When I first arrive in the game, what do I do? How do I build a base?
Answer: You start in a random sector of space near an imperial starbase. There you can buy all kinds of ships. You start with a Vibz19 parked inside the station and 6.000 credits in your pocket. It can build all kinds of buildings both in space and on a planet. Then you might buy a small force of ships to escort your Vibz19. Now you have to land on a planet and start building mines and factorys. Then you find yourself a nice spot and builds a base. Then you build mines around the base structure and one or two factorys. A science lab is vital for researching new ships and other vehicles. Finally, you might want to build a few defensive turrets around the base. Then you build the first simple and cheap cargo unit, Veloce. With a few of thease you transport valuable resources such as Titane from your base to the Imperial station. There you sell the resources. Thatīs how you generate income.

How do I travel to another system?
Answer: First you need a ship that has a long enough hyperspace range for the distance between your location and the system you wish to visit. A standard resource hauling ship, like a Rocket, has a range of 40. It can usually get to a close by system without a problem. You select your Rocket, click on the map button, now you see the system you are in. You click the map button again, now you see the galaxy map. Then left click on the system you wish to send your Rocket to. The system map of that system appears. Now click anywhere on the map to send your Rocket there. There seems to be a bug which makes it impossible to send more than one Rocket at a time to another system. So please remember to select only one at the time or it will not work.
My base has only three resources when I need four, how can I build the advanced ships?
Answer: You build a few Rockets (or other resource carrying ships based on your tech level) and then you check what resources you need. Let us say that is this example you have Iron, Oil and Gaz in your base. It is a standard base with room for 200 units of resources and it if full. You also have some warehouses which contained thease resources as well. You need Titane and Cooper to build more advanced structures. However you need the old resources too. The deposits of Titane and Cooper are on the other side of the planet or on another planet. Now you send one Rocket to the Titane deposit, one Rocket to the Cooper deposit and one last rocket to the Base where you want Cooper and Titane added to your resources. Your two Rockets gets some Titane and Cooper and then flyes to the base too. You load all three of the rockets into the base. Then you take all the Iron oil and gaz in the base (not from the warehouses) and put it in the empty Rocket. Then you take 100 units of Cooper and 100 units of Titane from your two Rockets and put it in your base structure. Now you have (for example) a warehouse connected to your base which contains a 100 units of Iron and another two with 100 units of Oil and Gaz. And in the base you have 100 Titane and 100 Cooper. Just link your builder to the base and he can build structures that needs all of thease resources. Itīs very simple when you know how :).
Note: All IQīs concern the latest version of Mankind.
