2.3.3. Do I really need to build lots of Research Facilities?
Well, the jury's out on that one. I think so,
but others think not (see 3.3.9). It is
possible to get all the research points you
need simply by exploring the surface--but the
biggest drawback (IMO) is that it takes way to
long. Basically, if you tend to do a lot of
surface exploration (to get ore/energy), you
will end up with a lot of research points,
anyway. You do need to have some Research
Facilities.


2.3.4. Strategy, anyone?
Try to keep most of your installations at about
the same level. If you don't, things get out of
whack. As far as how many of what, since you're
allowed 16 installations per colony, try 5
habitats, 5 factories, and 5 power stations.
This lets you add one other installation of
your choice. My favorite factory distribution
consists of 2 mines and 3 robot factories, but
your mileage may vary.

To win a Grand Strategic Victory, you need to
maximize your points: make lots of colonies.
