MOON QUESTION LINKS

#1
I took a little bit of time and scanned through the entire help section. I have gathered everything I found about MOONS... this includes, how to make them, pro's and con's of fleet making them, moon destruction, moon buildings, jump gates, phalanx etc. If you have a question about moons then I suggest you follow the 56 links I have accumalated below and read. I saved you the time of having to search through the forums for the topics, so please do the mods a favor of reading through them before posting another moon topic that has been answered before. With this many topics already covering moons I am sure you should be able to find the answer to your questions in one of them.

I want to extend a HUGE Thank you to Oloros for going through each link and making a composite explanation of each one to add on to our link list. ALSO a big thank you for the UNRESOLVED MOON QUESTIONS he came up with. (I have added this to our list). He did an excellent job!
