Beginners Guide

This beginners guide will outline some of the key strategies in the game that will allow you to be ready to start attacking other players, bases, and put up an adequate defense by the end of your beginner protection. 
When you start playing Imperium Galactic War for the first time it is a good idea to follow the tutorial to start. It will acquaint you with the basic features of the game. You do not have to worry about being attacked for the first 7 days of the game, you are given 7 day base protection for free.
DO NOT ATTACK ANY BASES at this time! You will forfeit your beginner protect and open yourself up to attacks from other players. Complete all of the chapter I missions. This will give you the resources necessary to get started on building your bases.
At the beginning of the game the rate that you acquire resources is very low, this is the first thing you must work on. Continue to upgrade the Command_Center and Communications_Center. This will increase your flow of resources, allowing you to continue to expand at a decent rate. 
Research technology only when you have extra resources available and you are waiting on buildings. Work toward getting heavy fighters, you will need them to start attacking level 1-9 NPC fleets for blueprints. 
By day 5 you should heavy fighters with Level-II or Advanced-I weapons, which you are actively using to hit level 10+ NPC fleets on a regular basis. You should start working on building your defenses by upgrading the Reactor_Station.
By the end of day 7 your defenses should be in place. Make sure that you have pylons around your bases creating a complete shield with no gaps. Upgrade these pylons as high as you can afford, corner pylons are the weakest and should be upgraded first. You should have at least 8 Point_Defense_Platform, spread out around the perimeter of your base, refitted with your best starbase weapons, and shield generators in place to cover guns and pylons. 
You should be getting close to being able to have three trade routes at this time. Finish this by upgrading the Communications_Center to level 7. Then go on to start creating a base attack force consisting of Corvette.
Continue upgrading labs, attacking NPCs for blueprints, and completing missions until you are ready to attack an enemy base.
If you want to buy palladium, it is very beneficial to buy at least $1 worth right before the beginner protection expires. This gives you another 7 day base protection for free, allowing you even more time to expand before you have to worry about attacks.
