Hi all - glad i found the sight - already had alot of questions floating around answered - unfortunately i have some more <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
1 ) When and where does one find a better telescope ?
2 ) Why do i have negative numbers for stats ? they appear in red - I'm guessing it has to do with the officers - but I dont know why or how to fix it.
3 ) Ive read about the SuperMod -- and im just curious about whether its more for someone that has already been playing a month and wants to see some new stuff - or if someone i their first few days should install it just cause - im a slow and cautious type and would like to make sure i check the game out as is before i move to a moded form .. am I just being lame - or is the Mod different enough that i should hold off for a little while longer.
4 ) whats up with banks and churches .. im guessing they open up later but when, how and what for.
5 ) Trading doesnt seem to make me as much quick money as just molesting ships - am i missing something or missing something.
6 ) should i be trying to attack towns for the heck of it - or wait till im much more experienced, have a bigger ship(s) and a full compliment of officers.
7 ) Can the uninhabited islands become colonies ?
8 ) can i help my country (if one has chosen one) to expand (ie make their colonies more prosperous) or is that all handled randomly by the AI -- conversely can i hamper the enemy colonies by attacking their shipping or by killing people on land or shelling the forts ?
9 ) i have not run with more than 1 ships -- just learned that you need to have free officers
doh! anyhow -- just curious if there isa good way to keep the AI controled ships out of trouble - dont have alot of faith in their ability to not do stupid things and lose me assets.
10 ) contraband - is it the way to go ? i thought i heard something about some of your officers getting upset when you do it .. or something like that ?
11 ) how to manage officers - if they get upset by your actions - or am i confusing that with another game <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
12 ) I have a ton of slave missions to be done -- but i cant seem to find a good place to procure slaves -- the prices all see high. I thought you could capture them but i have not seen that as an option so far. Do i have to buy them and if so is there a general rule to follow.
13 ) is is ok to take on a mission and let it lapse ? (non country ones)
14 ) can you forgive me for asking so many questions? The more i asked the more came to mind - anyhow -- answers to any or all would be greatly appreciated Especially the top 3-4
thanks in advance, Zip
