Maybe it was already answered, but is spilled blood a hint in determining murders?
I understand the corpse can be hidden, if there were no witnesses?
Will other un-discovered items be invisible to Armok (me) in time? such as stuff in caves.

Dwarves starve to death all the time, why would vampires without food not waste away
until they prove undeath is only a temporary state?

does missile agility have no impact on its evasiveness vs AMM and CIWS?

Is there a way to add scientists?
(I lost my 30% 20 labs scientist in a pre NT game after she finished the research and am left with 3 10% <10 lab noobs.)
The Add button in SM-ed officers tab, is greyed out for all besides naval officers . . .
(Or a way to edit existing crew besides their superficials?)
(edit, with SM, I'm not going to edit the file)

One way to get more speed into your hammer is spinning, as they do at the olympic hammer throw and what warhammer(r) Goblin fanatics do.
Problem with that technique becomes accuracy... certainly after more than half a minute. :lol:

Just for completeness: What is the ingame density of adamantinum?
(n.b. Iron, copper, zinc, nickel  = about 8-9, lead, silver = about 11, gold, platinum = about 20, aluminum, magnesium, bone = about 2-3, diamond = 3.5, polystyrene = 1)
edit: wiki: ada ~200
alu: 2700 etc
the onlky thing I can find less dense would be balsawood (150). :p

The type of attack is important as well,
slicing, cutting -sharpness (hardness/area), speed
piercing : idem dito, only angle of attack is different (same as a slap vs a poke)
hacking : sharpness, impetus
bashing : impetus, speed+weight /impact area

One thing: I would suggest that you recommend staying on the System View screen, as that allows you to monitor ship activity, access every window via the top bar, and view events as they occur. The events in particular are important, as they will alert you to everything from research projects completing to ground combat results to new thermal contacts being registered to new leaders being recruited, allowing the player to easily manage every aspect of the empire each turn. A typical turn for me will consist of me running a five day tick, reading the events log (which needs to be switched on from the Display tab on the bottom left), and addressing each point as necessary, opening the proper windows, doing what I need to do, and closing them. The issue with staying on the economics window for most of the time is that you won't notice things happening until you happen to go to a relevant tab or window and realize that something is different, which can radically reduce both your efficiency and your response time to threats.

Me too.
Personally I monitor the game with the systemview in window-mode, set to cycleturn and moved to the right so that the 30-day button has still a bit showing.
At the same time the event log window is shoved to the left so that the column with event information is still visible with the systemview on top.
Most events will halt the auto-turn sequence.
