.

Unity is the key...

These are the two longest threads that a search turned up:

FAQ...First 50 turns
Armor, Shields, and Damage (FAQ)

There's also:

Ok, that seems like a more strategic guide, this thread aims to answer questions as " Why don't my colonies build anything?" - "move population there!".

After all my play time, I just discovered something new.

Cloaked ships will not gain experience while at a planet with a ship and/or fleet training facility. You MUST decloak the ship to benefit from the training.

You can add this in where ever it fits.

1.2.6. On a construction queue, you can use the Fill Queue button to save Groups of construction orders for repeated use. Put the items you want in the queue, Fill Queue, Add Queue; name the set. Once a set of orders is saved, it can be selected with Fill Queue to add the set to the construction queue. If an item in saved set becomes obsolete, Fill Queue will produce an error message when you select that set, so you have to define a new set whenever you upgrade a design.
