When you are in the storage room (the crate icon) you can add a crew to a ship. You'll see a little man icon and a fuel pump icon (yup, the second one is for filling the ship with fuel).

It's called "REBOOT"! The game messes with the system clock for the timing of the game.

I Loved this game whem I was a kid.
I told my 2nd grade teacher I wanted to be a despot when I grew up, after she looked up the word despot she kinda wigged.
I have played this game (PC version) over 30 times on my old XT even now on my new computer and I still like it. I have made a document for efficiency rules, if there is a way to upload it to this site, tell me and I will do.
Cheats or Bugs (whatever):
-By changing Tax on each calculation period you can maximize populationgrowth and Income.
-When you have a solar-sat above the second planet for a while and you bring it to dockingbay for scrapping, sometimes you get 30000 energy on the planet.
For those who have difficulties with playing, a few tips:
-A mining (vulcanous picture)vplanet gets extra minerals and fuels
-A life (bush with river picture) planet gets extra population, this planet only needs 3 farms to populate to 29030, these are the most interesting planets.
-A desert planet gets extra energy (not very interesting)
-a advanced planet gives more money per population but is only interesting when you have no more life planets.
-When buying a ship always directly put crew on the ship in the docking bay
-Do not forget the solar-sat in orbit of each used planet with stations
-later in the game the cargoship, solarsats or mining stations could be destroyed in cargobay when not used anymore or when farms or battleships are more needed.
-Tax 40% equal 0% populationgrowth (do this at max population for foodlimit) (without fertility drug (with =51%))
Wotok:
-buy 2 farms on starbase, then 6 solar-sats (in orbit)
-decrease Tax rate so you have more population until population exceeds food production then Taxrate to 40%( for a few moments you can put tax on 100%, do not forget to bring it to 39/40/41 %! or you will lose to many population), then build 4 additional farms for starbase (popmax is now approx 17535). Buy atmosphere processor and terraform new planets.
-When you have more than 5000 population on starbase, start training troops.
-interesting new planets need to be used for credits or for fuel production (1 planet).
When playing fast you can build troops and launch it directly on enemy base, but when the enemy has planets you need to conquer these planets first (if he attacks he will start at the top). Also you need to protect your own planets with troops if you wait to long or when the enemy is stronger (smine, krart, rorn). Normally 4 platoons is enough to withstand 2 or more attacks, it depends also on the suits and weapons the troops are carrying. Renew damged troops by placing new ones on your to be defended planet and taking the damaged ones to the enemy for attacking planets.
-Set agression to 100%, this makes the troops more effective in battle, unless you want to play it hard.-Replace platoons with stronger platoons, and trow the weakest at the enemy, so you build stronger platoons each time. Consider 2 or 3 battleships full of platoons for the enemy planet, 1 for normal planets.
Smine:
-buy 9 to 12 solar-sats until production is done then you can remove those solar-sats which are not in use above a planet for energy, a planet needs 1 energy unit per station on planet surface, the solar-sat produces 6 units on a normal planet, 9 units on a desert planet.
-Buy mining stations for your first or second terraformed planet, you need fuels for your ships. When you get a mining planet (vulcanous picture) place the mining stations there for more efficiency.
-Dont forget to place troops on your planets. Smine is attacking all planets with small troop strength, so protect those planets you wish to keep with 1 platoon. Other planets can be taken by the enemy (retaken for fuel when you want to travel to the enemys base). Build stronger troops and attack enemy planet, even when the enemy has planets, now logistic view is important. Your ships use 50 units fuel per E.D.A. and 100 per launch from planet.
Krart/Rorn:
-You need 2 mining stations on starbase since you need minerals for construction. buy these in between (3 farms,1 mine, 1 farm, 1 mine).
-When you have a mining planet, move the miningstations to the mining planet and bring troops and 3 farms to it. population 8900.
Now you must expand with care. Every battle cruiser must be able to return to a planet in your possession. Attack enemy planets (1 or 2 ships, fully loaded with platoons). If you have new platoons, refresh platoons on your important planets (life planets and in the beginning a mining planet, until the mining drill is upgraded, then move your mining stations to a life planet approx 1/3 and 2/3 between enemy base and starbase)
When platoons get weaker you can consider attacking with 3 ships on one planet.
It is important that you use your platoons well, train intime so you do not lack troops on your own planets. I always take the first 2 or 3 ships with (8 to 12) platoons to attack the enemy planets after they have hold of attacks from the enemy on my own planets, the enemy attack mainly the planet with mining stations on it.
To capure enemy base you need 5 or 6 battleships with troops. In the first raid attack with the troops you wish to refresh. Enemy stops attacking for a while. Then Refresh troops on your important planets and attack enemy with 3 or 4 battleships full of troops. The enemy will stop attacking for a longer moment. Now attack the enemy with 5 or 6 battleships fully filled with platoons. Repeat until enemy has lost. When the enemy captures planets in between, attack those planets on your trip to enemybase and retake them.
I have probably forgotten few things because I play it automatically but maybe these are enough tips to play the game easier.
