Just got it, played several short games. I have some questions:

1. Can I create a ship queue?
2. When a planetary project site has a special bonus (e.g Research X), how do I know what is best built there? In other words, do I need to wait for the exact available project to be made available or will any research site get a bonus.
3. I have conquered several planets that have revolted despite a >70% approval rating. Where can i find why this is happening, and how do i correct it.
4. Is there a "national" approval rating and a planetary one as well? How is the national one calculated?

I have more, but I think playing more is the best way to get them answered! Sorry if these seem obvious.....the last e4 game i played was the original Master of Orion, circa 1995.

Thanks.
