Default A strat that you may want to consider

In my Last game I decided that I wanted to be sure that I had planets that I could later utalize for mineral production but I need at the time for research. So when I colonized them, I simply selected what resourse I wanted the planet as, Mineral, Organics, or Radioative, and then manualy build research facilities on it.

Once I reaced my desired tech level, I went back to these earily planets, and toasted all the research facilities, and kicked on the Ministers.

In some cases, I simply build Monoliths and value improvement plants.

This stratigy works well for Finate resources as it saves the planets close to your system for later mining. You get two benifits from them. You can utilize all the building slots for Research in the first part of the game, and then come back later and take out the research and build mineral makers.

I thought it worked well for me, and I wanted to share it with you all. Your comments are welcome.

No prob. You work Grave Yard? I did that rout for 12 years. I kinda miss it. I guess thats why I am up at this un-godly hour posting about a game that sucks up all my free time and leaves my eyes blood shot and blurred begging for more.

(yes I do need help. )

I don't really trust the ministers, so I've always done everything by hand. Maybe after the TG contest is over, I'll give them a try.
