<t> the private sector doesn't build bases, all it will do is buy mining ships from your spaceport and send them out to get the resources.<br/> <br/> private sector will take over a mining base once the state builds it. they will also maintain and upgrade (if set on auto) that base.<br/> <br/> I hav...

Your medium and large spaceports should have at least the same number of labs as your small port does to prevent what corwin90 ran into.

You can also select multiple ships by holding the ctrl key when you click on each ship name in the ships and bases menu. Once you have the desired ships selected, you can assign them a new fleet or add them to an existing fleet.

<t> As a side note, I found out the hard way that you do NOT want to go to war with the faction/race that is currently repairing the World Destroyer.

<t> I prefer to keep a variety of weapons on all my ships. This way they can fire missiles while closing, torpedos at mid range, and close up weapons at close range.
