I finished the wiki tutorial, but it just wasn't enough (surprisingly since it took me 5 days to finish). So i have a ton of questions to ask, which will double later as i play and come up with something else i cant figure out every 5 minutes.
1) I have a PDC, but made the mistake of giving it lasers....What should i do?
2) What does automated turns do? Someone told me if the computer wants to make several 5 second time increments, it would make them do that until the time period i wanted is up, but when i turned it on it just kept on skipping 5 minutes every second and in the event is said "last time increment 5 seconds" over and over.
3) How do jump points work (be specific)
4) How do i build ships? I have 4 shipyards but I can't figure out how to build anything.
Did you read the FAQ/Tutorials? If you did, you'd see a request to post new user questions like this in The Academy....
Some answers:
1) Two choices:
A) Live with it. Publicly execute your chief engineer
, then have his successor design a new PDC that will actually shoot stuff down and build it. (Note that refitting of PDCs seems to be broke - they're still the old class at the end of the refit. This can be fixed by using SM mode to either edit the original design after you've done the refit, or delete the old PDC and instant-OOB new ones.
B) Use SM mode to alter reality, as described above in the "This can be fixed by..."
2) See the tutorials.
3) I assume Steve covered this in the tutorials. If not, I know I made an initial post about it in the FAQ.
4) Tutorials.

ERIK/STEVE - Could someone please move this thread to The Academy?
