In my last game I researched the first step pretty much immediately after the normal planets were colonized. To prevent the others from getting them. I also built them up pretty normally, and researched the better ones to full.
Yeah, he's playing DL, so no extreme colonization. In my current (first) DA game I did the same, and faced total bankruptcy with the changed rules, so I needed to cut down spending to zero I could research the colonization techs to get all the >4 extreme planets too afterwards anyway. That's on normal though. One of the problems with the colony rush is imo that you don't generally end up with a co
