Heyo first off thanks for the great project - it looks fantastic.

So been here barely a day but already planning ahead and it is obvious that at some point I will need to be shipping in materials from other planets (poor Uranus is a bit limited in resources). However looking through the tutorial and all of the help files I am still not sure exactly how one goes about shipping stuff between planets. I am assuming it needs a spaceport, if not a shipyard, but it might need other stuff... and are spaceports or shipyards needed at both locations? Also - I guess I need a shuttle or something to physically move the goods around? If I missed it in the help files I apologize but I read through a couple of times and really could not find this.

Also another question about upgrading the HQ, I still need to save up for this but - When I upgrade the HQ I have an option to select a product to specialize in but it is not clear to me if that is a product that my HQ (and only my HQ) will be specialized in or if it is something that all of my (mighty!) industrial complex will benefit from. Is there a point to stacking the specialty? (i.e. I specialized in industrial chemicals when I created the account, is there a point in selecting that again, or does it have no effects, or diminishing returns, or ... er... what exactly?)

Thanks in advance !

In regards to your questions,
  • How do I transport goods from Planet A to Planet B?
    • To transport goods between planets, you will need to create a Shipyard and then put a Freighter (or any space faring ship) into construction.
    • Once the Freighter is complete you will create orders for it similar to your planetary bound transports except you can send it to any location you desire, whether it be inter/intra-planetary
    • You do not need to build Spaceports as these are a type of Infrastructure that can be created and sold directly to cities on a planet.
    • To set up your first interplanetary mission you will want to construct an ACP structure and send it with your ship to the planet and deploy the ACP into whatever structure you want for production.
  • When upgrading my HQ, what will my research benefit?
    • I will refer this to anyone that is better at explaining this beyond which Doctor Dread explained in this post: http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic1154-production-bonus-.aspx#post1945

That's a great explanation =)
It's also not that clear but under Corporate >> Research you can "unlearn" and re-assign your tech points into other industries. When you upgrade your Corp HQ it just ask where you want your new tech point to go. Increasing tech into a single product stacks, putting it into an entire category is half the impact but affect every product in the category. Stick with a single product until you start overwhelming the product volume of the cities you are selling to and the prices start to go down.
