<t> After all, you don't get XP for hitting shutdown titans, or for dodging when not in danger of being shot at, etc.<br/>
Jocks can practice crouching and standing during training, just like shooting at immobile targets - and they don't get XP for that.<br/>
<br/>
As for healing, maybe only for ...

<t> The Survey Ship's only advantage is the extended scan range.<br/>
Giving it the ability to get intel on colonies would have been too much IMO, especially coupled with the tech that allows movement to empty sectors. The defender just wouldn't be able to defend against such probing actions.<br ...

Survey ships and scouts do survey planets, but from orbit. They'll detect the system specials if any - which other ships don't. In Supernova, of course, as in Armada there's no system specials.

In the vanilla game, you have to orbit the colony in order to get intel on it. In Supernova, there are some new techs that allow you to use your colonies' scanners to scan other colonies from afar. Ships do not allow you to scan colonies from afar, they'll only detect fleets.

<r> A couple of issues more:<br/>
<br/>
A titan without both arms can still fire weapons mounted in the head. It shouldn't be able to lift its head up enough to fire, especially when on its back.<br/>

<t> Not sure what you mean by turn replay. There is a sort of turn report, with the Message List display. There you can check the battles you were involved in the last turn. It's easy to identify the battles you won and the ones you lost. By checking the ones you lost, you should be able to know of ...

<t> Yeah, last time I checked it was 22-23 squares.<br/>
<br/>
Make sure the trade route will be profitable. No use in setting it up and then lose money.<br/>
For Gems, Artifacts and Tourism the importing colony's pop is what counts, so make sure you have very populated colonies in the vicinity ...

<t> Looking at the starmap you can see your trade routes. If you hover the mouse over them, they'll tell you what's being traded and the money they're generating. <br/>
You can also check each colony, under Income. Using the expander arrow you get a detailed description of all trading involving ...

Combat is RTS, and you do have some control over your ships.
This game is way better than GCII, there's really no comparison IMO. Supernova really made Armada shine.
And yes, there are troops and you can invade systems. Supernova added some troop types too.

I don't think one is planned, Neutron will be working on a new title next.

<t> It will try to maximize growth rate; meaning it will move pop to systems with high habitability - notice they might be poor though. <br/>
If you need to open build slots in a particular system, auto transport might not do that for you if that system does not have high habitability.<br/>
You ...

You have to research the Find Wormholes techs (Large -> Medium -> All). Then, to be able to use them, you have to research the Use Wormholes techs.

In the 12 Races scenario, yes, but in random maps they start with only 3 fleets.

(appears you can't build arks, at all).

Notice that in order to build any ark ship, you need at least 10 pop of your own race in the colony.

They do have some pop in their Base Ships, but that doesn't sound right. Aer you sure they were Unn?&nbsp;

Yeah, Earth seems to be just outside range from Argos, and Mycenae definetely is.

<t> Nim8or, nothing changed, it was always like that (no patch for SN yet, and SN is the expansion that introduced trade routes).<br/>
<br/>
TT, are the new colonies in range for trade? ~23/24 sectors. Were the routes not created at all, or were they created but are unused?<br/>

<t> Yeah, they really need to have lower upkeep for their ships and/or be able to capture ships from other players. <br/>
The Unn were given some love, but they still need some more.<br/>

One of the best space 4X ever made!

Races and ships can be modded by editing the XMLs. You can have these files in the Mods folder, and create a shortcut to run the modded game, without messing up the base game.
