It says you need 300,000 energy. Does this mean you need to build that many solar and fusion plants? Im not quite sure what its asking for.

No I didnt know that thanks Im a noob what a waste of crystals(for right now)

Okay I built a ACS Depo but still cant deploy ACS from fleet screen . Am I doing something wrong?

I assume you need this for ACS deployment?

Better to take over your entire galaxy or spread out into others?

Are all the planet slots in a galaxy vacant planets? If no how do you find a vacant planet? Is it just hit and miss? Is one section of the galaxy more likely than another to have empty planets?? Just a noob asking. Almost ready I think to start colonizing?

Im following the help list but cant figure out how to get energy tech level 1. Im a total noob can someone help me? Plus any other hints that you can give would be appreciated.
