To begin the game, click on the Constructions button. (This is what the 1st week or so of your game will be made of.) You will notice that some constructions will already be finished.
The best construction to build first is Irrigation. This will make your workers (you start with 200) produce more food. When you get to a certain amount of Food, you gain Workers, and when you gain Workers, you produce more Food, Metal and Oil per tick.
After you complete Irrigation, you will want to move to the Metal and Oil Refineries.
You will want to focus on these three categories until you get to the 3rd level of each. This will take a while. During this time you will gain Workers and your colony will become more productive. Once you complete all of these, you may begin to research the other technologies.
2. Before you attack another player, it is a good idea to research at least some Solar technology. Make sure you have researched enough Workshop technology so that you can use all types of weapons (Concussive, Beam, and Explosive).
Make sure you are willing to give up your NEWB protection. A lot of veteran players take advantage of new players and their vulnerability, so they conquer them for easy points. Scanning your target (requires UAV Control construction) to see if you can win is a useful tactic.
How To Attack:
1. Build the Barracks in your tech-tree.
2. Build a number units. 10 would be a good number.
3. Transfer them to a squad, by clicking New Squad in the Military screen.
4. Now you will see your squad in your base/outpost. Click the squad then click on the colony/outpost you want to attack.
5. Click Confirm, and off you go.
Good Luck!
