Well, thanks for the answers.

Um...
How can I research the carrier ship type? I didn't find it in the tech tree.

edit: Found it. "Advanced Fighters"

There are certain anomalies (black holes, Neutron Stars, Supernovae) that grant you research boosts. I got that.

If I enable the overlay to show me all the research locations, however, it highlights perfectly normal systems. Can someone explain this to me?

Just discovered that there is the possibility to name fleets! That's pretty cool and exactly what I searched for.

1. Oh, you have to scroll down...

2. Thanks!

1. There is a general forum? where?

2. It would help to keep my fleets organised. How do you keybind them?

When the AI handles my fleets, it creates Strikeforces. Is there any way I can do this, too?

Just downloaded Legends, will try it after dinner. Looking forward to it!

I will take a look at it. Looks very helpful!<br/>

So about 3-4 bases for every strategical resource?

Building mining stations manually sounds like a lot of work, though.

So, it's about having a lot of construction ships and letting the AI doing the rest? (Except for abandoned ships)

<t> The stuff about defense ships sounds reasonable. I had a huge pirate problem in my last game (although I found no bases o.O I wonder where they came from).<br/>

About construction ships... Reading through the forums they seem to be a big deal. What do you use them for? I only needed them ...

@Icemania Problem is: Apparently you can't scale down the map in RotS :\

You can only scale down the amount of stars, but I don't like big, empty galaxies.

I know that problem with research^^

I usually lose track of what happens as soon as midgame begins. Too much stuff happens at the same time, and as soon as I go to war I practically instantly lose. There's just no way to keep track of everything AND fight a war!

<t> Which parts of the game do you think are worth micromanaging, and which are not? And what are your tips to micromanage effectively?<br/>
<br/>
I (obviously) manage my ships and colonies (= what I build on them and what planets I colonize), also Research.<br/>
I'm going to try designing my own ...

Tendenziell lade ich erstmal keine Mods etc runter, bin grad im Urlaub und habe keine Chance auf Neuinstallation^^

Vielleicht schreibe ich mal den Codeforce support an.

I will, sooner or later.

I just bought the game a week ago, and it's 80€ for all expansions. That's a bit much^^

No, unfortunately it isn't. Thank you anyway.

Die sind Pleite, laut meiner Nachforschungen in diesen Foren.

All I can slide is the amount of stars...
