some questions

[Nibelung44 (OP)]

Hi,

How to scrap over a planet ships without creating a wreck? Basically I would like to get the most of them (minerals)

How to delete a ship class name?

You scrap ships in your Naval/Commercial ship yards to get the resources back.

You can delete a ship class if it has no ships left in the class in the Class Design screen. You might need to be in SM mode.

Thanks... I spoke of hull type sorry, not class of ships. I have no use for Russian hull names e.g

Another one, can I be screwed by using low value geo team, i.e they fail to find anything and so the planet is surveyed without good result? Should I stick with the best?

Additional minerals/increased accessibility are generated when the geoteam finds them, and higher skilled geoteams declare there is nothing left to find later than lower skilled ones, so its better to go with highly skilled ones. If you have a low skill geoteam drop them on some planet you're not actually serious about colonising to let them skill up.

AFAIK this can't be done in the game.

In the old days (before the latest round of geo survey team changes): yes.  I think 120 was the break point (but don't remember well) - above that it didn't matter but below that you could mess up the planet.  

Nowadays: I don't know.

Regarding geo survey team you find the new mechanic in 6.0 here...

It is pretty evident that the skill have nothing to do with the chance of finding minerals, it is only the time it will take to do the survey.
