Here’s my starting system:
You can see where we are!!!
Let’s look at my Capital HW of Serenia Prime –
Pretty small, just Class 24 and one Manu District. I order a Industrial Center and the Manu District next for 20 total months
Jan, 2307 – I order a Colony Ship which will take a longer 11 months
I start researching Colonial Polices for 1 month.
Serenia Prime II is a good Class 20 Core World, but I want to grab stuff later if I can. I use 15 Control to see what else is what. I find in a next door system called Cannon IV which is Class 22. I send my Colony Ship. I send my Probe to explore and my FlasgShip to grab an anomaly
Feb – Colonial Policies done! Next is Research Districts for 4 months
I can move my leaders and get the one good one for free. They are 4/10/7/6 - I’ll save them for Cannon IV governor. I want to hire a good Minister of Tech, my best is 9 INT for 297 cash.
I choose Heart of the Empire for my open CIV spot.
Mar – Event – Beacon – Our people want to send a Beacon about ourselves to folks. We send one of Peace and Hope
Apr – Event – I get a new Scientist in our HW
May - I find 3 Promethion mines nearby
June – Tech done! Next is 4 more months for letting more people live on our worlds called “Planetology”
It looks like Cannon IV needs Exotic World Colonization, it looks like the two in my system need Extreme Colonization. I send this to the Minor Colony World of Rukbat II
Aug – We finish our first anomaly! We found a Space Beast. We get out of there
Sept – I find a Core World that needs Extreme Colonization in Evenstar System Class 24.
Oct - Colony Ship done, uh oh, I don’t have any Colony Worlds left. I order a Con Ship for 22 months
Dec – Tech done! Next is Universal Translator for 3 months
Event – Illicit Weapons on my HW – I choose to wipe them out and lose 10 crime
