But taking over abandoned spots is an excellent way of gaining experience. You are free from any pressure to do well, becuase as you pointed out many of these empires are in hopelessly bad situations. This allows you to experiment, learn the mechanics of the game and whatnot, without working too hard on the strategy. These two tnihgs are hard to learn at the same time.

Players in exsisting games will typically give a replacment player some slack, stopping wars, etc, until you get your feet under you. They are usually just pleased to have someone controlling the empire rater than the AI.
