 Tips & Suggestions

It is vital to keep in mind how you assign your planets. Too many will cause waste and too little will make it not profitable. Bear in mind that having too much housing will build up your Power Rating (PR) as 10% of your total population will be added to your PR. Having a high base PR might affect your battle results and your fleet when doing battle.

It's always best to assign more planets to your most profitable group. As for Terrans, it's best to assign your planets to Commercial as they generate more money for your system. Remember to research high on your commercial infrastructure research.

Remember to keep a sufficient amount of food so that your population would not die of hunger and result in loyalty drop. Also, it's always best to keep the loyalty level above 100 to prevent uprising.
