How can that be correct? You have to eXplore systems in order to know about planets that you can eXpand to. You can't eXpand into system that you do not know exsist due to not eXploring.

Expand first, care to explore what you have secured into your empire later
Thats the reason why eXperienced players start with build colony ships and not explorer-types...

Roanon, that's a valid approach, but, in that case, you're still using your colony ships to EXPLORE first. Face it: you can't expand to somewhere without finding it first.

Many eXperience players use their colony ships as explorers. Hardly ever do I build a special exploration vessel until I have a few colonys built up.

Rebellion? Don't know that one.

And yes. Imperium Galactica 1 and 2 are bona-find 4x games IMHO.

What do you people think of Reach for the Stars? (Both Versions)

It is impossible to expand without exploring...

Guess I am not an experienced player then. Oh wait... yes I am... guess you are wrong about experienced players not building any "explorer" type ships.
