Second part:

1. How far do you research propulsion and why? Quantum I except with low tech cost then I will go all the way to III
2. Do you use training facilities and why? Absolutely! I play PBW. They are utterly essential! When I was only playing solo, I never researched them. I did it once and could not make myself wait the 7 turns to full training when I had a juicy target waiting.
