Is it possible to attack/bombard/invade 'neutral' planets? Doesn't seem to work for me.
But, then again: Who am I, but a particle of dust in infinite space...

Yes, you can bombard neutral planet.
I play with humans and allready win 8 battles,
and make 1 succesful invasion

Yes, it is possibly - at least it passed all alpha tests. If it not work - please, write detailed what not work.

Krong is Energy awatar, it is not a particle in Universe, it is a PART of Universe, basic part

Well, I tried several times to bombard a neutral planet en the game replied:
" Command rejected: attempt to attack unexplored/own planet "
But the planet is known and in the system where I colonize a planet. So, by your words, it should work

Ok, I`ll check this case. Thanx.

Another pair of questions:
1. In the general core report, it is not clear what is produced/consumed/stock. Normally, it would be: what is produceg minus what is consumed = added to stock, but here it doesn't seem to work that way
Example: Cristals in stock 200, produced 0, consumed 36, last line 164 ??
(Suggestion: Maybe change the terms: Previous stock - last stock)
2. In which proportion is a CM mining Metal & Cristals? Is there a priority? Maybe proportional with the ratio you set in "Assignement" or in proportion with the availability of these resources on the planet?

Yes, terminology is bad here.
I`ll change reperts next week - waiting for design from artist.
Report show "virtual" turn statistics - You can estimate this values it show after next turn.

CM always mine X cristals and Y metal - X and Y depend on planet`s resource parameters. You can not set mining ratio, but You can set how much % of mined crystals will be converted to energy, and how much metals will be available for Y-units production.
About bomarding neutral planet - all is ok, there is just bad message, it should be changed to
"You can not attack this planet in this system - create Y-node (scan) it first".
As I guess, You are trying to attack planet in the system explored by Your ally, isn`t it ?

I have a funny situation here. I am entering a star system with an I-node (CM, CEC, CF) and it landed on a good planet.
After several turns, I noticed that there is no increase of Y-units in that system. First I thought that the units could only be built in the starsystem where the core was located, but the funny part is that when I did the same in a previous starsystem, Y-units were built there...

Suggestion for Krong...
1. Since the only things they are interested in, are energy and metal, what happens when the planet(s) run out of metal?
Will the Krong be able to modify its structure to come up with another module (CT: Cybernetic Transmuter), by which it can transmute biomatter in metal (at a cost of energy, of course). This would make the game mor competitive
2. Have you seen the Star Trek Next Generation series, with the Borg race? Cybernetic beings who recycle almost everything. Here also an idea: why not use the metal scraps of the wrecks and hulks after a battle to refine some metal?

This is not the case. It is a system were I am present (even my core system). And more: when I tried to scan first, the program answered : "The system is already scanned"

Decreasing ammount of resources in planet`s characteristics reserver for feature use, currently You can not extract all metal from planet.
Ability to convert one resourse to another will be implemented for Mercenaries. But I like this idea about transmuting, have to think about it 
At least humans will have ability to terraform planets (but not in first and even second betas).

This is a bit hard to belive, but I have seen only one moovie from Star Trek series - and a lot of peoples told to me about this moovie.
Name of <Delta Quadrant> has no relation with this serial, really.
And to be clear here, Krong has no relation with Borg (Maverick told me about Borg) - I was impressed by "Uncoquerable" by Stanislaw Lem before I created Krong.
Using quotes is simple - just enclose text You want to be quoted in [ q ] quoted text here [ / q ] (remove spases from tags) - this is like HTML tags, but they are safe.

Hmm... can You told to me what is Your empire name ?
I`ll see if there is a bug, hope we will fix it.

1. OK, my empire is called Massinissa, en in the starsystem were my core is located, there is one neutral planet. I could never bombard it. Must be Superman 
2. Hey Green, have you looked into the problem I sent in today at 10:37.
I even saw that in the report screen the amount of 'produced Y-units was exactly the double of the number of landed CF, but in that starsystem, there was no growth of Y-units. Is this normal? Maybe the Y-units are only produced in the core starsystem?
3. Is this correct that I must have CEC in orbit, in order to sent energy to the core. Landed CEC do not sent energy?

Examining Your case just now, hope fix it today.

The ammount of produced Y-units do not depend on planet/system - each CF can produce 2 Y-units per turn (if all ok with metal, of course).
Produced Y-units are hypered directly to the Core - You can add this to guide (I replied to Your e-mail).
Produced Y-units was spawned in the same system where they was produced in early beta, but.... it was a problem to bring them to the one location, thus, I decided to hyper them to the Core.
As a reward, we decided to allow players to change Hypernode`s coordonates - so, You can produce NNNN Y-units in one system, change Hypernode coords to other system and start Y-units production here.

No. When CEC orbit star, it capture star`s radiation, convert it to energy and transfer it to the Core.
The ammount of produced energy is depended from star class and star size. Ideal star - O class Supergigant.
If CEC is landed it has dual role - first, it produced energy from mined crystals (there is a little bug now, but it will be fixed : crystals from Core`s stock are not used, only mined crystals can be converted) and transfer energy to the core. And second role - this is defence complex when Humans, Fagur or Mercs tried to invade planet.
If You have any questions - let me know
