I'm kinda curious about this advice. When I play, I typically set my Military to 100% for the first several turns so that I can crank out Colony Ships as quickly as possible. Also, I would strongly recommend that you purchase your first two colony ships so that you will have THREE new colony ships built in 6-9 turns instead of just one.

Right, i forgot to mention this.
I put my Research to 100% because i buy my Colony ships. So i don't need the production.
However on larger maps where you'll need more then 2 or 3 colony ships, setting Military production higher is a good thing.

I don't really see a pressing need to get Universal Translator until you have colonized every planet in sight.

If you do have a tech rush like i have, and are maybe forced to lease ships, then you can use the Universal Translator to sell your tech to other civs and have them pay for your colony ships.
