Although there is a depiction of allowed and forbidden areas for building new facilities (yellow grid) this is not entirely accurate. Building inside or close to nebulae is still not possible, even when using the trick from the previous section. As a matter of fact, even the starting grid limitations are not covering the whole range of no-build-areas around nebulae. There is no other way than moving around with your mouse, in order to find the nearest spot to be build next to a nebula. | Although there is a depiction of allowed and forbidden areas for building new facilities (yellow grid) this is not entirely accurate.

- | By default, your ships cannot beam in crew into opposing ships, that have their shields raised. That's normal behavior. But once you started beaming in, the beaming will only stop, when you run out of crew, the destination ship is full, the source ship gets destroyed or leaves beaming range or you stopped it manually. This also goes for the case, if the opposing ship regains shield generators. The shields may be raised, but the beaming continues. | + | By default, your ships cannot beam in crew into opposing ships, that have their shields raised. That's normal behavior.

If your ships are around an opposing ship, engaged in firing at it and one of your ships manages to beam crew over, all your ships and stations stop firing at that ship, until you explicitly tell one of them to do so. Once you attack with one ship or station, //all// ships in firing range and on read alert will continue firing. A similar behavior is seen when using the Borg's [[Holding Beam]]. | If your ships are around an opposing ship, engaged in firing at it and one of your ships manages to beam crew over, all your ships and stations stop firing at that ship, until you explicitly tell one of them to do so.

+ | The opposite is also true. If you lose a ship to an opponent, e.g. by beaming in crew from his ships or using other means of taking over the ship, the control group is actually still stored. Meaning, if you regain control over that ship, it will also be part of the control group once again. Only exception: You were reassigning the control group in the meantime. | ||
