Regarding the issue of the first 10 turns of a PBW game, I recall reading somewhere where the TOP players deny building half BSY and half Colony ships in the first 10 turns of the game.

What strategy works best, half and half, or all or one?

Don't remember the thread, but with a "normal" starting system, you get the fastest growth with 1 turn colonizers and using moons/small planets (with wrong atmosphere) for shipyards.

If your system don't have any moons/small planets, then BSY's might be faster.

And there are always the question of defence. If your enemy start next door (KOTH), those small planets are hard to defend.
