SEV Gameplay tip request

Um. Nice warp point layout there.

Anyway, remember that in SEV space is measured in kilotons, like cargo. You're looking for facility space used and facility space total, on the colonies screen.

Thanks for the response. That's from a really long game I was doing a lot of clowning around in. Think I have 6-7 ringworlds in that one and I'm still ranked #2!

I see what you mean about using that view from the colonies screen. Doing it that way you have to double click the planet, then select the queues crane from the orders menu in the lower right (which has a bug I discovered in that it blanks out if I minimize the game and then go back to it).
It would require less clicks to have that facilities view filter in the construction queues menu. Not sure if I'm making myself clear in what I'm trying to do.

No no, I ment you use those two as part of your custom layout. I found those two on the list of colonies, I didn't look on the construction screen.

Got it Tim. Thanks! Is there a way to temporarily disable hotkeys? I was trying to name a Trade Treaty, well Trade Treaty, and the tutorial window keeps popping up and down. I'd suspect this could interfer with ship & planet names with T's in them??

Yes, you can change it so that you have nothing, just the name, or the full description.

OK, I looked under empire options and don't see it, where do I go to disable hotkeys? Thanks for the help!

[tmcc]

Go to the main menu at the top left and select options, then scroll down to 'help text' and select the option you wish.

Also, in SEV you can create custome layouts. I have not tried to create this layout yet though.

I took the tutorial and read most of the itty bitty print in the manual but don't recall seeing how to do that?!
