after you've cleared out the reaver's are U able to mine with out having the tech or the resources to mine.

I get that but how do U even figure out how many system's  to use i.e. the ship space is 3030 do u just go I want 12 comps at 8 wt, 10 wea at 8 wt......... then when your finished you find the core's en!

in your tut you talk about subtracting the total weight of your systems. lets say that i want to spend 500,000. on a hull which has space of 3030 how do i know how much space to give each system that i'm going to use?

in this guide I got lost at the point where it talks about finding the right att to lower your cost. What is the base attack that is used to get the 15bil R the number of the initial att power doesn't matter i.e I can use att=1 with acu at 58% then use that cost to get my actual attack?

ok I'll keep playing and I'm sure something will click sooner or later

so in order for me to get a neb it has to be 20% of my total power. So I need to have a hugh fleet.

in the tut's is says that if you lose more then 20% of your fleet then you will hide in a nebula.  my entire fleet was knocked out by one person. do you only go into a nebula on the war server?
