It displays relevant statistics about your empire: Military strength, money, ship parts, sector held, number of ship and so on. The only part needing more explanation here is the war weariness which is explained in the part of this documentation about [[ug:wars]]. |
| - | * **Automated expansion and station building:** Your manager will automatically expand your borders into unoccupied territory and build the appropriate stations and factories for your empire. It is advised to keep that one enabled as it automatize several things that you can't do yet in the current version. | + | |

| + | If you play as an empire, you can also toggle on and off the following managers | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Automated station building:** Your manager will automatically build the appropriate stations and factories for your empire. It is only useful for large empires you no longer want to micro manage all by yourself. | ||
| * **Uses Shipyards to build military fleet:** If checked your manager will automatically use the ship parts you have and produce to build new war ships. Those ships will automatically defend your territory against threats. | * **Uses Shipyards to build military fleet:** If checked your manager will automatically use the ship parts you have and produce to build new war ships.

| * **Automatically send fleets against targeted sectors:** When at war, granted you have set a target sector in the menu on the right, military fleets will be automatically pulled from your current defensive pool of combat ships and used to invade said sectors.

| * **Put bounties on enemy ships:** This option can cost some money. Your faction will put bounties on hostile ships, mainly pirate raiders. As such you will attract more bounty hunters that will, in turn, distract pirates from your precious cargo ships. | * **Put bounties on enemy ships:** This option can cost some money.

| - | When at war with other empires, you can also tell your manager to target a specific sector from this tab. Be advised that you can only target sectors that are hostile and next to your empire. | + | If you keep everything automated, your empire will basically run itself automatically without your input. The only part you still fully control is the diplomacy. |
| + | |||
| + | ==== War Management ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | This small panel is used to select the sectors you want to invade. To invade you must be at war with its owner and have a border in common. Notice that this menu works also when your military manager is enabled, and as such can be used to give orders to your automated military fleet. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Money Management ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | This is where you handle your money. Each account has a specific role. We use separate accounts to make sure the AI (and by extension your managers) is able to spend credits efficiently. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Trading:** This account is used for everything you buy directly (trading wares, ships, weapons..). If you are not an empire (yet) this is of course, by far, the most important account. | ||
| + | * **Station Building:** If you have a dock building ship, this account is used to build your factories and trading stations. If you are an empire, this account will be used by your manage to build those docks as well. | ||
| + | * **Military Building:** This account is used when you (or your manager) are building the expensive military bases and shipyards. | ||
| + | * **Diplomacy:** This account is exclusively used for diplomatic deals. Tributes, cease fire agreements and other diplomatic actions will use money put into this account. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can set an upper limit for each account, and set what percentage of your income will go into each one of them. You can also move money around freely between accounts. | ||
