Default Re: Newbie has questions!

That's one of the great things about SE IV. Everyone has their own playing style.

The way my games usually start, on the first turn I turn off Divide Points Evenly, and put my initial research points into either one of the largest projects I can finish in one turn, or one or two of the Theoretical Sciences (especially if I took a racial tech), plus something cheap to catch any leftover points.

If I have any breathable worlds or colonizable Ruins in my home system, I build colonizers first; otherwise, I build a scout ship. I don't start putting up construction bases until I'm having trouble storing all of my production.
