Because I'm interested in seeing this Let's Play last longer than just jumping through a few systems, I'll extend a bit of unasked for advice ...
*Before* you start exploring outside of Sol, make sure you build up a decent sized military fleet. You no doubt saw the checkbox about enabling certain spoilers, and I won't say more about any of them than this ... one of the ones you left on is quite tough to deal with and can move into the Sol system. If you discover them before you have a decent military ready, they will end your LP pretty quick. Recommend having *at least* some defences built up on your planet (PDCs with missiles, orbital point defense bases) and a task force that you feel can comfortably picket at least one jump point *before* you jump through to any other systems.
I'm really looking forward to the rest of this Let's Play! Ordinarily I wouldn't say anything, but I'd hate to see it cut tooooo short just because you got unlucky with discovering spoilers on your first jump or two.
Another possible solution is to just turn the spoilers off next time you load up the game. This can be done from the game selection window. Star Swarm is the one you left on that you should be worried about. You can turn them back on again once you feel you've got a handle on military operations.
