Guru your techs are fine, You colonies are under huge problem i guess under a month ur 3 colonies will be full. No fields left Terraformers are too costly and arent useful. Secondly as afleeter you should have maximum possible reach in the UNI your colonies are all based in gal 6. and 2 in Gal 4. So i suggest delete the small colonies and spread out. It will make u weaker now but will be very beneficial in the long run. I have deleted 5 colonies above 150 fields. 3 months from now i bet you that you will be worried abt planet fields. I am on my way to Gal 1 if this comes out above 200+ then i will have a reach from Gal 1-6 with 2 more colonies i have to decide. I will be having only 1 colony in Gal 6.

I was afraid for that... Gess theres no other option..

About spreading out over the Galax im not that sure.. 3 galaxy's are fine to me.
1 or 2 planets in each galax is something im not planning to do as the travel times between planets will be way 2 long.
Il more have like 3 planets per galax with about 200 systems spread between them. (should give a good overal)

For now im letting the Colony's stay but when the Big ones are getting fuller I will start to hunt for more big Colony's..
