Storage facilities

[tesco samoa]

cargo storage is good on moons to protect large planets.... 5 cargo and 1 space yard can build up quite a defencive force to protect that planet...

Resource storage should be started early to capture those resources that are generated at the beginning of the game that your empire cannot use... They will come in hand at turn 15 or 16 when your running a deficit...

Then when you expand and are producing more than you spend on a resource build them... build them every once in a while on the smaller planets... Ie. the Mediums and smalls... and occasionally on the large planets as required... Cant build them on all small planets... or you enemies know what to target all the time...
