oh, i'm not a newbie to the game, just to pbw. I thought the recent influx of MOO3 players would be a good time to start

Sorry. Misunderstood you then.
But to start as replacement isn't such a bad idea. Then you get some input on how others start their games.

I was in your situation just two months ago. I recomend joining a game or two as a replacement player first to get the feel for how PBW works.

Next step:
Fast and furios: KOTH or the 2003 open challenge.
Like to RP ? Try one of Tescos games.

For a newbie game I'd suggest:
4 players in a small galaxy (spiral makes fun games). 3 good starting planets gives everyone a good base to start with and ensures early carnage(err.. diplomacy

).

get in the game "1st Darwin's Legacy", we need a replacement for Galactic Concordium, the empire is good size and had over around 120 battleships.

For now, it's peaceful to the others empires. A pretty good try-out.

Hmm Seems a few people mentioned joining as a replacement so my 2 cents worth is NOT to do this. Joining as a replacement can be fun but I don't think it's a good idea for a newbie. If the game is advanced enough you jump into a micro management hell! Plus it can be difficult to get into the spirit game.
I think it would be far better to start off with your own empire.
