Okay,so even tho they're listed in the cargo area of the planet they still function against enemy attacks.

My next question:When you gut first start a game do you expand like mad or concentrate on your own system and then expand?

Expand like mad. Try to move population from your home system to other breathable planets to speed up the rate of expansion. Remember, the faster you expand, the less space for your enemies, and less space for your enemies, the faster you can exterminate them.

Expand like mad until you meet the first enemy (they are all enemies afterall ) Then remember your undefended Homeworlds... And hopefully you build the defences faster than your enemy ships are

Expand Like Mad
One of the popular techniques is:
Build Base Space Yard, (Small Base with Ship Yard)
Build Colony Ships on Emergancy Build
Do this till you get low on resources or you can't expand any further.

Hi,I'm back with some new questions. Played a few games and got my butt kicked. Found out I need to specialize more when it comes to weapons.

Do any of you use missles/torpedos later in the game. When in fleet actions they don't seem to Last long.

Also when defending you planet in a ground attack. Is the milita the defualt defense? Is there any way to tell how many there are? Is there anyway to increase them? For your regular troops,do you just construct them and then leave them is the planets cargo or what?

Thanks!
