This race absolutely depends on the Talisman to have effective ships using direct fire weapons. I would advise you to use missiles until you get the Talisman. Once you do, use only direct fire weapons, and always set your combat ships' strategy to maximum range.

This race has a sufficient construction rate bonus to emergency build colonizers in one turn on the homeworld. Do so for the first 11 turns unless you really need something else pronto. Send at least the first few out exploring (don't forget to load population first). In general, if you don't know of a good planet to colonize, send the colonizer exploring unless you're certain it won't find anything unclaimed.

I strongly suggest building a space yard on every planet you colonize, usually as the Last facility in the queue. Colonize at least one or two tiny or nonbreathables early on to take over for when your homeworld starts slow build.

OT: why does the forum allow attaching .exe's but not .emp's?
