You can also read a lot of the newbie question and the sticky at the top of the forum. (

1. Remember your colony ships MUST have population cargo in order to colonize a world and have a population on it. (Will colonize without population pay load, but won't have any population on the planet.)
2. Use weapon Mounts.
4. Phased Poloron Beams (PPB), Point Defense Cannons (PDC's) are your friends. (Learn the ackernims if you can.)
5. Urban Pacification Centers will become your best friend
6. Take time and set up your empire the way you want it. Use the max racial points allowable, 5000 and pay close attention to religious, and temperol technologies.
7. USE Advanced Storage, and Natural Merchants when setting up your race. AD gives you extra room on your planets for more facilities, and NM, allows you to expand without the need for Spaceports.
8. In the SETTINGS.txt in the DATA folder, you can changed the default 100 systems to 255.
9. There is no special order to research. If you want to see what each weapon is capible of, click this link = >

10. Strongy recommend that you read the
http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...;f=23;t=005518 thread as it contains a massive amount of information from many of the players who have been around a long time. Ruatha has also done a great job of organizing much of the info.
