Notes

  • refueling happens after movement and before battle
  • If you see a packet will hit your planet next turn and you don't have a freighter already in orbit, there is nothing you can do; the packet will hit before you can build a mass driver or defenses and before you can get any freighter there to move the pop.
  • If you plan on abandoning a planet to an ally by moving a freighter to the planet with orders to Set Waypoint to 1(00) on the same turn that the ally moves a freighter to the planet with orders to Unload All, the ally will face your entire population, not just the 100 colonists you had intended (a very painful lesson).
  • Remote Terraformers are very effective against narrow-hab CAs since they terraform *after* the CA instaforms.
  • Since SD mine detonation occurs between fleet movement and production, the arriving enemy fleet can be damaged while the fleet that you produce that turn can enter combat undamaged.
  • If you intercept an enemy freighter going to meet the MT, you can prevent him from trading.
  • A fleet that you give away will still be yours until the end of combat (pre-"i" patch allowed waypoint 0 fleet transfers).
  • A fleet with a waypoint 0 load task in orbit around a planet that you don't own will not proceed to waypoint 1 (very painful Robber Baron lesson).
  • Note that fleet scrapping, remote mining and minelaying can only be carried out as waypoint zero tasks. This means that if a ship has orders to move, and then (eg)scrap itself at the destination, the (eg)scrapping will not take place until the next turn. Exceptions:

  • Smart bombing occurs after nomal/LBU bombing but before defences are taken down. This means smarts cannot get a 1 year kill even when combined, and are best used alone or not at all.
