Opening Strategies

[baetis]

Hey Folks,

I've been lurking here for a while, finally got my copy of SEIV and had a question. In a game lke this, what usually happens, is that you can do the tutorial, play a game, read the manual but still not know what exactly what you should be doing. So in the Super Fleet thread someone said experienced players usually build 3 space stations around their homeplanet to produce more. I never thought of doing that. So i was wondering if there are any other things that you *always* do at the start of a game that might not be so obvious to a less experienced player.

Thanks for all the great Posts guys...
