[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="2" id="3103828"]Hope this helps. [/quote] It does thanks!!

I am unsure of how to proceed in my new game. Do I colonize any planet thats available or do i wait until I find good quality planets (eg.,PC 8+)? If I do choose quality, what is the minimum planet class I should colonize?

I am playing my game as the Terrans and lo and behold I have th option of building Hull Plating! How did I get that trade good...don"t remember specifically researching it!

What influences the amount of time it takes to build an improvement or ships on a planet?

thanks

I typically like to trade techs for techs that will take me longer than 8 weeks to complete...my problem is that when I am in the diplomacy screen I can’t remember which techs will take the longest time to develop so I have to go back to my tech screen and write this info out. As you can imagine that is a lot of note taking when you have 8 civs to trade with and you don't know what they h

I just lucked out with a tile for the 700% manufacturing bonus!! what exactly does a manufacturing bonus do [e digicons]:blush:[/e] ?

Sorry I didn't realize that my post had shown up in the other sub forum...my intention was to move it there but it did"t look like it had!

Been playing the game for a week now and in my latest game I have five planets colonized after a colony rush. These planets range from 5 to 8 class. What I am finding a bit overwhelming is what and when to build on the colonies. I take advantage of any bonus squares but after that I seem to build in response to needs. E.g. if my population is low I build the recruitment center if the planet has a lot of income I build an economic building. Also some of my planets don’t have nay bu

thank you!

Is there a way for me to see how much my population is growing per turn?

thx!!

How do you folks go about exploring the galaxy in an efficient and quick manner? I typically send out my "mother ship" to get anomalies but it gets sucked into wormholes and is all over the place...don't mind as its picking up stuff anyway. I build colony ships and use them to explore...I typically do this manually. But it seems pretty slow. I am playing on the large map.

Anybody have a list of the colors associated for each of the techs in the tech tree?

[quote who="Tolmekian" reply="3" id="3100954"]In Twilight, at least, there is a Summary button near the bottom right of the planetary improvement screen. Press it and you'll get a summary of what each of your improvements is doing and the total mp, tp, food, bonuses, etc.[/quote] Was that in the manual? just discovered that yesterday night!! Thanks.

thx!

Do the bonuses conferred by the planetary improvements stack? So if I build 2 traditional factories do I get 8 mp a week etc?

Thx!

Thx!

thanks...thats waht I thought.

I changed the ship colors when starting a new game...but I don't like them anymore. Is there a way to change the colors of my ships once game has started?

I created a bunch of ships tiny, small and medium in the ship designer and saved them. I only used the hull and extras no armor etc I can't find these ships in my saved game ship designer. Do I need to start a new game to use my own designs? Do i need to add the modules as I design the ships or can I add the modules during the game as they become available?

You will find it there under "Abilities".[/quote] Actually what I was wanting to know is if I can just stop researching a certain branch altogether. E.g., if i wanted to stop research in basic logistics could I do that? [quote who="Gaunathor" reply="1" id="3097956"]3. You mean change wha
