They're planets that hit 0 population a short while in the past. It takes 3 days for the old dome to dissapear.

If you don't clean the pollution on a planet it will get a disaster after a while. After 3 disasters the dome becomes unliveable and all colonists will leave. The dome will die. The dome will die too if there's not enough colonists on the planet to maintain it (< 25). A dead dome will remain on the planet for little longer than a week. After that the aliens will consume it and you can place a new one ;)

If a merchant dock refuses to trade with me anymore because of haggling, is this permanent or does it wear off after a while?

Good question!, this is temperoraly, only takes about 15 minutes before you can trade again (approximitly).
If he says he can't afford to buy from you it means the port has no cash which basicly means someone robbed all of it's cash not too long in which case you will have to wait a couple of hours/days.

I hope that answers your question :P.

Big whoop it's been like a year :roll: + I was still a programming newbie then, I now have a more extended knowledge of programming and design, don't know if I'll put effort into a new version though, I might try to redo this in a simpler format (Javascript maybe).

Under "What is a multi-shooter?", it needs to be adjusted to 25 ore/bolt instead of 50.

Thanks for making and updating the guide, Nightmare! It's been a big help getting started.

got two additions for the terminology section

nubtrash - a newspeak insult that implies everything that nub alone does but intesified several degrees; especially in the areas of: detestable attitude, general worthlessness, and total lack of understanding of game dynamics.

dueltard - this refers to a player that is more interested in player versus player battles and honor duels than they are nation building and/or empire maintenance. the term itself is actually neutral, so you must look to the context to determine whether it is being used as a compliment or an insult in any given instance.

- Shooting NPCs can be a great way of making exp if you do it right. Take a fast ship (CEO Flag-Ship, Battle Ship, Sethar Cruiser, ISC, IGS or Avenger) and a long range weapon (Fusion Blast or Explosive charges, the ISC and Battle ship's secondary weapon are great too). When you encounter an NPC, fly backwards while shooting at it with your weapon. Make sure you take a flak with you and drop it so negs/nukes are deflected. If you practice this well you can make tons of cash and exp doing this! Remember, practice makes perfect!!

I agree that secondary weapons are great.. what are your secondary weapons by the way?
