Alliance List link

Thought about adding the Alliance List link under the Alliance one on the front page as a sub point (**). Though I'd rather leave it for now and see where it goes for a little while, feel free to discuss that idea here, the link is already on the community page under alliance.

Galaxy Count

Pretty sure there are more than 48 galaxies now... I'm in G60 :) Useful site, thanks!! There are 72 galaxies each with 499 solar systems.

I know, I'm leaving it to BFG to update the description as I don't have the numbers. ;)

Fleet Management

Move Combat and the 3 sub links under Combat under new section called Fleet Management as follows:

• Fleet Management
  • Combat
    • Attack
    • Plunder
    • Newbie protection
  • Resource and Ship Management
    • Transport
    • Deploy
    • Harvest

Link these to their appropriate page.

Reason: I have been playing for 6 weeks and I just learned what "deploy" means. Change needed to make learning the different ways to manipulate resources and ships.

Hmm, combat isn't directly related to fleet management, it mostly explains how the combat itself works. But something has to be done about explaining Ship Management, I'll try to have look at it. Thanks!

Maybe you could create a FAQ called, "What is the difference between transport and deploy?"

Needs a section on trades and gifts. Gary D 10 January 2010

Spam Protection

I'm sorry, but this is getting ridiculous. I can't block all IPs each time and lock all pages manually to registered members only. Even blocked IPs can still modify content. Please install a few much needed add-ons to the wiki, this shouldn't take too long.

OK I can't add a topic. No cursor displays at bottom of page no matter where I clicked. 1st Hiring people, i.e. Admiral, Research Scientist, how does this work. The first time I "hired" a merchant it asked what I wanted to trade and when I entered the amount of ore, it told me how much crystal I would get in exchange. Next time I tried to hire a merchant it took me to a page asking me to take surveys and all kinds of garbage to earn "credits". It also dd=id thie when I try to hire an Admiral or Research Scientist. I'm a little confused. jthoma8318

Alliance - Message - Topic.

We had various topics within our alliance, which were updated on occation. Some more regular than others. However, some of those topics have gone, vamoosed, eaten. So the question is: Do messages/Topics have a 'shelf life?' (It could be one of my 'back watching buddies' isnt what they claim.)

I wait with Thargian blunt spoon in hand. Mark....
