The Objective-Based Guide to Empire Building offers a player goals to help his empire thrive. The guide is topically arranged chronologically. That is, from the beginning to the end are recommended goals. If you prefer a different goal, feel free to omit them. The table of contents provides an at-a-glance listing.

When first starting your empire, you will need a few Metal Refineries. These are the core of your ability to build quickly. After you have built a few (two or three), build a Spaceport. Look for local trade opportunities to give yourself an easy three credit boost.
Corvettes are the ideal scout. They are quick enough, and they are combat units. When scouting, you may find neighbors worth tapping for a few extra credits. I prefer one base per region, so reconnaisance is critical.
