Frequently Asked Questions for Newbies

I think it's time for a inclusion round and update to the faq.

Will you do it Slick or should I?

(I can do it next week, have plenty of time, working night then. But you do it better (actually the truth!))

I know I have been posting a lot but right now, but I am actually in a real busy period. If you could do it, that would be great. Also, you do just fine with the updates. I was using MS Word, but for some reason the hypertext links were not copying properly and I had to edit them in this UBB editor after the fact.

I haven't had time to write up some of the recent discussions for inclusion, but one topic that must go in is the great idea of using minefield markers (CTRL-M) to alter the pathing of your ships in simultaneous movement. i.e. forcing ships to go over planets with resupply facilities, etc. If you could summarize that thread and find a good spot for that one, it would be great.

To all: Last call for inputs for next revision. See Ruatha for cut-off date, but get 'em in ASAFP

[edit: Oh, yea, one more thing, I was trying to find a standard format for questions and answers, as you can see in the file. I was using the format:

x.xx.x Q: question blah blah blah
A(name_of_the_guy_who_posted_the_answer): answer blah blah blah.

But if you come up with a better format, change it.]

Thanks!
Slick.
