Default Re: Tips for initial research points.

If it only takes you 5 turns to research a colonization tech in the proportions mod, then GO FOR IT.

In the standard game, using 3 starting planets, it would take you 3.3 YEARS (33 TURNS!!) to research another colonization tech. This would slowly decrease as you build more research centers, but it would still stifle you incredibly at the start of the game.

Normally, I'll just explore and trade (or conquer) for them when I find a civilization that has the techs I need.
