thank you, you're awesome that helps me out a lot

So if I waste several sets of 10 turns clicking "scan" on someone's space station I might come up with extra information that didn't show previously?

that's pretty useless since I can't tell what I can afford if the ship turns out to be USELESS

I need to know what REASONABLE values are, so I'm not always undershooting or overshooting

the post at the bottom gives me great info on shields and computers but still leaves me with no knowledge on what reasonable ATTACK power values are...

When you scan an enemy installation like a space station or the like, I get simply ???? for everything...what tech allows me to actually see information instead of just wasting turns??

Hah, thank you!

Now if someone could tell me a reasonable value for Attack Power to start off with on a design I'd be able to build a super ship ;)

I've cloned another persons ship using Gold to see what their design is like to get an idea of the design system.

I've encountered something I cannot figure out myself, and am hoping someone can explain.

The ship has NO Armour module whatsoever, yet it has several million Hitpoints...why is this? How can I tell how many HP a ship will have if I don't give it armour, or is it simply not displaying the armour module for some strange reason?

Stats are:
Attack Defence Hitpoints Crew Level
 1.068.869   0   3.234.723   Rookie 
 
Attack accuracy Absorb Power SP Power AP Power
 65 %    47%    00%    00%

I don't know what SP and AP power are either, they don't seem to exist when designing and are always 0 for everything...
