Prosperity will provide for our economic needs for years to come. We can repay the Turexmian peoples for their act of economic sabotage by outdoing them at their own game.

I'm not sure we have to min-max all the way in this play through, so I'd be tempted to say pick Discovery, however the unexpected economic malaise caused by free inter-planetary trade has convinced me we need to grow and strengthen our economy to prevent the means our life being bought out by alien interests. Prosperity, I say (plus private colony ship is a great thematic 2nd pick).

One of our planets needs to be called Tannhauser Gate. edit: unless ... I haven't played in forever, are there special construction projects like a mega fortress or a teleportation gate (for non-wormhole users) that'd be more appropriate to call that? double nine fucked around with this message at 15:05 on May 30, 2017 |

If opening expansion isn't your first pick, it should absolutely be your second. That +1 pop to a new colony is kind of huge early on and stays damned useful all the way until you run out of new places to live. Another thing WRT resources that hasn't been touched on yet, I think: There is a cap to how many minerals and how much energy you can have stored. There are various ways to increase that cap (more easily for minerals than energy, and we saw one in the research options), but once you hit that cap any more gained will just be lost. So having a decent reserve is good, but always remember to keep spending it as well. ... Mind, it'll likely be at least until midgame before we'll run into either cap.

If you do end up using private colony ships, I think at least some should be named after the business that sponsored the initiative. I mean, who wouldn't want to live on Disney World?

2202.07.04 - 2205.05.07 The General Assembly has voted on Expansion to be the nation's current focus. Barnard's Star is an M-class star, which makes up-close observations very important to scientists back on earth. The A-class star Sirius A is also of interest. After our science ships investigate those two stars, Llith (a neutron star) and Braikag (a K-class star) are next to be investigated.  Dr. Dietrich hears something coming from a gas giant in the Sirius system. The Patrician has apparently found the home system of the "Delta Aliens." The radio intercepts that the ship is taking picks up some very interested-sounding and exciting conversations from the planet as the UN ship appears at the edge of the system.  The homeworld itself appears to be the second moon of one of the gas giants in the system. A few months after the Patrician's appearance on the outer edge of the Malperion system, the home planet sends a transmission in English.  The vulpine seems to be reading haltingly from a script, and trips over several words.  Despite the language barrier, they seem very excited to finally communicate with us.   Dr. Zhivenkov, after researching Barnard's Star, submits a few notes to Earth about stellar fusion. The scientific community states that her observations equate to a few years' research on fusion power on Earth. A few months later, her observation of a planet within its system seems to be of interest to the theoretical terraforming community.  In the Zac'zon system, another species of spaceborne organism is discovered.  Another science ship belonging to another space empire has been spotted surveying the Old'awi system. A quick diplomatic deal with the Turmexians for star charts is made. It turns out that the only things their star charts had that Earth's didn't is detailed reports about the Gonexb and Iranaro systems.  The "Alpha Aliens," the first sign of life off of Earth that Humans discovered, have been dubbed "space ameobas" by the populace. The R&D organization begin plans to observe them... from afar.  After completing his research on power production methods, Dr. de la Cruz begins working on better machine learning methods.  Yet another alien civilization contacts us, this time the Trinikan Partnership, the appearance of its citizens being laughed at by more immature members of the science community. ("They're talking slugs in suits!")  Dr. Zhivenkov begins to draft a paper on particle physics after observing Llith.  The data from observing the stars is used to tune up Earth's power stations, allowing the energy market to come back from the Turmexians' meddling.  After completing her research on nanomechanics, Dr. Batista sets out to work on a personal project: powered exoskeletons for both military and labor use.  The Zac'zon aliens, now known as "Tiyanki," have been found to be mostly harmless.  Dr. Deitrich discovers evidence of an ancient space battle on Procyon II. In his notes, he writes "To think of that space-going empires of the past fought huge battles so close to Sol is, frankly, frightening. What if instead of Procyon II, they fought in the vicinity of Earth?"  When the UN diplomacy corps speak with Malperdy after some small trade deals (the UN traded a small amount of minerals for a small amount of energy for 30 years), the Kitsu seem happy to see us. Some in the diplomatic corps swear they could hear an episode of the ancient Earth show "I Love Lucy" playing in the background of the office on Malperdy.  President Muwanga gives the Kitsu First Executive Fon Taras a promise not to attack the Assembly of Kitsu Planets, and Fon Taras promises not to attack the UN's territory.  On May 7, 2205, Earth sends its first colony ship to Alpha Centauri II, a planet with dense forests and beautiful lakes. It will take a while for the colony ship to be constructed and to head to the new world, which will give the colonists plenty of time to decide on a name. (Please select the name to give Alpha Centauri II in this poll.)
