Questions

[Riggertrigger]

Hello i bought this game because i like Spaz and Starsector now i have some questions.
How i get rid of those giant solar farms i created and that are now produced by my stations?
How do i can claim a Sector (Pixel on map) for my faction color and what means a black sector on the map?
What i have do to to support my faction so it can expand?
Can i copy ship designs from npcs to my own designs?
How do i deliver ressources to a station when i have a factory attached?
Is flying through a Wormhole like starting a new map?

Thanks for helping.

Wait... did you just buy this game earlier today? For $30?

[Riggertrigger]

''How do i deliver ressources to a station when i have a factory attached?''

I'm also looking for an answer to this.

Fly close to it, after taking the factory off (I watch a lot of Reassembly videos). Otherwise, just build ships and release them from your fleet.

Thanks for the answer. It's inconvenient though, you'd think a key could simply be assigned.

1) You can't, unless the ship/station you made them on is destroyed. They'll stay where they are and just produce resources infinitely. Not really a negative in anyway.
2) To claim a sector you need to kill/push every enemy out of that square on the map and have your own ships inside of it, so plan ahead on what territories to take, as if you take a square near enemy territory, they will recap and back-cap you.
3) To support your faction, make sure you're delivering resources to your stations and that you place stations near valid resource harvesting areas, because the ships they produce will then harvest the resources an repeat the cycle. You can also create a cheap factory ship that will often travel and spread your faction about. Also make sure you support the front lines and respond to enemy attacks quickly.
4) As long as they're YOUR faction, you can enter command mode, which is tab, hover over the ship and then press 3, then alt+click and drag the ship onto your fleet pallette.
5) This one has already been answered, but what I do is create a ship specifically designed to carry resources, like a cargo/freighter vessel and ferry resources when I'm not fighting, then switch to my factory capable warships when attacking enemy territory.
6) Yes exactly, it creates a random map and populates it with factions/player's ships. The more wormholes you enter, the harder the game gets and the harder the agents are.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the answers! To point 3) how can i create Stations and place them?

[Darenkel]

Don't put thrusters/boosters on them.

[Riggertrigger]

So i design a station ship with a factory produce it and release it in the command view. Man thats really game depth.

also the designs in your fleet screen will be produced by your factions stations, in other words all you need do is make the design and it will be produced by your stations and factory ships I suppose they do it on necessity. it isnt necessary to arm your resource collecting ships either perhaps just add a thick hull and some shields just as long as it is relatively inexpensive to make them.
