Try a medium size map 2 vs. 2, lock teams choose the hard AI for your partner and choose the easy AI for the opponents. You'll win, and you'll be learning at the same time. Then progess up to more difficult challenges.
That method worked for me although it did take a couple of tries. When you click on the create a new account button it should prompt you for a user ID, try a different one in case the one you tried is already in use, a password and then when you submit it should, if I recall right prompt you for the CD key which is the serial number you were sent in the email. Use copy and paste(clipboard) to get it right. If not, I think the server may be having some type of issue perhaps? :NOTSURE:
How about some new abilities like cloaking and cloaking detection. Could make things interesting like luring someone into believing a significant planet is unguarded and when they attack springing the defensive guard on them or move in cloaked on an enemy and then positioning yourself on them with a large opening volley. Devestating. :HOT:
I'm assuming you know about and how to use SDC to manage your software. Is this so? If not you need to go to Stardock's main web page and locate their free download of SDC (Stardock Central).

But the first one on the left has alot more fire power and better offensive upgrades at the higher classes. Colonizing ships are cheap. Although they are easy targets, with a little planning and timing they work well for the actual colonizing. The
It's a matter of balance if you ask me. Don't forget to use the Black Market so you can keep making progress on military and economy tech research. Take on the pirates (that is don't bribe them to attack the opponent early on) for the easy capital ship experience points during the early game. Choose your first Capital ship wisely. The one all the way on the left works well since it has strong offense. Then research the military techs that boost it. That should get you started. To
Yep so far I finished 2 games. One small the other medium and against the weak AI. I will eventually get the nerve to try the normal AI.
Beneath the Chevrons towards the bottom of the panel is a row of stars. [U]Those[/U] increase the number of ships in your fleet. The stars at the bottom work just like the Chevrons. The Chevrons increase the number of Capital ships and the Stars increase the total number of all ships(fleet size).
