The planet type does NOTHING to affect the value. The length of the chain gives a value that EVERY trade port gets (regardless of if it is in the chain or not). The reason some planets are different is either 1) they have more then one port (they stack) or 2) there is a planet modifier that increases/decreases trade income

Also, just in case the OP missed it - Impulse allows you to take an archive of a version of the a program, so you can re-install it at that version later. Just note that the archive is OS specific unless you do certain options which I won't go into here - go learn about Impulse if you are that interested (I figure you aren't as you hate it, so I won't waste my time explaining in more detail)

It's not that they are undocumented as much as they are not made obvious in flashing lights.... I have seen ships, esp advent ones with shield restore going off die with shields still up to SC due to the phase missile upgrades - so nice to see the advent go boom...

If you see me on, you can ask. Just make sure you can beat unfair AIs before you try MP as MP is a lot harder and faster then SP (don't want to discourage you - just want to ensure you understand that people who are new to MP generally lose until they learn - which they do by reading the forums and playing MP....)

Yawn. This has been gone over a million times. It is in the T&Cs (manual) that Impulse is how patching is done. It allows Stardock to patch all their programs (not just Sins) using a common method. It also allows digital sales and authentication for getting patches. Build a bridge and get over it. It won't change and you are just cheating yourself by not getting Entrenchment...

There are some mesh files you need delete - can't remember what they were then (I assume you upgraded from a DVD install). If you uninstall and do a completely new install it fixes that - you are on 1.16 aren't you btw???

In vista, even if you ARE an admin, unless the User Access Control (UAC) is off, you still have to authorise the program to run, otherwise it doesn't get (for want of a better way of saying it) FULL admin.... UAC is a protection device in vista to stop programs running and installing etc... without the user knowing. I always have to authorise updates to Sins via Impulse (I also have to authorise Impulse updates too :))

Vista or XP. It needs admin rights to run, which is will ask you for in Vista, assuming you haven't turned that feature off I don't - I want to know if something wants to install on my machine!!!)

They have FIXED a HUGE amount of bugs that cause MP to crash (Mini-Dump). There was more then one bug that caused it, and there may be more then one still outstanding. It is impossible to prove a program is bug free, only that a bug exists... If you are having issues, send the mini-dump file to the iron clad support email address so they can look into it...

1) Make sure you are patched to the latest version (use Impulse) 2) To do INTERNET multi-player, click Ironclad Online (otherwise you will be trying to play a LAN game) 3) Create an account (you need to register) 4) Add a player to the account (you can have multiple players) 5) Select the player you wish to use and then join the ICO lobby (button is in bottom right hand corner) 6) Find a game and join it If you cannot get into ICO

But if they stopped them whispering, they would not be able to friend whisper while observing. That prevents them from finding out a game is starting via a friend broadcast, asking about it and deciding to stop observing and go and play... I've played a few Sins games with Whip on my team using TeamSpeak. It didn't do THAT much for us, but it didn't hurt. The main issue was we didn't communicate with the other team members as much as we were talking to each other while playing....
