Well I already learned everything in the newbie FAQ long before it was made. I am not a newbie, so me answering this poll does not seem very productive.

there's no such thing as nothing to learn for us. at least, if you read it, you'll know wether or not there was nothing to learn.

The FAQ did help, but the best lessons I was taught were the ones learned the hard way on PBW.

Read it several times, at least the ring world chapter. Still don't understand how to build one, anyway http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I drop in once a month and read it... To relearn stuff and just well to see what devious plans some has come up with and Ruatha has put it down in writting for future generations to read it and go. Damn... Never thought of that .... Its so simple it is a stroke of genius.

i know but the some of the TDM ai are not that far of so if i now grow to quick i would have the top 3 AI's against me and combined they have more ships than me so that's why i want to make i sure i super outproduce them before i attack. A lot of those DN are mothballed http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
That way i keep my score lower that it should be so i don't trigger the evil empire rule.

Anyway, the top performing ai's are Narn, United Flora and Cue Cappa. But after i have my 5 ringworlds, they are dead. I have 7 planet creators roaming around too. This is another reason why i'm not ready yet to go to war: i want most asteroid fields converted to planets and these planet creators are very expensive so i need the minerals from trade http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
I'll then mothball those and send in some sun destroyers (i have 2 mothballed and waiting).

Finishing this game will be a feast of total annihilation! wooohoooo
