I have a couple of questions
Question 1
I've designed and built an asteroid mining ship as I have found an asteroid with minerals. Do I just send the ship to an asteroid and it will start mining or do I have to give it specific orders?
Question 2
I decided to start a pre-newtonian empire. While I was able to research geological sensors, I have not yet been able to research gravitational sensors. Is there any research I have to do before being able to research gravitational sensors? I would really like to get a start on at least doing gravitational surveys of other star systems and building jump gates.
Apart from the above, really having fun just playing around and learning.
