Hi Capt.

I'm only in my 1st game but I gave this a lot of thought as I designed my race, and tactics for it.

1: Have at least something a little unusual about your hab if you have an econ based race. Something shifted left maybe, or temp/rad immune instead of grav immune. Centered habs is good only if you're going to be able to fight early with QS, WM or -f.

2: Scout early and claim your breeders. This is much more critical than protecting the rest of your space at 1st.

3: Scout early and locate your neighbors. Start friendly negotiations as early as possible, and find out their habs.

4: Make solid agreements and stick to them. Make sure your NAPs include clauses that prevent settlements within your core space and planet blocking. Nothing makes me more reluctant to sign a long term NAP than the thought of not being able to remove 2500 pop from that 97% green world just because he got their 1st.

5: Display force early to gain your neighbors respect, by escorting your longer colony runs with a few X-ray DDs.

6: Have a reasonable fleet ready by the time space starts to run out, so you can defend your border.

7: Don't play a race that's marked as a priority target unless you've got an aggressive game plan. CA, HE, and ARs are high on the target list because they all are much easier to stop early, rather than later.

8: Colonize in force, at least 50,000 pop.

9: If you have some neat PRT toys you can use them to gain the favor of your neighbors, even buy off your enemies Twisted Evil
