I dunno.... what more exactly where you looking for?

General guidelines, overall game strategies, things to do and not to do under different circumstances.

A simple example: I have learned in Stars! that the privateer makes for a very economic colonizer and freighter in the initial expansion, unless you have an Ironium shortage. Which means you have to adapt your race and playing style to get the Construcction 4 Tech by the time your expansion starts for real.

I'm new to this as well and haven't yet had time to go through the manual. I can see that the strategy tips at the end help a bit, but there's a whole catalogue of articles on optimizing play in Stars! But then, Stars! lends itself to math and analysis.

I guess playing the game is the best way to go. It just takes a lot of time to cover a fair amount of ground.
