Hi all
I bought the game yesterdays but I'm having difficulty building enough ships in the first few missions to defend and attack.
I have about 8 fighters and the capital ship but I can't build any more. Even when I colonies another planet I still can't build more ships. is this correct?
Thanks
Keith
you have to research fleetlogistics. Its in the resserchtree. The upper research is to build more capitals, the lower to build more ships. If you research for more ships, research only if you need more, because u will get taxes for every level...
when you say fleet logistics I am researching various types of frigates but I can only build 8 or so frigates. what's stopping me building more frigates?
Fleet Capacity. It is located on the research tree and can go up to 2000 (voiding special circumstances) whereas your current one is only 100 or so... That is why you are hitting that limit.
I had the same problem as you at first spacman. The fleet logistics trees are found by clicking the same research button you use to research frigates, but you click a a different tab on the left of the screen. Depending on if you're using vanilla, entrenchment, or diplomacy there are 3, 4, or 5 different tabs with different technologies in them. I think the fleet logistics is the very bottom one.
There's a type of research called "fleet supply" that increases the number of units you can build. However, it also reduces your income (permanently!) when you research it, so be careful not to do it too early or too often. The first upgrade is a simple 9% tax on all income, but when the last upgrade increases it to 75% of your income, leaving you with only a fraction of your gross income.
Have fun, and if you need any help or advice, feel free to ask!
