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.
I'm noy exactly an experienced player, or maybe I
was... I disinstalled the game Last summer and reinstalled it only about 10 days ago.
Anyway, I usually build an escort explorer ship in the first turn (making sure I can complete it in 1 turn), then build at least a colony ship (even if there's no colonizable planet in your home system). What follows depends on the specific situation.
I usually don't use many space yard bases - anyway, I tipically play with low starting resources and other nuisances (like "players may start in the same system") that encourage improvisation, and I have played only a single of multiplayer game (where I didn't fare well at all...).
