Welcome to Soase Jgianettino, first suggestion is tutorial, when you are in the menu go into single player and you will see tutorial.  Also the best place to find answers and any kind of help is right here.

Again welcome and happy hunting.

Advice to getting the hang of the game

Try a small map maybe 3-4 player.  Place 1 easy AI on the opposite team and the others on your team.  You can use the friendly AI to keep the enemy AI off your tail.

No thats were I am at, althoug I started a new game doing good however next to my planet I have a astroid, it is all clear now, but how do I put my mtle and crsy, machines on them, i have tried everything i have, and my home planet will not let me send my construction friget there? stumped??

need to build either a colonizer captial ship (the first one is free) or a simple colonizer frigate to colonize other planets

Priceless

As it was already said you must colonize the planets.  When I am TEC I dont like to waste an ability on colonize when building the AKKAN.  Its simple to build a ....whateever its called colony frigate:), have it wait at your controlled planet and jump it over when its safe.  Then send it back home.  Construction ships cannot be built, cannot move to another planet.  When you upgrade your planet development you can get additional construction ships.

NOTE: ALL NOOBS RESEARCH your planet development to bring in more credits on each individual planet.

When you click on the planet its the green button, you can put your cursor over the 6 buttons and it will tell you what they do.  YOU DONT have to mvoe your capitol with each new planet.

Each planet/ roid is different, but once its fully upgraded thats it.  the Most important early stage part is the underdevlopment.  As you dont need to fill tact/log right away anyways.  Planet health and exploration are important however get your defenses up maybe click planet health up once.

The position of a research subject in the research tree already denotes how many labs are needed to research it (and in the case of ships and structures, maintain your ability to build them).

You could also simply mouse over each research subject and the infocard at the bottom right will tell you what is needed to begin research (number of labs, any prerequisite research, credit/metal/crystal required).

NO I know that already, but is there a book that shows all this information, I have the manual and the chart, but is there something with more detal, like a main book or manual you can buy, something like for SACRED or on of those type of games, also should I get the two exspnsion packs for this game, do they update any information on the first game if I do?

Ok I was going to try online for a while unitl I get use to the controls, Thanks

hmm suppose I should had been more specific...  sorry

DONT LOSE Planet or you have to re research
