Question: when you use the falcon's special ability on Npcs, does it provoke them of attacking you? because i would really use the falcon without having a Npc get mad at me for being sly cooper and pickpocketing their ships values...

Yes, they retaliate. So the key is to use it when they're on the opposite side of an asteroid belt. Or to use it and run to the other side of an asteroid belt.
Unless they have a graviton beam, you should be safe, even from missiles.

This guide very useful - I have got a lot of useful information from it - would it be possible to include in the planet types section a bit more about individual resources available and how much they produce, lot, little or none. This would help people find easiest / most relevant types for their resource needs.

One other thing, the special building on the arctic planets is really good for entertainment, because it really stacks up your morale with a lot less construction percentages than other planets.

It's hard to give a real number of how many resources each type can produce now that there are sliders in the refinery.

Your is a form of the possessive case of you used as an attributive adjective, i.e all your bases belong to me!

Updated, improved language and eliminated some spelling errors, I also had to delete some portions because apparently the forums maximum amount of characters in one post was decreased :(

A lot has changed since this guide was made, one of the reasons I don't usually make guides unless the concern new changes, unfortunately a lot of content in most guides is ruined by that change. Damn never ending beta is also a never ending learning curve that can't possibly be fully explained.

I wish this guide got posted on the wikipage, then everyone can edit it so it will be more up to date.
