    Found a planet with 4 gas, 4 solar and 5 fertility. Will have to figure out how to colonise it.
    Yeah I'm at M34:24:17:51

    I've got an open trade route if anyone's interested.

    That's no moon. It's a space station!

    I'm not sure if that offer is still on the table, but if it is I sent along a trade request.

    M34:34:82:11 LittleFuzzy, on the tundra moon Zarathustra. But I just started and still need to build a spaceport.

    The game screwed up my queue over night. Instead of building a population center first as it was meant to, it changed the order of the queue, which meant nothing got built.

    I actually kinda like Literati. Playing off TWF we could go with The Galaxy or the Empire Forgotten. Confederation?

    Well, it looks like the cost for higher levels of plants goes up too, so you'll be paying significantly higher fixed costs as well.

    True, but you also have a limited amount of space on your planet, and it's inefficient over the long term to have buildings that provide less energy. I suppose you could simply raze those buildings later.

    I just found out that as your tech goes up, you have the opportunity to add more space to your planet. There's also more energy plants that unlock at higher energy tech levels.

    Ok, I have a spaceport now but I'm leery of sending a trade route request because someone said it costs 20 credits and I don't want to run out of money trying to complete the tutorial. Is that something I need to be concerned about?

    Ignore the tutorial. It gives bad advice. Try to maximize new revenue/credit spent. Trade routes are a good deal as you make the money back in about 7 hours.

    It looks like the cost scales with distance, but profit does too. My trade with Echo only cost 8 credits. Both routes I'm running now are definitely worth it though - it's pretty high profit, and it keeps going up as Echo and Loki develop their economies.

    edit: Also, build 1 fighter when you get a trade route to prevent plundering. As just happened to Loki. You can't be attacked for a while, but trade route plundering doesn't count as an attack if there's nothing defending it.

    Great, that's going to cost me several hundred credits.

    I can't establish any trade routes for 24 hours. 2 trade routes at 7 an hour works out to 336. That's an equivalent of a whole day of income.

    I'm wiping that guy off the map as soon as I catch up to him.

    It won't let me move my only fighter ship because "I don't have enough hangar capacity". How do I change that?

    Edit: nevermind.

    I've got one with you, do you have a fighter to protect it? I don't have space port..

    Not yet, I'll be building one at the top of the hour when I get another infusion of cash. I want to get my robotics factory built first.

    Definitely seems like ignoring the tutorial and going for Economy (Credits) is the way to go. Trade is good, my trade route with Lolli cost us 10 each but is already giving 5/hour do has already repaid itself.

    Second trade slot, who wants it? 34:24:75:33

    Me!

    edit: You don't actually have a second trade route available. You tricked me.

    I think you only get a new route with every five space ports?
