	Gameplaying Tips and Tricks Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

All the other forums have a similar thread, so I thought I'd start one for the PUT

(It's really for the documentation of those accumulated experiences by the PBEM vets - who may occasionally "forget" something in the heat of getting the turn out)

And I'll kick off by harping on once again about the stockpile energy feature.

Put stockpile energy at the head of the build queue every time you are builing a unit. I reckon since the game began you've probably foregone some 250 to 300 ec's by omitting to do so.

(e.g. last turn - 2141 - you had 2 crawlers completing at University Base and at Mir Labs. Both bases would produce 9 ec's if they were stockpiling energy. With it inserted in the build queue they would not only have produced the crawlers in 2142 but added 18 ec's to your coffers that same turn)

I'd mentioned it before in this forum, but I guess it's one of these things that if you don't do it in other games it's easy to forget in this one

It is a permitted feature in this game, and every other faction is utilizing it to the max.
