A couple of question on Intel: 1. Can I build up internal security points before I've met another major race? Before meeting any major races, the Intel screen in inaccessible but labour units can still be put to work generating intel points. 2. Having completed the special research project that gran...

For beam weapons only the range is modified by changing the type. The damage is fixed. Ahh, okay thanks. What's your thoughts on the IP cost being higher for a shorter ranged weapon? Once I've changed the weapon, it's impossible to get the ship back to an IP cost of 1298, even if I change back to a...

For example, unmodified Damnation class requires IP 1298. Unchanged.png If I downgrade the disruptor c...

When building in systems (structures, ships or troops), the resource needed can be provided by in system resources, trade route or distribution facility.

Is bombardment a different command to attack system?

Thanks.
