Anyone got any starter tips?

5232827 Most I can suggest is have your science ship survey all the systems around you(starting with your home system first) while having your construction ship build mining platforms. Have your researchers go for colonization ship tech first and from there just try to expand.

Also, beware the F**king Space amoebas.

5232827 Immediately start a war with the first Fallen Empire you find. Trust me, they are total pushovers.

"Fallen Empire"?

5232853 An empire that had space travel before you and fell into hard times. You'll know who they are because they act like pretentious pricks most of the time. They also can't build ships anymore so have fun with that!

That... seems a little unfair.
Can I commit genocide in this game?

5232857 Oh yeah, genocide in the game is fun as hell. You can purge them from their planet and take it for yourself.
