Hi all, I am fairly new to the game, but I have gotten the hang of things, and I am alright at the game, but there are some things I am not sure I should or shouldn't be doing.
First question is what is the difference between a conventional empire start and Trans-Newtonian?
What are the benefits and disadvantages of each? or is it purely role-playing?
Second question is what should I be doing at the start straight away as soon as I start? I have been building survey ships, cargo ships, etc. etc. and all that, and I have also been pumping out auto mines and putting them on planets and moons and stuff that have an ok amount minerals on them. The problem is I don't think I am expanding enough, cause earth runs out of minerals, and the other places with auto mines on them, don't pump out minerals fast enough, or they run out as well.
Should I be expanding beyond the sol system as fast as possible? what should I be doing?
Also what I am doing is keeping earth as the main building/researching/everything place and sending all the minerals there to earth. Should I be doing this? is this wrong?
Thanks!
