<t> Single ship gameplay was more of a thing in earlier versions where you could create super ships out of constructors. Now, with the stricter ship building limits, you can't create a big expensive broken ship to run around dominating the universe with and you'll typically need a fleet to ...

You can assassinate most characters (any except intelligence agents, I think) but the character needs to exist first. Not sure if you need to "discover" the location they're at before they become a valid target, though...

In my experience there is a roughly equal chance of setback or breakthrough, and if I remember right a project cannot get a setback once crash research has been initiated on it so you end up with a net gain of research in most cases.

Fastest way to learn is probably to play on expert settings (all manual) and looking up anything you're stuck with as needed. You can then put things you want on auto as you figure them out.

Does that option affect the AI empires or is it just there as a player handicap?

Put at least one on everything you plan to retrofit. Extra resources are stored on bases for retrofitting and if you don't have a cargohold I don't think it can retrofit at all.

Technocracy, obviously.

<t> I just ignore those planets now. I tried countless times to build a base there but it's destroyed before it's completed most of the time, and destroyed eventually even if it was completed. There doesn't seem to be a way to put ships there to kill it automatically in a reasonable time. I filled ...

<t> 1. Asteroids can be mined, though it's inefficient to do so. Only use them if you are in dire need of resources. "Hidden rock" is a scenic location you can build a resort at to get bonus income (maybe, resort income might not do anything right now)<br/>

This and logic suggests it would stack.

What logic? Because you can build more than one shouldn't automatically mean they have cumulative effects.

No I mean space cats since they're clearly described as Feline.

(I know they're given the "rodent" classification for some reason, I complained about it in the original release but I guess they didn't feel like changing it)

I like Zenox for the tech bonus and shields and, uh... space cats.
