Look for the star named Zeeman and zoom in. WAY in.
Make sure to save before you go. You'll thank me later.

One thing newbies could try is rushing straight over to Orz/Androsynth space after acquiring the starbase (and possibly mining some of the Centauri stars) for four reasons:
1: Orz ships. They can stand up to pretty much everything reasonably well. The Orz will ally with you as long as you show a little courtesy and not ask about the Androsynth.
2: They won't make you do any dumb errands for them.
3: There are many auric (gold) worlds around central Orz space.
4: You'll need the Taalo device to finish the game. Might as well get it while you're digging up gold.

and...
you get a big green circle in the middle of your map, if you survive. This is similar to the main reason to go rescue the Zoq-Fot-Pik.

About those planet colors
Violet Planet do in fact exist, they are named oolite and yttric... don't know why they are supposed to be the richest though? as opposed to the purple named Super-Dense, Vinylogous, Telluric, and Purple (duh).
also radioactive worlds are orange, not red.
oh and be sure to visit delta tauri, it's loaded

If it helps, there's a mineral density map of hyperspace which I downloaded from "The Pages of Now And Forever" and printed out. If the site is still active (I'm not sure), you may be able to do a search and locate it. If not, I might still be able to locate the file I downloaded and send it to someone to post somewhere (with credits of course).

zixyer - I think you meant Purple and not pink ... I've never seen a pink world.
I've seen quite a few pink worlds, though it could just be my monitor. I doubt it though, having seen plenty of violet (closer to indigo, really) worlds and plenty of dark red (Mars) ones.
My recommendation to newbies would be to visit the rumors Hayes tells you about, regarding new races that the Chenjesu encountered. The closer one being in the Giclas stars. And the next order of business is chat up any friends repeatedly for interesting information (and take notes!) until they basically tell you to go away now.
Oye, is Tanaka ever even remotely a threat? The poor guy is coated with limpets; it takes him a light year just to get to you. He's more of a threat to himself than anything, given that with that much limpeted thrust you can't possibly escape a planet's gravity.
(Poor guy. Someone has to crawl out and clean up the limpets off of the ship after battles, but the guy had noone to hold the steering wheel while he went out and cleaned off his ship, did he? I can't blame him for being deranged and attacking you so blindly. After 8 years in hyperspace and having nothing to watch except 'Winky's Happy Night' 65536 times, and nothing to eat except a random VUX limpet scraping or two, I'd be a little blind with rage as well.)

Actually, considering that every ship in SC1 can start a colony, he probably had enough food on board and could set up an ad-hoc farm for more... Anyway, waste renewal is the name of the game.
While I'm here...

After 8 years in hyperspace and having nothing to watch except 'Winky's Happy Night' 65536 times okay, 4 geek points for using 2^16 where not necessary. To quote Snow Crash:
The number 65,536 is an awkward figure to everyone except a hacker, who recognizes it more readily than his own mother's date of birth: It happens to be a power of 2 -- 2(16) power to be exact -- and even the exponent 16 equals 2(4), and 4 is equal to 2(2). Along with 256; 32,768, and 2,147,483,648; 65,536 is one of the foundation stones of the hacker universe, in which 2 is the only really important number because that's how many digits a computer can recognize. One of those digits is 0, and the other is 1. Any number that can be created by fetishistically multiplying 2s by each other, and subtracting the occasional 1, will be instantly recognizable to a hacker.

Colonies can only be set up on water worlds...
But yeah, if they have the materials, they should be able to cook SOMETHING up...

[necro]Spirit of this thread! I, Valaggar of the Bloody Fangs, beseech you!
A drop of your coagulated blood is in this pot. The putrid remnants of your earthly meat is burned hereby in tribute to the Dark Gods! The un-marrowed bones of your living time are in the grave.
Raise from your grave, o, Thread, and obey my commandments, for I am the vampire, Valaggar of the Bloody Fangs, who brings you from death to undeath![/necro]
Why stay awaken for five or six years on end, then? After all, how did Fwiffo survive for eight years hiding beneath the table?! Probably their food is very concentrate, for example nutritive pills - that's why the Talking Pet complains about food.
If you eat 9 square centimetres of concentrate a day, in 2922 days, i.e. 8 years, you eat 26298 square centimetres. Fwiffo wasn't desperate about food, so he must have had a lot remaining. That is, 40000 square centimetres, i.e. only 40 litres
- 34 cm X 34 cm X 34 cm.
Reasonable, eh?
