I have chosen basic mining and jack of all trades for the 30% increase in population for my race.

It means you're max pop on planets is 30% higher than others w/o obrm, not that the /increase/ is 30% extra! to my knowledge alot of people choose obrm (bit O/T), so it's actually a bit less than 30%.

just a little old story:

AccBBS, Huge (I'll never do that again!), CA (I'll never do that again either; just to easy to monsterize. Don't play in games where they're allowed IMHO... Oops, O/T again), 11 players.
playing year 2452: 108 planets, tech at 11/21/12/14/8/7, resources 73k.

Not to boast or anything ( I suck at diplomacy, and that's one of the major parts of stars! Had to give away this game due to timeconstraints btw), but it is how you play a race (designing them can be a pain too though). If you go out colonizing right away (in my first game I build colonizers from year 2401, I think; Don't!) or make some other normal mistakes, you are falling behind more advanced players (not to dish you, had to learn it the hard way myself!).

Read in the Stars Strategy Guide or articles (www.starsfaq.com springs to mind; have you already read the articles on our beloved AHF?) how to boost your economy and manage your people and their growth.

One small rule of thumb: Don't let your planets grow above 33% (you get maximum growth in numbers) capacity in the early years...
Build factories (if not -f ofcourse ) and mines, instead of 'useless' warvessels.
As someone used to put it:"Econ -> research -> big shiny guns."!

Good luck against the IT (you got to love those bastards I do!).
