Hahaha, I actually had the exact same problem when I started. The names are confusing as hell. You have to progress step by step 1 at a time in the logistics tree. The button currently lighting up is the one you should research next,not the stage you are currently at. So click on it and you're good to go :).
I'm no expert at the game but I do have a bit of experience. These are just my 2cents so don't flame me if I'm wrong. Couple of things: Always build your cap factory first, first cap ship is free. You will always have 1 asteroid 1 jump away from your home planet. Your cap ship is sufficient to take that and most lightly guarded volcanoes, deserts, and ice planets alone. So move out, don't slowly mass your forces. Cap your planet, and always upgrade it immed

Bailknight great mod. Any chance you're a Gundam 00 fan? Those colony ship designs of yours look awfully like carriers in the new Gundam. Also, anyone know if it's possible to get this mod running for the visual effects, yet still play normal online matches?
The browser has nothing to do with it. The forums were slow as hell for me the few days after 1.03, and they went down once as well. They're now nice and snappy though!
THis isn't a balance change so I'm not sure if it goes here, but please please please overhaul the chat options? Something like a chat menu where you can click who you want to send messages to instead of the stupid tab system. Make enter = team chat by default and shift + enter = all chat by default as is the norm for 99% of the RPGs out there. Make ally chat and all chat different colors again. I can't tell between the two anymore. Color code the names when

This might come off as a whine post, but I just wanted to see if anyone shared my thoughts regarding this. Random spans on large maps aren't so big a deal, but random spawns on mirror maps are just garbage. I just played a game on doppelganger where I had the following in my system 1x pirate base 2x asteroid 1x empty magnetic cloud 1x desert planet 1x home terran planet 1x dead asteroid. Then... the guy who wins the game with returning armada, that's a
There's a problem with that fleet composition though, lrms and carriers are both countered by flak frigates and their equivalents. Your 2 ship fleet can be countered by 1 type of ship!

I appreciate complex strategy games, don't get me wrong, but is there anyone else besides me who's feeling utterly bewildered by the options? The tutorials are less than helpful, they only teach the very basic mechanics and don't even cover everything. As a newbie just enterring into SoaSE, it would be really great if I there was a place to just get information.
Hey! I'm pretty new to this game, so far I've played 5 games online and had my rear end handed to me all 5 times. I have the hang of the economy and the land grab phase of the game, usually I am leading in terms of economy but my fleet size is either equal or trails behind my opponents. So question, do you guys do both military research and civil research at the same time or just one or the other. And, what fleet compositions do you aim for. I was going for an A
Sup, I'm from Hong Kong as well haha. I actually just picked up the game from Sino, and my jaw nearly dropped at the 350 HKD price tag on this game. If there is an official retail release in Hong Kong at a cheaper price point, I'm going to cry.
