Hello everyone. I've been reading the forums and wiki, and poking around in Aurora 5. 52 for around a week. The scale and depth of the game seem to be fantastic.
I'm starting on my first game and my biggest concern is to not over produce anything that will quickly drain my mineral resources. Is there any general guideline for which mineral resources get used the most and which usually run out first? I need to get some ship designs started and then some construction, but I have a couple of geo and grav survey ships that I created with the tutorial. My priority is to get mine colonies up and running as quickly as possible to feed the industry on Earth, and then try my hand at some defensive ship design/building. I just am leery of running my economy into the ground through over spending on industry and ships before my game really even gets going.
Any suggestions?
