A couple of clarifications please

from Stardock Forums
1. What is the difference between manufacturing and production? For instance, there are some social projects that double each of those, but, what effect to they have? I assume that one of them helps speed up ship construction and the like? Does one help with the economic production?

2. What are the best ways to improve the economic output of your individual planets? Is it simply the social projects that add +10 economy, etc..?

3. Still a bit confused about "Influence" and how to spread that around. If my planet has +20 influence, what effect does that have? Is it just in that sector? Is a sector only the "square" that it's located in?

4. Also, I don't understand the governors and what they can do. Are they assigned galaxy wide..per planet? The interface on this is confusing.

thank you all for your time and help,

-J

Oh, and one more thing. Are elections a totally random thing? Is it completely based on morale(which would make sense). It seems that with my morale always hovering around 50%(due to overpopulation = low morale issue) i randomly win or lose elections.

Is there any way to satisfy most of the people most of the time? For example, I noticed that I was losing seats to the War Party. I didn't do anything and the next election they lost all of their seats to the Technologists. It's seemingly random stuff like this that makes this game a bit frustrating.

thanks,

From what i've heard the best way to deal with elections is just 'cheat' it. Lower taxes a month before election time, viola the people love you. Just raise them once its over with.

That does work for elections and I thought I was so smart when I saw that :) but keep in mind oppressive taxes lowers morale, which decreases population, which I think lowers taxes. Thus, your tax rate should rarely be high enough that you would have to lower it on the spur of the moment to win the election, IMHO.
