Anyone else a bit rubbish when Micro-ing there scouts? I am guessing it is just me then :(

Look into all the ways of increasing your economy and mining. This way you will easily beat the AI. For example you should upgrade your populations on your planets and asteroids as soon as you can as this quickly pays off in increased income.
Arseface420 Thankyou! Your reply was the most complete. I think I now completely understand capital sip experience.
When you are controling your scouts if you get distracted for a moment they can sit around just dieing. It would be nice to be able to set them to auto-flee when they lose shields for example. Then you can still micro them without having to watch them 100%
Pirate base would seem like a good place to power level new cap ships against nice weak ships. Has anyone tried this in online play?
How about if your cap ship does not attack anything but your other ships kill lots?
OK seems to be a bit of a discussion here anyone else want to chime in with an answer? If I want to power level a weak Cship can I just take it to pirates and then use a massive fleet to wipe out all the ships?
Capital ships we all love them however I was wondering how xp is assigned? 1) they only get xp for their own kills in a system 2) they get full xp for any ship killed in a system they are in even if it is by defences or other ships. 3) they get full xp for all kills they are involved in eg. ones where they have damaged the ships in question. I have noticed that if 2 C ships are on a target the xp is split 50/50 to each ship.
BTW works fine on my windows 2000 for Gamblers info.
[link="https://www.sinsofasolarempire.com/update.aspx"]https://www.sinsofasolarempire.com/update.aspx[/link] is much quicker and is not flaged thanks Stardock as ever you amasing :) off to play now!!!
OK seems that re downlaoding the whole thing is ok bit of a clumsy way to patch though :P
OK archiving did not work as this archived my 1.02 copy heh I think I may have to remove from stardock and re download the whole game and change the flag just to get 1.03. If I do this for each patch am not just wasting your bandwidth?
OK it seems you have to do the archive and re download for EACH update! and each time change the flag from NT5.1 to NT5.0. Really is a .1 change in windows that much? could you not just sneek the flag down one small 0.1? Please :) :)
Flaks have been nurfed so that carriers can be more effective!
QUOTE: [I]With regard to the 'can't attack unbuilt structures' item, why can other players even SEE the 'blueprint' of a 0% structure? It doesn't even exist, it's just a note on a clipboard somewhere. It shouldn't even be visible until a constructor drives over and starts building it, which would prevent the enemy magically knowing as soon as you order buildings exactly were they'll be once completed.

The button is just to the right of the NOW AVAILABLE sign at the top of this page in case you missed it.
LOL just press the buy now button and get it from Stardock even posting it from US only cost me ~£36 and would be even less if you just got the download only version!
I am in UK and just got the game from stardock's online store - I got the boxed set collectors edition cost about 70$ including packaging this worked out as about £36 cheap for a pc game shipped from America!
I have both - and both are good just get both!
Do you have to explore to 100% on each planet to find the artifacts or does 50% do the trick?
Ice is worthless? I am always after crystal heh! Also do you find exploring planets useful in online play?
As a test I tried out rushing for RA in offline (vs AI) it is much quicker than I thought! You only need 2 planets and a couple of asteroids and you off! Obv vs ai is very easy as even when set to aggressive hard they tend to be somewhat timid!
How do I mod this out?
@ jwdR1 Apparently if you have the boxed version you can run with Windows 2000. https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/?forumid=408&aid=176363 Perhaps this could be added to FAQ?
It is flagged so you can not install with stardock central if it detects you have win2k. I bought the game and then got a refund because of this.
