Confused and Abused

I am relatively new to the game. I bought it, played 1 1/2 games as it came out of the package then installed the latest patch which was available as of 2/18/04.

Now starbases cost money and the cost seems to be determined by a logistics ability. I can't find in the game what my logisitcs ability is, nor can I find any techs which would modify it. Please explain. Also, any good documentation for this game? I like sorting things out as much as the next strat gamer, but a game this complex could at least use a better enclycopedia of techs, units, and social projects as in Civ3.

Regards,

C&A :notsure:

Hi... I just upgraded from 1.19 so I can't help with the logistics ability stuff. However, if you go here http://webpages.charter.net/trevorpowdrell/82.htm
There's an excellent set of information on the tech tres and what not.

Changed the link to go directly to the web site.

A Starbase costs Currentnumberofstarbases*200.
Building the Logistics Management Achievement lowers the cost by 25%.
