I finally figured out the basics after reading 100 pages of strategy guide and Manuel, but I still don't really understand this game, or at least get enjoyment from it. I can't really gauge how much a starbase affects thing, or any sort of improvement to starbases or planets.
I think the best thing would be if someone were to take the time to play a game, recording practically every decision, and stating its effects. This would really help make it possible for a new player to learn to play, though it probably would have to be 30 or so pages, even with small screenshots.
For example:
I start off the game by setting military to a hundred, and social and research to 0, tax 40, and spending to 100. This allows me to build a colony ship every 2 turns or so, and leads to a fast expansion. I explore with my survey ship picking up anomalies along the way in the direction of the closest star. When I reach it I see that it has a planet quality of 15, which makes it good for colonizing. I settle it and build ___, as it will ___ etc.
I'd really like to learn to play and enjoy this game, but I don't understand the strategy behind the moves. What I said above is practically the ONLY thing I do understand.
If there is a succesion game somwhere I can read, that might help (I'm an experienced civ 3 player, able to beat diety, and do an emproer OCC's with ease).
