The best honest advice I can give is to read the manual. You will figure out a way to play the game that fits your style.

I'm pretty sure that only applies to factories in the same gravity well.

Reply to Sins with the Steam overlay in Technical Sins Forums

Reply to Pirates: The Worst (or Best) Part of the Game? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Yeah, but how would the game work without Pirates eating up the majority of your resources, either through attrition or bribery? It's clear that Pirates are necessary, taking them out might as well be adding an "I win" button to the UI.

If you are such a veteran gamer, surely you realize that trolling the official forums one day after launch is not an efficient way to get your concerns addressed.

Reply to A must have interface improvement! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Totally unnecessary. Spend the 5 bucks on a mouse with a wheel, then, just put the cursor where you want to zoom to and flick the wheel forward. It's flawlessly smooth from 1 ship out to the whole galaxy, and back in.
