That won't happen for many turns I'm sure. Most people like to build up their empire before doing something like that in this type of game. But it's very possible someone will change things around and go for an early kill.

60 turns in Last time i believe

longer the better...

We could make it a house rule...

SEIV Sandbox is fun

why do i get the feeling that many of you are not going to wait that long?

lol, if we wait that long, we'll all have sphere worlds and massive amounts of ships... i get the feeling that letting people get that far advanced is going to make it next to impossible to actually 'win'.

in any case - there are no house rules about when to fight - so it should be interesting

60 turns is not to long... Think about it.

Your cluster will be complete but you will still be building on most of your planets as the atmosphere modifications do take a full year. Then building those additional 25 slots will take time...

So turn 60 is very early in this game.

Turn 80 to 100 on the other hand is when stuff starts to heat up.... Make sure you get your bases going so you can build your ships on them.

While your planets are doing their thing... So as soon as a 6 pack planet is cleared build a base

guess it is a snowball effect where the slope goes along at 1 % for about 80 turns... then it increases to 175% on turn 81... and does not stop

unless of course you get attacked... and clobbered.

Tesco had very good tips.

And I would also recommend building a SY on EVERY planet. Do not leave a single one. This hsould be common knowledge for us all in this game but just to not leave a stone unturned..

You will have more resources then you know what to do with by midgame so as many SYs as possible is a good thing.
