1.During the first playthrough, choose the Imperials(i.e.
humans - the United Nations),Sophonor a bit more challengingHoratio.
All of the above colonize the same way.
They need a colony ship, an empty system with habitable planets.
Humans are dependant on the influence, which allows them to facilitate building or developing technologies.
2.Exploration- looking for habitable planets and investigating anomalies should be your priority during the initial turns.
Look for habitable systems that are reach with resources.
If you run out of options, send out probes to discover new constellations.
3.Colonize the most relevant systems.
Look for systems that have many habitable planets or that have a lot of resources.
Some of these planets may be home to many anomalies, which may render colonization rather futile.
Colonize planets closer to the capital, which will help them reach the “colony” status sooner.
You will have to decide which inventions you find more useful pretty early in the game.
Your civilization is small and/or isolated?
Look into upgrading engines and accessing new methods of travel.
Having hard time finding a habitable planet, or struggling with unhappy populations?
Work on terraforming technology and improving happiness.
Each party has their own progress bar.
Installing better modules and hiring heroes can also help.
7.Conquer smaller factions close to your borders.
This is the easiest way to expand your empire.
Focus on military or diplomacy and you will be able to conquer/assimilate the given faction.
check that they’re not idle.
This gives them experience and each of them has some useful skills.
The more they work the more XP they get.
check that you’re making new agents - those are valuable assets.
9.Keep track of the races that inhabit your systems.
You might sometimes want to move certain races to other systems, where they will be more productive.
10.Strategic resourcesare imperative for production of ships and modules.
Then,the luxury resourcesare used for system development, or increasing the number of citizens.
They can also be used to bribe unhappy populations or just to trade with others.
Both types of resources provide local bonuses for planets.
