That might be an AI led empire. As I recall there was one slot left according to Lomsor, so I think it is AI.
Negative. There was one left but it got filled up ā¦ there is someone ā¦ something out there in our galaxy ā¦
ā¦who will raise the mighty cornbread empire to a new golden ageā¦
Dun dun duuuuuuuun!
Get it? Cornbread? Golden age?

lol Whats wrong? Okay, so maybe the joke was a little cornyā¦
Okay, noob question, Do you get paid every 24 hours? Is that how this works?
oh gaaad weāre all going to die
Yes. When the production timer reaches 0. I think.
Well, as far as I understood the tutorials, yes.
/me brandishes newspaper 
Yes, once every 24 hours.
No need to get a crumby attitude over it.
Okay, thanks for clearing that up. I think Iām getting a hang this.
The famed newspaper, uh?
grab pop-corn and watch
If possible, try to upgrade economy right before Production time (so you keep the cash in reserve for urgent purchases) and industry right after (so it can begin creating ships immediately).
Which is right past midnight for me, so farewell good resolution to sleep early.

Thanks for the tips. Iāll heed them when I have cash again. I thought that for the first day, I had little to risk, so spent it all already. Plus now I have planets that require financial help to get goingā¦
Iāve also started my first looping carrier run. That should help with fleet buildup in case I get attacked.
Thanks, ThronEel.
So It doesnāt matter when you get the economy upgrades, as long as it is done before the 24 hr mark?
Looping carrier run? Does that pick up ships that were produced on the planets it is looping around?
Okay, so carriers can have multiple waypoints. For each of these you can set what it is supposed to do there under edit. Default is to always collect all ships. And then there is a looping button, meaning it will begin the run again once it is through. Looks like this:
Iām using it to ferry ships to my borders for now, especially as the new planets lack any construction installations yet. Though that one loop takes 34 hours, so it will still take a while.
EDIT: Hm, I probably should have hidden the sensitive informationā¦ oh well, good thing Iām not paranoid, right? Right?
I feel a cold war setting in. Hope it doesnāt heat up too soon.
Is there a reason for the 1h delay between each jump? Unless itās to synchronize your ships, you donāt need it for them to perform their action at each star.
About combat :
When there is a battle, each side (defender first) destroys its weapon level (+1 for the defender) of enemy ships, repeating until one side lost all its ships.
Unless you need the one ship that canāt be dropped out, carriers bring nothing special to a fight. If a carrier is brought to 0 ship in combat, it is destroyed.
Given that, there are quite a few conclusions Iāll let you draw by yourself 
I thought it might be nice for catching it should I require a manual flight. Might take it out sometime in the future, but for now it doesnāt matter.
@hrobertson: Bloodthirsty, are you? Youāll not get anywhere with that shipā¦
EDIT: So the first production round is done. I need more money! I wasnāt even able to buy the bare necessities this roundā¦ 
I think that you can order your ships around the hour they arrived - though it may be too short for you, and you should test it as Iām not 100% sure.
Aaaand now Lomsor cornered me and I have no stars to expand left. Well, this is going to be a fun game.
I think I sent it before you even captured that star. Canāt remember. Anyway, it wonāt do you any harm.
Iām not bloodthirsty at all. Iād rather we all just lived in peace but I donāt think thatās how this game works.
