2 Noob Q's

from Sins Forums

1) I started a single player game on a large map (Areolian Sector), and it has 4 or 5 stars on it. To my surprise, when I explored all the planets connected to my star, I see no obvious way to get to the planets of the other stars. Am I missing some tricky sort of link? Or is this a "feature" of this particular map? Or is this a feature of all maps w/ multiple stars?

2) When use an ability point to purchase a level, it appears that permanently I lose the opportunity to use that ability point for any of the "specials". Is it not the case that if you purchase levels you will have had fewer ability points to spend on specials, once you reach the level cap? If so, why would one ever purchase levels?

TIA,

 

Kirk

1)Research long range jumps

2) Makes ships more powerful faster and ability points are still the same

More on 1) - Long Range jumps allow you to jump from star to star. So the first time you visit a star system after researching it, right-click on the destination star to go there.

You don't use an ability point to purchase a level. You use credits. You will still maintain your maximum ability points whether or not you buy the first few levels.
