 Quite a few helpful tips.
------------------------------------------------------------
BK has more faith in beginners than I do though.
------------------------------------------------------------
For eg, it's important to have pop freighters along with those santa marias, but don't have them in the same fleet. Reuse the freighters.
------------------------------------------------------------
Don't use armor, quite so. Increases the weight of your ship, reducing gatability and it's cheaper to build beam ships.
It would be good if you've taken RS as one of your LRTs as well.
------------------------------------------------------------
Good explanation of tech trading using scrappers.

Double invasion is possible only if you have a higher player number than your ally, and I think it works only in the starting year.
For the 1st year you need 2 ships, while your ally needs 2 ships.

Your ally will start the turn with the planet in his name with 100 pop.
You drop from a ship that was on the planet last year (WP0). 200 pop. You move the ship this year.
The ally drops from a ship that has moved in the year (WP1), with 200 pop.
You also drop from a ship that has moved in the year (WP1) with 200 pop.
You end the turn with the planet in your name.
2 invasions (from you), 1 invasion for ally.

For the 2nd year you need 2 ships, while your ally needs 2 ships.
You start the turn with planet in your name, 100 pop.
Your ally will drop with a ship (wp0 or WP1, doesn't matter). 200 pop.
You drop with WP1, 200 pop.
You end the year with the planet in your name.
1 invasion each.
This 2nd year cycle shoul now be repeated.

Thus a double invasion will work only in the starting year.

ps - make sure that if it's a red planet, to use 100 pop more, or else you'll loose the planet colonisation to "red deaths".

It's more econmical if you have 2 planets close to each other and use the same freighters on both the planets.

If someone knows a better way, or if there is a logic bomb above, please let me know Smile

I know my minefields.. but I'm a chaff sweeper.
I used to curse when I got stuck in traffic... till I realised I AM traffic.
