How do you transfer items from one fleet to another at the same planet?
How do you set a trade route that is bidirectional? (one planet gets trillium and the other gets food)
How do you set what the trade route actually trades?
What is the tech tree for all the things we can build on a planet?
How do you make your world increase tech level if you need worlds that have a higher level to advance? Do you need to invade a high tech world for that?

How do you transfer items from one fleet to another at the same planet?
In this version you cannot, unfortunately. If you happen to own the world you can transfer by going through the world. If you don't own the world then you cannot. Note, however, that if you attack a world all of your fleets will participate.

How do you set a trade route that is bidirectional? (one planet gets trillium and the other gets food)
You should just be able to import the opposite direction. [If it doesn't work, then it's a bug.]

How do you set what the trade route actually trades?
Right now you only have a choice of trading the stuff that the world produces. You can change the amount that it trades by clicking on the trade route. [Later versions will give you more options.]

What is the tech tree for all the things we can build on a planet?
I'll do a post on that.

How do you make your world increase tech level if you need worlds that have a higher level to advance? Do you need to invade a high tech world for that?
In practice, I'm discovering that it is hard. I will have to change the algorithms so that world increase in tech level in other ways. Try to get your world to trade with your capital, even if you set all the amounts to 0%.

Thanks for the response George :D
As for the bidirectional issue, can you please check? I might be just unused to the interface, but I can't seem to get my fringe planets to get resources from my homeworld...
:/

Judging by the response from #3 I guess that's because the homeworld produces nothing specific?
I'll check for fringe to fringe planet trade.

Yes, I bet that's what's going on: your homeworld does not technically produce anything (only what it needs to satisfy its demand) so you cannot export it. I think that should change in the future.

How can I attack a world with HEL cannons (most tech 4 and up)? What should I use?

How does planet population increase? I've only been able to conquer population poor planets and their output is very small :(

What are the requirements for trading? Why can't I make two tech level 4 planets trade with each other? (My guess is no spaceships?)
What are the different time scales? (watch, cycle, etc...)
What do air filters and radiation shields do?
How fast does efficiency go to 100%?
Do ships still need trillium to travel?

Yes I completely agree, a benevolent capital world should bring civilization to it's technologically challenged conquered colonies
(goods) especially if there are large stockpiles.

ok, I found out how to attack other fleets, but my attacks are always failing.
I have 1000 vanguards and 20 sirius class starships and I'm attacking a fleet of 97 vanguards.


[EDIT] The attack resulted in:
me losing with 1% casualties (27 vanguards)

In Anacreon, what do the percentages under structures mean?

When A player's capital/homeworld is taken over by another player what happens?
what happens when a player is completely conquered (all worlds taken) ?
Do we get a restart?

How can I improve the tech level of my empire (increase it from 7 to 8 or 9)?

When will this question be answered?

I have no way to reduce my defenses, but I volunteer my homeworld for target practice. Not like I can really retaliate anyway, though :mrgreen: and I don't mind being the lemming for testing needs...

Unfortunately, I seem to have forgotten what I recently renamed my homeworld, and I can't seem to get into my game at the moment with the dreaded ISE getting in the way consistently. I think it was "Free Target" but regardless it's in the extreme SE corner (far down far right) of the map.

Yay alphas! I refuse to get frustrated, participating in alpha testing has always been fun to me :D
