Opening move in Strategies Stardock Forums

I would like to hear from other what your opening strategies are? How do you kick off your games most of the times and what aproach do you take in that initial stage of colonization and landgrabing. What tech would you research? Do you go for population boom or tax them good? Lets have it... ~SDC~
