They can also be used to bribe unhappy populations or just to trade with others. Then, the luxury resources are used for system development, or increasing the number of citizens. Strategic resources are imperative for production of ships and modules. You have to raise the System Development parameter to be able to use the space port for transportation of passengers.ДЎ0. You might sometimes want to move certain races to other systems, where they will be more productive. Some races require other races to function, such as the Craviers, who use other as their slaves - they become better workers, but a planet is slowly being depleted and the happiness plummets. There are many races that can provide additional income if some specific circumstances are met, such as if the planet is fertile or anomalies occur there.

Keep track of the races that inhabit your systems. Make sure you're making new agents - those are valuable assets.Д©. Their ships can be improved for a payment in Dust, which is expensive, but also allows to boost the ships instantly. Specialization is a good idea - example: assign only those skills that work inside a system (for governors) and improve the industry, or only those skills that impact fleets and improve space combat. This gives them experience and each of them has some useful skills. Heroes can have a positive impact on the industryДЁ. If you're the first one to assimilate a faction, you will be able to control it and get an assimilation bonus for the whole empire. Focus on military or diplomacy and you will be able to conquer/assimilate the given faction. This is the easiest way to expand your empire. Conquer smaller factions close to your borders. If the enemy is blocking your system, it's sometimes wiser to hold fleets in hangars until you manage to assemble appropriate forces.Д§. Installing better modules and hiring heroes can also help. If you need a stronger fleet work on discovering news hip classes or improve the size of the fleet with command points. It really pays off to follow through a single option so make sure to sort the priorities at the beginning of the game, so that you will be able to realize them.Д¦. This may be challenging, but the more often you opt for the same party, the more advanced rewards you'll have access to. Having hard time finding a habitable planet, or struggling with unhappy populations? Work on terraforming technology and improving happiness.ДҐ.

Your civilization is small and/or isolated? Look into upgrading engines and accessing new methods of travel.

If pirates and hostile factions are giving you a hard time - invest your time and resources into industry and weapon modules. You will have to decide which inventions you find more useful pretty early in the game. Colonize planets closer to the capital, which will help them reach the 'colony' status sooner.Д¤. Some of these planets may be home to many anomalies, which may render colonization rather futile. Look for systems that have many habitable planets or that have a lot of resources. More scout ships means more probes - from time to time, send out a fleet of 3 ships commanded by a hero.ДЈ. If you run out of options, send out probes to discover new constellations. Look for habitable systems that are reach with resources. Exploration - looking for habitable planets and investigating anomalies should be your priority during the initial turns.
