| Purpose of the save reload is just to get the freighters there quicker. I usually trade techs for a few and build the rest |
|
I don't build freighters at all any more unless I am way out at the edge of the map. Then I buy the five I need. I never research anything that lets me have more than 5 trade routes anyway.

| I trade for them. I end up with more frieghters then I can use that way |
|
I can never seem to get to know all the races quick enough for my liking. That is why I usually have ot build a few. The ones I trade for get sent back to start a route with the origional owner. Once I get 7 freighters I stop. 1 for each race is all I need. If I get techs later on I rush buy 1 or 2 if it is feasible and I can recoup the cost before 2190. I have several anomoly packs from the library so after a little exploring... I usually have 7-9 trade routes by the snd of the game. Also depends on the tech tree I use to. Any more than 5 planets and I fall behind the reasearch curve and am always trying to catch up. After the initial first four, I go straight down the line. Only skip deflectors and interstellar tactics(mod I think) until it says I can complete them next month. I can usuallf find all 7 races before Feb 2179. As soon as I find one I start trading techs like crazy. I trade for every thing except ship techs. They want to much for those. I don't bribe to warm or friendly until one race goes to cool. Once that happens I dump 5-6 techs on them. No particular techs. What ever I see on the screen listed, starting at the top. The AI's love me long enough for me to reasearch 10-12 more techs. Usually 2 months each. Once I have those 7 freighters I go to 18% Social 88% Reasearch. I rush by Virtual Reality Modules always. And Frictionless Clothing when I can trade up for the techs it requires. Once I have all the trade goods I want, Diplo Trans, Aphro, Grav Accel, Harmony Crystals, Micro Repair, Nano Recorders(if I can trade for tech Teracomputers which rarely happens) and Ultra Spices. I never have a problem getting all of those trade goods except VRM and FC so thats why I buy those. Jan 2190 I will have 30K-50K BC and atleast a few techs te others don't have. Cough up all the tech, 3 TG and 3k BC for 50mos, click alliance w/ a TG or 2, move on to the next one.
My game is modded to the hilt so I am not sure what is real game and what I have added. Maso 60k can be done in 25min. My average game 35-40 min including set-up, submission, and the BOOM.
