Design: manual upgrade

If I upgrade one of more designs manually, they are marked in orage.

Will any new build order then automatically be made in the new design, instead of the old?

How to successfully protect your mining ships?

<t> The situation is this:<br/>
<br/>
I'm still early in the game, the pirates (or beats) keep attacking my mining ships, I send my fleet after them, and like like 40% of the situations they arrive in time and deal with it.<br/>
<br/>
But I can't manage to defend all my mining facilities..<br ...

RE: If you could give 10 tips to new players, what would it be?

so basicly its best to manually really explore with your ships, and see what's around :)

is there a way to make the game pause after they finished their mission?

RE: Colonization near home planet

do the exploration ships also look for ancient ships when you tell them to 'explore a vertain system' ?

or do they stop when they have visited all planets?

If you could give 10 tips to new players, what would it be?

<t> I've been reading a lot on the forums, and getting increasingly puzzled to what to do first when I start a new empire.<br/>
<br/>
Automation off, redesign ships immediately or not? manually explore, ...<br/>
<br/>
So my question is simple, for all the more experienced players:<br/>

RE: Colonization near home planet

Thanks a lot for the replies, this will help a lot.

I was playing as humans, so that might explain the remote planets.

Also i had lots of exploration ships, but all on automation.. Gonna change that as well :-)

Colonization near home planet

<t> From what Ive seen, the AI seems to colonize a lot of planets near their home planet, but for myself, my exploration ships took very long to find planets, and when they did, it was almost always pretty remote, giving me a hard time protecting everything..<br/>
<br/>
Am I doing something wrong ...

RE: Repairing ships: takes very long?

Repairing ships: takes very long?

I've found what seems to be an old fleet, so I assigned 2 contructions ships to repair the ships.

Both have been repairing a ship for several years now, I gues this isn't normal?

What can I do to speed up?

Thanks!
