Since people seem to have answers, I will ask even more lame questions.
I was researching a shield tech and wondered if the improvements for shields/armor and engines are granted to an existing ship with or without docking some place?
I see move points are given instantaneously, so I am guessing the others are as well?
There really aren't any stupid questions regarding any civ type game.
Each new game in the genre requires adjusting to how the developer decided to implement the basic "civ" TBS theme.
