Would it be possible for someone to post up like a newbie guy on playing this game? I feel a bit lost when starting it up and sort of press buttons, pass a few turns then realise I've hosed myself over somehow and close the game.

Finally getting a grip on this game which is really cool and it's beginning to make sense. The interface isn't so bad when you get used to it, it's just... horrendously ugly.

That said, the explosion on the floating station I encountered was incredibly weak.

How do I repair fleets guys? I've got a few battered survey fleets and I'm trying to figure out how to rep them up.

Also my first game is plagued by Haunt of Spectres, aaaaagh.

Good to see that the old tactic of sending Hiver gate fleets at enemy worlds and then hot dropping poo poo loads of stuff at them seems to work.

How do I rebase fleets guys? I can't quite figure it out. I can patrol, but the relocate option doesn't seem to do anything.

e: can someone explain the retrofit for me? does it refit existing ships, or just update the design for new ones?

Sweet, cheers mate. Another question, do you guys use the camel modules and stuff? I read an intro guide that said to cram them on at all given times, so I'm doing that, but I have no idea admittedly what they do.

Korak, there are a few intro guides posted a few pages back, but admittedly I find its a case of bumbling about until you figure it out.

Holy crap, my prototype dreadnought is going to cost me $3m? Jesus.

Yeah, prototyping is ridiculous, how the hell do you afford prototyping Leviathans?

Do Hivers get an increased supply/allowance for Admirals? Or do Gate Fleets once set up no longer require Admirals to function?

What is up with the current thread title? is that a Loa quote or something?
