I was half asleep. That should be per turn, not per two turns. The Rage do indeed have a couple colony ships at all times, and average a colony per two turns. They have added 17 colonies in 30 turns. So in the long run they will NOT be a joke - turn 120 = 70+ col. However, notice the Eee added 34 and have 13 on the way - definitely not a joke. I have added 29 (x10 sphereworlds except one) in the first 23 turns and built a LOT of yards. See my posting on geometic growth below. I hope to grab the other spheres sometime in the next 30 turns but will need to distribute pop and build fleets first. All my current spheres should begin resource production by about turn 40 to finance the fleets. Until then I will be hard pressed to finance yards.
