Build Ship Parts
The ship parts ordering screen allows you to place an order for more ship
parts, fighters and ground assault craft. If you have the metals and money the
items will show up the next turn in the base ' s parts storage area. You can place orders for things that you do not have the
minerals and money to build. The items will be built at a later time when you
have the metals and money required. You can change your order at anytime. All
parts orders are saved from turn to turn and do not go away unless you delete
them or the item is built.
The green lights right of the part type select grey buttons let you know
that there are pending orders for this type of part. From the green lights we
know that there is an order for Small Weapons, Large Weapons and Assault V. Since
Large Weapon is the currently selected type of part you can see a list of all
Large Weapons available. Items in red ( in this case all the items ) can not be
built because the tech level required is too low. You can still place an order
with the hopes of gaining the required tech level in the future if you wish.
The yellow lights just left of the list of large weapons and right of the
grey type select buttons are there to let you know that there is an order for
these two items. There is an order in place for 10 new Merculite Rockets and 1
more Heavy Laser. There are currently 25 Heavy Lasers in storage at this base.
The Total Order Cost listings are of the total amount of metals and money
required to build all the selected items of all types. The In Storage listings
are of the amounts of metals and money that are in storage at the base.
