Apples n' AKs or Mommy what do I build?

from GalCiv2 Forums
what is the best build q for planets 10-18? also I really want to know what to do with little planets 4-8?
what about specialized worlds what are good sizes for each? Like lets say i have a 6-8 what does it need to be good? ( like 2 farms, 1 entertainment, 1 market, 3 factories, something like that is what I do now)
Do planets without space ports need factories at all? How big should a planet be to justify a starport or to make it specialize?

I take all the planets I can. If you don't, they will. That can be very bad strategically.

Me too but some of them end up sucking and building a constructor or some ship in like 30-40 weeks! thats why i want to know the best way to use them.

Grab what you can, you don't want to have to worry about the AI picking off your transports using ships that were garrisoned on planets in the middle of your empire while your fleet is off dealing with their core worlds.

Research centres.

With a PQ 6 for instance, you can build 3-4 factories ans build ships fast. If any of the factories is on a bonus square even better. Population does not affect factory production. 3-4 factories on a small planet build as much as 3-4 on a large planet.

Use the high quality planets to pay the bills with high pop and income

Any sub 6 planets (or sub-8 with no future development tiles - i.e. yellow ones) use as dedicated research centres. If they've got a manufacturing booster tile, slap a factory on it along with a starport and they can also churn out ships when you need them too. Even with no shipbuilding going on, the production bonus from the enhanced factory benefits you if you enable Research focus for that planet.

Also What about embasies should i build them?


Yes! You'll lose the influence battle very quickly if you don't.
