Ok, I just started here. After reading the reviews I am psyched to check it out!
First I noticed that my planet has a PopMax of 200, and a Pop of 200. The way I read this I need to find another planet to colonize before I can increase pop.
Please advise,

Terrans have a great per turn income. The second best there is for the races. They need this income because their ships also have some of the highest upkeep. Terran ships have about the
same upkeep as A Miner ships.
Ships: Terrans have one of the best ship selections in the game. A wide variety of ships with various attacks and weaknesses. They also have a large list of missile ships. The P class or Photon class ships are pure missile attack. This is handy for attacking guardians whose ships are notoriously weak vs. missile. Terran ships selection makes them good for attacking any race though. Also are ok in the defense department.
When looking for empires to attack look at how many planets they have. 1 planet adds 1000 to their power, so if they have a power of 20,000 (or close to it) with 20 planets this means that they have no ships and are defenseless....attack them!
Stacking-Herc , nirvana , tyr , p. thor , p. zeus , first 3 are good to take out guards next 2 are good to take out borlley , all the t class and F class are good mid to lower stack, c class also good mid to lower stacks queens will take out star bases and hercs , fodder is good mid to lower stacks , everything other than those are good lower stacks , star bases are good to get unenslaved without coming out of dp, battle at 0 - 500,000 pr use 2 to 5 stacks , above 500,000 pr use 6 - 10 stacks , build so most of pr is in top 1-2 stacks below 500k and first 3-4 stacks above 500k. Not 1 fleet well work on all races so as you go look at how your battles and ships do against others, it's also good to get to know the defense and offence mod for your ships. |

99+ day(s) ago | if your terran your homeworld will have 5oo land on it build houseing till max pop = max land. you should do shop research before going over 5 k , terrans research commerical to make income.
Terran Guide
Terrans
Research: 1 level of housing: so you can get the free levels from missions
rest pure commercial
Terrans rely on commercial infrastructure to make money for them. Other goods and minerals are best bought from the market; you will lose money if you try to make this yourself.
Money is made by having a high land size and good research level, the more of these that you have, the more you will make.
Research: 1 level of housing: so you can get the free levels from missions
rest pure commercial. The reason for this is that the cost of running Terran ships once built is high, if you have a high income you can maintain more ships without losing money.
It's probably best to research all of your ships first, this may take a morning (if on RT) but it will make things a lot easier when you are starting. If you do not, you will be easily beaten in battle as you won't have the range of ships that is ideally required.
Also remember to explore using your scouts for the first 40 planets or so. Keep any planets over 800 land size and make clusters of them, the more land you have the more money you can make. Build enough housing to provide labor for you available land and build mainly commercial. Build enough agriculture so you can feed your population without having to buy from the market. Remember though, if you have no food your people will starve and die!
As you by now will have researched all technology you will be able to cluster planets together. One advantage of this is called strip-mining. Mining ore from planets and selling it on the market for $10,000 per unit can make you a very nice pile of credits in no time. By clustering 5 planets together you can remove the ore from them much faster. Posting can take up to 2 ho |
