what not to do on opening moves

from Stardock Forums
How far should you go into debt? If your area is short on class 15+ planets should you colonize the class 14? Should you put colonies across the map or stay in a local area around Earth?

Thanks guys, this is a good game, trying to get a handle on the strategy.

I avoid 14 class planets unless I have Planet Quality Upgrades (as a racial bonus). These can work in the long-term, but will drag you morale down and not produce much early in the game. Some times they are useful for strategic purposes (increase range, etc.)

Attack: Before troop ships its almost pointless. Besides, this is the time period where any star bases you have do not have defense upgrades and/or little in the way of ship defense and are vulnerable to somthing as small as one BattleAxe.

Debt is a bad thing, especially early in the game. It drags down morale, which lowers reproduction.
