The order actually matters.

You are the first person I have ever met that has said this but it make perfect sense.

I still think

eXpand
eXplore
...

is the correct order

How can that be correct? You have to eXplore systems in order to know about planets that you can eXpand to. You can't eXpand into system that you do not know exsist due to not eXploring.

Yeah... Roanon, you have it backwards.

Expand first, care to explore what you have secured into your empire later

Thats the reason why eXperienced players start with build colony ships and not explorer-types...

Roanon, that's a valid approach, but, in that case, you're still using your colony ships to EXPLORE first. Face it: you can't expand to somewhere without finding it first.

Many eXperience players use their colony ships as explorers. Hardly ever do I build a special exploration vessel until I have a few colonys built up.
