'Heads-up'.. the link to the Un-Official Space Empires IV Strategy and Tactics Page.. (
http://home.earthlink.net/~petemmer/ ) in the faq is broken.

Cheers!

I think this:
5.7.10 Fleet experience is earned by an relatively obtuse formula.

should be changed to this:
5.7.10 For each kill made by a ship in a fleet, there is a 25% chance that the fleet gets 0.1% experience

Also current 5.7.4 could be changed to 5.7.4.1 and then added

5.7.4.2 Ships get a small amount of experience for seekers, fighters, drones and satellites, but none for troops and weapon platforms.

You should definitely replace the commas with plus signs to indicate that they add. As it is, it is somewhat vague.

FAQ entry 4.4.5.1 is incorrect. It is contradicted by FAQ entry 17.3.3, which is correct.

I.e., Happiness level has no effect on construction rate, unless it reaches the Rioting point.

FAQ entry 7.2.14 is incorrect. See 8.3.1, which is correct.

That is, troop losses in ground combat are applied left to right (against first-in troops, not against first-out troops).
