They're not breeding. They're catching up with you, finding your colonized worlds and landing. You are the tip of the spear ... of a billion refugees who all claim Landing Rights under the Great Construction. ... I liked the idea of them breeding better. Now I just feel like an arsehole.  ... Well, no, not really.  But I can't build ships if I blow my money on habitat building... If I knew mines = credits, I would've worked them in better. Oh well, it IS my first time around. |

Yeah -- build Mines first, then if you have Population to spare, build Factories.
I'd say let your worlds get to 2-3 Population, then push for a set of 3 more colony ships.
Your second tier of worlds are much lower starting values then the ones made by the 3 hives you start with.

Yeah I have an overpopulated seriously unhappy Rinze Settlement now, and apparently colony ships don't drop population. x.x Oh well. I'm a dictator; if they really want independence they better be ready to fight for it. >  |

So I find a new world... well sun, and colonize it. The people on the ship find the worlds in that solar system and land and that counts toward a new population boost?
I should stop expanding then, but I can't let the dirty aliens have the worlds :c

Solution: Build up colonies and fleets, then zap the nasty aliens.

Easily angered is probably an understatement. The whole fleet came down on me destroying my 3 fighters and 2 cruisers in 4 turns. I don't know where they all came from D:

And I can't recall any game that had colonizing units that fast, tough and able to handle two strike fighters with ease. I'm on Normal, but it feels a bit like I stumbled on a Hard game. According to my map, I found and settled a planet... And suddenly two or three frickin alienz come at me at a time. I look up, squint and realize that the aliens have colonized two planets about 6-8 spaces above me (one of which is partly hidden in a black square). And clearly they have money/resources to throw an endless supply of ships at me. A colony formed below and to my new planet's left, and another colony ship zipped out of view far up and to the right, laughing off two fighters. I think I'll have to start a new game. There's no way I can afford to keep throwing ships at them and I couldn't manufacture them fast enough anyway... >.> |

I guess we're on their home turf, makes sense they already have it all set up.

I have my game going good, the aliens found me but my 2 Templar Defenders and Strike Fighter and Shortsword Ones are holding up fine.

I have my game going good, the aliens found me but my 2 Templar Defenders and Strike Fighter and Shortsword Ones are holding up fine. That's good news. This first alpha phase includes a pretty incomplete set of Xeno AI -- testing the rest of it's behaviors is one of the critical path items for me between here and phase 2. We'll have a lot of different AI options and hopefully over the long term that becomes on the selling points for the game. We'll see, I've been studying a lot ... hope it pays off =) |

I forgot about all the problems I had with the AoP testing, google play don't like my tablet. But I side loaded the apk and it works fine.
Can you explore a planet with the scan button on an Explorer ??

... Well, no, not really. 
But I can't build ships if I blow my money on habitat building... If I knew mines = credits, I would've worked them in better. Oh well, it IS my first time around.
