Just Joined Need Help SMG (Save My Game)!!!

A noob should be Advent. Real easy to win as (but some spammers do that so they win)

2) I'm too lazy to post this, go to the thread "Problems, in general" and read what I said in my OP.

Hope it helps

Have you tried playing throught the tutorials?  For your economy that can help a lot.  Also, when you first colonize planets you can get a 'planet underdevelopment penalty' which means you lose money until you upgrade your civilian infrastructure.

I dont think it matters what race you start as, they all have their issues and strengths. Its a matter of playing until you understand what they are and how to overcome an issue or use a strength.

When you colonise, you need to upgrade the infrastructure of the planet to avoid a panelty. Ignoring this can mean you never have any money, so when you colonise, you need to do an upgrade or 2 to the planet itself to remove the panelty.

Lock the teams.

Turn off Pirates.

You shouldnt only build one sort of ship. The game isnt built that way. Every ship has a counter to something else, so each ship also has another one out there that renders it impotent or vulnerable. Each ship has a purpose, so fleets that have all ships have all the bases covered.

Unless I hear otherwise from the post originator, judging by his questions and his name, this thread is actually a spoof of all the kinds of questions noobs generally ask and was meant as a joke.

This is the noob and no it is not a joke

Well, since you know about the forums, you are ahead of 99% of the noobs out there.  There are multiple posts in the strategy section on how to play and how to play well.  I first suggest you play the tutorials and then play a little bit.  If you are having trouble, try searching the strategy section of the forums, some people have put a lot of effort in on some of their threads, particularly Raging Amish.  Good luck to you.
