Recently got back into game, a few things I'd like to know:

– How do you increase population within a system?

– Which form of planetary exploitation to choose? I get that depending on the kind of planet, there is more of one of the four resources, but is it better to increase that "favoured" resource even more or should I balance it out (e.g. choose food exploitation if the planet already has high industry?)

– Which are good module compositions for starships? What is the difference between the various starship-types – just base stats?

– When colonizing a system, is it better to colonize one planet, then set exploitation type and carry on with the others later, or to colonize all planets of the system and then start production?

– How is production time (for ships or system improvements) calculated?

Thanks in advance!
