Colonize

[Tezzezar]

Excellent point about different designs based on the stage of the game.

If you start with multiple homeworlds and have racial bonuses to consruction try setting one of the worlds to emergency build. It can often shave off a build turn. One of my favorite racial designs can build one colony ship a turn early game! I find that the sooner I get other planets producing the greater accumlation of resources.

Make sure to build some shipyards on those newly colonized planets. Never neglect defense when expanding.
