So, I just started playing my first ever game in Empire at War, using this Mod - doing The Stars Align as the NR. The XPGamers' YouTube series got me interested in this (although I spent a huge amount of time screaming "PAUSE AND ISSUE ORDERS YOU FOOL!" at the screen), so I couldn't say no to the $20 Gold Pack on Steam.
I've played both the vanilla Empire at War tutorials (skipped skirmish, as I don't care) and the Tutorial with the mod. However, since I've never *really* played Empire at War to begin with, and the PDF file I found of that old manual isn't searchable, I think I'm a bit behind the power curve with some basic game mechanics questions. I've read the manual for the Imperial Civil War mod cover-to-cover, I've read most of the EU novels and comics in the time period covered, and I've read all the obvious NR-related strategy threads on this forum before I ever registered. So, my questions all stem from either missing a source of info somewhere, basic inexperience, or severe reading comprehension problems on my part.
Now, for my actual area of ignorance/quesiton - Upgrades. For the space stations, if I pay the shield upgrade for fighters, does this upgrade ONLY benefit the fighters garrisoned with the actual structure, or do all of my fighters in the space battle benefit from this?
