HELP! I don't even know how to begin building ships

[Alf 87]

Hey, I am very new to this game...I have no idea what to do. I'd like someone to help me..and explain to me how I'm supposed to research or build ships. This seems to be a little like planetarion, although, I haven't played that in a long time. Not since they started making you pay for it. Coudl someone tell me how I'm supposed to build and research please? I don't even see a button for it.

this is the opportunity to describe the navigation:



this is the standart navigation seen, when you log in first



you can see

com (communication menu, send mails to other players, join irc-chat, store known players coords)
hq (control your planet, check out some statistics, join an alliance)
production (here you produce your ships, try it like smod told)

fleet (here you control your fleets, construct them and send them away)
probes (scan the universe with some probes)
research (here you start to research new technologies)

manual -> check it, there should be most info you need there



p.s. maybe we could add this pic to the noob guide

Yes I agree that the standart navigation screec should be included in the Manual. When I start playing I am at a lost.
Additional point: Build investigating probes and send them to your surroundings. Add 20 to each of your coordinates. eg one probe to
X+20,Y,Z; another to X,Y+20,Z and so on.
