-=Opening=-
Homeworld:
- Upgrade mining to max
- Add +3 Military research planet item
- Build 1 Civilian lab, 1 Capital Ship factory and 1 Frigate/Cruiser factory
Civilian Research:
- Surface mining upgrade
- Colonize for Ice/Volcano/Primordial
- Influence point increase

Military Research:
- Fleet supply
- Increase HP/Armor/Regen/Speed

Ships:
- Make 2nd Capital Ship (e.g. Skirantra Carrier) and colonize on 2 different 
  directions: put Colonize ship item on the 2nd Capital Ship if available
- Make some corvettes (Defensors) to support the Capital Ships

Note:
- If you want more flexibility for 2nd Capital Ship, build a Military lab instead 
  of the planet item. However this will make the opening a bit slower.


-=Early Game / Mid Game=-
Colonize/Expand:
- Colonize in 2 directions with your 2 Capital Ships
- It is usually better to initially just kill the siege ship, colonize and move on 
  to the next planet. You can already upgrade the planet for income, survey to find 
  exotic, add planet items for tech. Then later if you want to build orbital structures, 
  send your 3rd/4th Capital Ship there to clear other ships and gain experience
- On the frontline planets, clear them and build factories and defenses
Economy:
- Start with upgrading surface mining
- Later build extractors
- Balance the economy with the Crystal/Metal planet item
- Try to win auctions: auctions can provide great boost for the economy and Vasari 
  Alliance has great advantage here

Civilian Technology:
- Influence technology
- Mining technology
- Planet colonization/upgrade technology
- Phase jump detection

Military Technology:
- Fleet supply
- HP/Armor/Regen tech/items

Phase Resonance:
- Focus on mobility as it’s the most useful
- Research longer duration

Minor faction items: some early useful ones are colonizing, gauss and boarding crew.

Fleet:
- Vs Vasari: Capital Ships + Corvettes (Defensors)
- Vs TEC/Advent: Capital Ships + Light Frigates + Missile Frigates
- In all cases, later upgrade to Capital Ships + Heavy Cruisers + some Fabricators 
  (for Debris Reclamation and Retrofit)
- Capital Ships: a good combination is Jarrasul + Skirantra + multiple Kortuls/Vulkoras 
  + Antorak
- Capital Ship Items: self-repairing armor, weapon upgrades and antimatter recharger

Late Game
Fleet:
- Titan + Capital Ships + Heavy Cruisers + some Fabricators
Technology:
