Thanks WhiteLion!
It is never too many hours to play My first week was very intense and critical. Practically, I checked the situation every 20-30 minutes and made adjustments. I admit that I was probably overdoing it but I did not want to get surprised by unexpected attack or miss a good planet. I had to establish my main net of colonies. I had to map Galaxies around my world. My home world was located in the left upper corner of the Universe which was not the best spot at all.
Since it was my first game most of the stuff was new too me. I spent some time reading forum and asking questions. I spent a lot of time thinking what I should research and what is a proper order for it. But it was fun.
