Help a Noob!

#1
Hi! I joined this game a few days ago, and hooked! First of all, I want to thank Istalris, Witchywoman, Slash, and any others I've forgotten, for helping me get started. I have two questions: First, is there some kind of data sheet that explains what research/technology I need for different ships and defenses? Secondly, how do I get an avatar up here? I downloaded one, but I don't think I entered the format right in the options. Thanks!

It's called a signature. If you send an ingame PM to weresloth, I'm sure you will have one in no time. Then copy and paste it in the user control panel where it says edit signature. Kind of like you did with the avatar. :)

Dear lord. I hope you meant two systems away and not two galaxies. :shock:

Research Espionage Technology and buy some probes. ALWAYS probe before you raid, or you don't know what you're flying at. Try and stick to your local area too, a hundred systems either way of your planet is good. Cross galaxy raiding is quite a big no-no. :?

When people ask me plz because it's shorter than please, i feel inclined to respond no because it's shorter than yes...

Ok, in response to Slash, yes, it was 2 whole galaxies away. I was actually curious how long it would take. Next time (after I get my resources back up and build more SC's) I'll stick to my own galaxy...lol
In response to Istalris, I have 2 probes, and sent one out. it came back with resources only, no fleet data. And I'm on lvl 4 espionage, and I've read about the misleading reports, and I only sent 1 probe out, so next time I'll send 2 or 3. Thanks for the input!
