Re: Understanding battle strategies...newbie question
In the left column, the lighted dot is the strategy which you are currently looking at the entries for; anything you change will only affect this strategy.
On the Firing tab, Do not use type priorties = unlit; Use type before targeting = lit (this is like a light switch that has On and Off written on it; whichever message is showing is active); under Don't fire on, types that are lit will be ignored when choosing targets.
On the Launching tab, the lit entry is how many fighters your carriers and planets will try to launch in one group.
On the Formation tab, the lit types will break formation, and the unlit types won't.
Many of the default settings on Strategies are Really Bad Ideas; changing them is one of the first things I do when I assign a strategy to a design.

Re: Understanding battle strategies...newbie question
Okay
Under the Damage tab we have a button called "Damage target until all weapons gone"
Which is the on/off state?

To which I ask "Same thing what?"
