Yeah, planetary upkeep. I wanted to know if you guys skipped a lot of the more expensive planets until you had enough roids to pay for them, or if you just colonized everything and anything in sight and sucked down the losses or had a way to compensate for the temporary income drain.

Sweeeeeet. I appreciate all the input guys. Now my last question involving expansion is whether or not people tend to just grab as many planets as they can and worry about the econ drain later. Or do they actually wait?
Thank you all! This advice has been very useful. So. . . In multi-player games do you guys tend to start with a colonizer capital ship or use the colony frigate?
I am really curious to know. I'm not bad at making fleets and stuff. But getting myself up and out there fast enough is the hard part. How in particular do you guys expand? I'm talking multi player here, mostly. I am playing a friend and he keeps beating my ass, but he's the sort who doesn't share his stratagems. He's also big on turtling, but ungodly fast at planetary taking. Meaning at the start of the game he takes a lot of planets really quick, and early game somehow has the cash to send
