onventional starts are considered to be advanced/hard mode while the TN start is the easier default mode.Personally, I found the TN start confusing and the Conventional start enlightening. Because I designed/built everything from the ground up, and dealt with only civilian ships at first etc., I was able to ease into most of the game mechanics.
ok i try to be more clearThat's correct. The project won't complete until May 30. If there was only 1 day's worth of research left on May 25, then on May 30 the first project will be finished and the next project queued for that team will have 4 day's worth of research applied. Interrupts are merely there so the human can take action - industrial activity is only calculated at an interrupt if more than 5 days (or whatever the cycle time is) have passed since the last time it was calculated.
so my research is said to finish on may 30
i finished a 5 day cycle at may 25
we take it as given, that my research rate is fixed - for this - so no changes to it
so you say i can have as many interupts as i like between may 25 and may 30 and its going to finish at my 30?
when you would have an interrupt at my 29 it would say its finishing at june4 (lets not play with hours of the day for now)- but its finishing at may 30?
i assume that all thouse interrupts before the minimum production cycle(5d) are lost for production/mining/research
im happy to be wrong here =)
hmm
but why is any build timer pushed back then? like say resarch finishing may 25.
now you get a stop after 4 days it moves to may 29?

i changed the production cycle to 86k secs now - that should be little below 1d - propably slowing the game turns alot too
but i have still seen alot of pushbacks for about 1d or so(and i had enough wealth)
5. task groups window(f12)
there are some traps here
A.
a few times i wanted to repeat some actions a lot like 150 times - thats no problem, but when you enter the numbers without deleting the old ones by mistake, you get a lot of repeats like 50150 - was 50 before new 150
this actually deadlocks the game, when you select this task group again - you can just kill the game and ignore the task group forever or absorb them with another task group. idk if it damages the database in anyway.
is it possible to catch large numbers? which would break the game.

oh i just remember salvaging some wrecks - the problem here was again that it can call a stop to time progression.
lets say you salvage youre lost grav/geo surveys(which have little return/value), you propably make a loss in minerals/time (you would produce more minerals in the time, which is lost to the time stoping event, cutting short the production cycle)
For #2 - what population are you starting with to have 200 conventional ground units? Even starting with a population of a billion, I only get something like a combined total of 60 or so units between LTA and LTI units.To be fair I have started with a population of 8 billion before, RPing a united earth.
Ground combat works with multiple units at a time. You generally won't see damage to every unit deployed every tick.
Ground unit production can be expanded by building more ground forces training facilities. Given production times of Trans-Newtonian units is fairly long, I don't think you really need to have a more expanded queue then increasing the training facilities.
I agree on point 6, by the way. Sensors are hugely expensive investments, well out of line with other components.
