We all know that scouting and gathering intel on the enemy is key to victory in Sins, but my scouting skills are a bit lacking. I usually build three or so at the very beginning and just set them on auto-explore. Later, when I finally notice that they've all been destroyed, I just build a few more and set them on auto-explore again, and repeat as necessary. These are probably not good scouting practices, so how do you guys do it? Do you manually manage all your scouts individually? Do

It's good to hear that it's getting changed. I guess that means I can stop trying to figure it out. [e digicons]:)[/e] Thanks for the information.

I just tried a few more things and encountered two instances where the trade line does not involve the planet with the first trade port. In the first, the first segment of the trade line is sometimes dropped to prevent the completion of a loop. In the second, I created a trade line five or six planets long and then placed one trade port on each planet on the map. The final trade line did not pass through any of the first six trade ports I built. This would imply that none of the conj

Thanks for the information. I've seen the articles/illustrated examples on soasewiki.com, and while they do provide a great breadth of information on the trading system, they still leave me with one question: what conditions govern the behavior of the trade line? Essentially, how does it decide to connect to the next trade port, and how does it decide on a path? I have observed that the line does not always continue on to the next trade port, even in my most simple tests. When attempt

Okay, so I know that spamming trade ports is often less productive than creating a solid trading chain. However, all of my experience with attempting to create these chains suggests that the line itself behaves rather erratically. I know the line may pass through UCGWs, and that these count as jumps in the bonus calculation. I have seen a line pass through two UCGWs to get to the next trade port on one occasion, but most of the time it seems unwilling to connect to a trade port that f
