If your home system has only 1 planet, wait until the next turn and send ur colony ship to the nearest suitable planet once your sensor ship is done. Take the pragmatic ideology point and get the 3 free constructor vessels, upgrade those into colony ships. You could put all of your pop to research for this turn since your social/military production is being rushed anyway.ĭepending on your home system, if you have a lower level planet you can colonize that first. Also I normally buy a factory on my home planet this turn as well. Buy this on your first turn (this will save you turns of scouting).
I feel like a lot would be dependent on your tech tree, your race's bonuses, map size, what type of victory you are going for, proximity (and type) of other civilizations ect.įor super early game what I have found to be most optimal is to first design a sensor support vessel (support hull with only sensors).
