Re: Trading
I have posted this somewhere else, but it is the same underlying idea as Facetious has w/o the cost/time of colonizing & trading for the tech.
Start w/a semi rare colonization tech (ice or my favorite Gas Giant), colonize like mad till you run into another race (seems that rock is the most popular), and immediatly offer a trade treaty. If they accept, then immediately ask for their colonize tech as a gift on nuetral(if it's one you need - duh) and they will give it to ya - I've done this in approx 8 straight games and have never had a race deny the request after they accept the trade treay - even the xenophobs.
it seems to be effective and allows a huge early advantage in colonization
