I'm very new to this game, only found out about it a couple of days ago.
Watched a couple of let's play tutorials on youtube but I cannot seem to find a proper starting point for a beginner like me.
I'm mainly in doubt about the trans newtonian and conventional setting. I understand what it does but I was just wondering if I will miss much of the fun when starting directly with the trans newtonian stuff.
I started a game with trans newtonian and than one with a conventional and the conventional seems a bit boring in the beginning. Maybe it's not that good for a beginner?
But then. . . Will I miss much from the game mechanics when I get plenty of resources and research done for me? Is it better to struggle through the first years and start conventional so I at least learn about it or is that not really required?
I've also read it's better to start with 0 NPR's in the beginning (definitly when going with a conventional empire) because they start with trans newtonian stuff and might be way ahead of me and faster
But that was based upon 5. 0 so not sure if that still applies on 6. 4
Any other settings that should help me as a beginner? Not that I want a tea party in the galaxy, I want some challenges but I also want some time to learn about the mechanics and get an easy start.
