Thread: What I accomplished on Day 1.

    What I accomplished on Day 1.

    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.

    Here is what I do...

    I usually go straight to my homeworld. Start building a shipyard, and a couple of probes first thing. Then I decide what I want to be when I grow up... Researcher, Warlord, Trader... Then I pick a few skills to queue. If you only select one skill when the skill finishes training it will start training the next rank.

    By then I usually have my probes popping out. After my 3 probes pop out I build a few mini harvs and start them on routes to my planets that are in my home system. Then while I wait for the harvs to build I start exploring with the probes.

    It never gets old... I love seeing new solar systems when I find them. I make a note of what they have, and if it's a terran planet I try to make sure I get to it first to claim it with my colony ship. If I am a trader I will also note gas planets, since they will provide me with the rare ore I seek.

    I will also note if I encounter other players in the early stages, because chances are it'll be their home world. I also avoid making enemies in my starting sector. Making allies out of the starting sector folk will probably help you all live MUCH longer.

    That's my early game.

    Pshhh, you can tell Zark is a N00B... ;-) I go to the nearest sun and make it go Nova with my fusion reactor. That's what I suggest for all of those who will be starting near me. I'm going to need all the help I can get ;-)
