Oh ok, when I had hovered over the approval on the planet it said something about distance, I may have read it wrong. Thanks for the info.

Beside morale boosting structures, is there another way to maintain a decent Approval rating on planets that are farther away than your home planet? I found some nice quality planets in various games and it just seems my rating drops so much its about useless to have them. Also, I'll be able to keep my planets >90% but my home world is a mess as well with approval :P

Thanks for the responses. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. I can see myself each game getting better and lasting longer, just a matter of ironing out the details. Question about planets - Do guys usually designate a planet type to be purely one focus? For example, a planet of quality 7 or lower would be designated just for research buildings, or do you mix them up

I've been playing for a week or two now, I've been failing hard. I started as Terrans, and tried Torians. I can get, to my knowledge, a decent early game going, I have cash flow, I'm pumping out lower class (small) ships and people start to fear me. But no matter how good my research is going, I can't seem to maintain any sort of economy or military. Maybe I just haven't played enough yet. I can't give you guys specifics re
