If you could give one bit of advice to someone?
 

I just want to know, if you give just one bit of advice to someone new in the game, what would it be?

(you can't write read the FAQ!)

I love the game, but I am not a expert and cant give the best, but for me, I guess it would be something like...

(excluding if you are at max ships/units) remember if you are on + resources at end of turn and no storage for them, you will never get them back, so if you have a empty queue anywhere, build something you dont really need even if it is a few mines or fighters!

For stock, "min/max your empire".

In general, "Expand as much and as fast as possible".

"No question is too small, trivial or oft-repeated to ask on these forums. Post politely, and be amazed."

Expand - Exploit - Exterminate - and Explore.

Like Douglas, "Economy isn't the dismal science out there". Or the time-honoured "Stellar Manipulation" motto.

So the question remains, what if you had this many leftover resources at the end of a turn and every ship/cnstruction yard in your empire is building ships of the baseship and larger size?

LOL LOL LOL

well I kind of meant in the beggining of the game when you sometimes have like +10000, and just buy a few units!

are you doing the same thing I usually do late on in a game, and every planet is full with monoliths and valve improvers?

"Don't do 'Just one more turn'. End your turn, go to sleep, and actually be able to do something tommorrow."

Ugh.
How about "please don't break the forum formatting by posting enormous, uncropped images"...

Then, in a nutshell, you have too few spaceyards. You should be scrapping a facility on every planet that doesn't have a spaceyard to build one. And you should't be building baseships, you should be building Spaceyard Bases to add even more spaceyards.
