Or, in my case, even have a MSN address.

Sir, may I suggest that you research better engines, or else the good planets will be taken weeks before we get to them.

You can leave universal translator alone for a long time if your galaxy is big, your time is better spent on speed like akig said, and the early major techs that boost all kinds of things. Try to get as many branches of the tech tree within reach so you can adapt quickly.

Mix it up, If you focus on just one type of weapon, all the enemy needs to do (and we'll have lots of enemies, being the sodding KORATH CLAN) is research a few cheap techs, and then were screwed.

[Aldaris]

Although I personally always use technologists and a research-boosted faction, I find tech trading to be very lucrative. Especially if you're not a top power, this would mean that we could quickly switch focus on weaponry and defenses.

Expand fast, and far. Scounting now can save You a lot of troubles later. Again, expand. Fast, lot, but again, saves lot of trouble later in game

Is there anyone who doesn't do that?

And sod scouting, build the Hubble space telescope, a cargo hull with a single engine, and with as many sensors as is dwarfenly possible.

What I don't do is expand extremely quickly. Planets cost a lot of upkeep and without the population required for a balanced budget (population that you won't be able to transport onto the planet in the early game) you end up skyrocketing into debt. What I do is grab maybe three or four planets then cut spending and drop taxation to a point where I get 100% approval. After maybe a month or two, we have more than enough people and money to support ten planets.

Anyway, for the starting planet I suggest we buy one factory, set a lab, an entertainment center, a market and a farm to build, then buy another factory the next turn.

[Akigagak]

Heh, yeah, I agree with my fellow adviser here.

[Jackrabbit]

I am Planetary Governor!

I provide advice to advisers. Not that people bother to listen. Honestly, if I wasn't being paid 12bc a year I'd be off this stinking planet.

Haha, Space dwarves with USSR helmets . Epic.
