So a thought occurred to me that a lot of newer players (myself included), having watched the online tutorials countless times, are going to jump right in and do our best to begin expanding our Empire.

I thought it might be fun to jump back on the forums and give a brief detailing of what all you were able to get done in that first day. It could be semi-educational without busting someone's detailed strategy as far as I would imagine.

Something as simple as created X probes, sent y out, build z ships, started 2 research projects, etc...

I could be totally off base, but I thought it might be interesting at least.

Feel free to set phasers to NOOB and tell me what you think.
