[quote]maybe i'm doing something wrong but cant make a phase line between them. any help/mod info would be good.[/quote] I haven't done it in-game yet because I know there is some research criteria or probably the need for multiple worm holes, but when your creating the connector between your wormhole and where you want it to take you, you can change the Phase Lane to Wormhole (I think, sorry I'm at work right now but I remember seeing the option and it creates a blue line instead of th

[quote] Also I find myself using the heck out of the black market, I agree with the Gamma suggestions about somehow getting the buy/selling of resources on the mainscreen at all times. [/quote] I'm going to try and read up more on this tonight, but what exactly are you doing on the black market if you don't mind me asking?!? I opened the BM and Pirate screen and didn't have a clue what it all meant. I even tried bribing the pirates, but up

[quote] I'm getting owned hard, even after the tutorial. Where do you get a free capital ship? Because I start a game, build a captial ship factory, then don't see anything about a free ship, just see what they all cost, etc. I build the one that has the ability to colonize and by this time I'm out of credits soon enough.

Sins Manuals? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Where does one go for game manuals for the digital downloaded version of Sins? I've grasped most of the interface but I need more info on build progression, tech trees, shortcuts, etc. I'm finding some aspects to be very easy and others to be down right confusing. Even creating a galaxy (which is easy using Forge) I find that the Easy-Random AI opponents (including pirates) are TOUGH! So I think I'm just missing something and need more documentation. Can anyone point me to this - I'

[quote] Has anyone tried the Galaxy Forge Downloads link lately? I've looked all over the site and keep getting direct to the downloads page but that only has screenshots and wall paper on it. No Forge Tools or Map Editor. What gives?
