Turns

Forgot to say that if you get a paid account, your max turns cap increase by 50%, that`s why from 30 to 45, for example, on Ultra server it would be 150 max turns cap.

Now you can build Scouts (since they`re not aggressive ships, they won`t bring you of you DP, if you build attacking ships like T.ryu jin you will get out of DP) and explore planets without fear. After you explore 5 planets, go to the "Projects" page, then "Colony upgrade", then "Colony Cluster level 1". Then it will show your normal planets ID`s that are nearer to your homeword, select one preferrably with Terran Metal or Composite, and click "Confirm". Now those 5 planets are only into one colony!

Go to Manage Colonies, choose your brand new Cluster level 1 (C1), build some the max ammount of Mining on your planet you can, now you will start getting ore from that planet with every turn you use (note that it stops after the ore on that planet ends, to see how much ore it got open your`s planet page and check the "Available ore" line on the first column). Now you can disband your Viators so you won`t lose money from their upkeep, and go to the Research page and start researching the Technology tree (this enables you to build new and better ships later). After the ore on your C1 ends, if you have more than 2000 ore you can go to the market and sell your ore for 10000 a piece!

Now you can plunder your C1 and repeat the process, that is called "strip mining". After you get like 500 millions money doing that, you can start exploring for good planets with high land, cluster them and build agriculture. Also research agriculture infra after you finish the technology tree (you don`t need the Capsule Lab or the Overmind Project yet).

That`s it, hope you make a lot of money :o!

Making money differs from race to race. I`d suggest that you produced food as a Terran, much more money than if you get commercial, commercial is just easier but the only downside of producing food if that you need to sell it on the market before getting your money, though you still make more money than commercial even if food is at 5$.

Go to Manage Colonies, open your planet`s page. If you have some Ore (you can see if you have any under the Empire Information column or in the Market menu), on your planet you build 50 housing total and the rest agriculture, so you will start producing food with every turn you use. Now go research Agriculture infrastructure levels in the "research" page.

When you`re getting low on money, go and sell your food on the market for 1$ lower than the current food price, then wait for someone to buy your food. Repeat until you have like 5-10 millions money.

After that, research Colony Cluster 1 in Research page. Now you will be able to cluster 5 normal planets into 1, excluding your homeword. Build some Viator scouts (at least 250 of them) in the Build Ships page, then go to the Explore page. Explore some planets until you get out of the newbie protection (under 5000 power). After that, wait until someone attacks you so you get into Damage Protection for 24 hours.
