Communication?

[Hyfrydle (OP)]

I read alot of posts on this forum refering to ingame communication i.e. getting info back to the homworld. Do people roleplay this or is there some ingame info I'm missing. Also what about some roleplay tips I know some people play multiple civilisations how does this work and how are such games set-up.

Information delays are completely roleplayed in all cases except downloaded tech information from salvage ships, as for playing multiple empires, you need to be able to remember what each empire knows and what they don't. Setting them up involves the use of spacemaster, which allows you to gen an empire on a wrold on the F9 screen.
