Scott, I am trying to understand the economy. Looking at your diagram, where would the cost of mined resources fit? Each one has a cost.

I think the private sector pays for it - and because you are only interested in what the Private sector gives you - I don't think it matters (except in those rare instances when the private sector runs out of money).

Hi
Just as feedback... I tried your very nice guide and just had issues building the Interstellar Destroyers as they are to small for what you have placed in them unless you researched something that was not clearly shown in your guide or maybe something was changed with the patch?

regards and thanks for your work :)

Just a remark about your chart on page 52:

In game (1.0.8.0), all torpedos weapons have a shield bypass of -40%, but the chart says -25% into the torpedos "Dmg. vs Shields" row. AFAIU, this should be -40%, right?

Yes, all Torpedoes, except the final Quantum Shard, have a -40 Shield Bypass. The Final version is -30 shield bypass.

Scott this guide has really sped up my learning. One question: do you plan further updates? I note some of the Fleet behavior issues you’ve identified appear to have been corrected in later game updates.

Thanks much for all your work on this. I especially love the mechanics deep dive videos!

Thanks for the kind words.

I am currently working on a major update. There have been a lot of changes so it's taking some time. Possibly March 1st time frame.

There were more changes than I thought. Of at least my OCD is forcing me to write more. Still juggling a second job too. But I'm making progress. Thanks for asking.

Hello, I'm a big fan of your guide. When the new version is out, can i work on an integration of it in the galactopedia?
(I'm doing the french localisation and can to this to, because it's way easier to access it this way i think)
