It has been a while since I have tried this, and the American Football season ended last weekend, and the Groundhog saw his shadow so it should be 13 more weeks of winter.
The first time I tried this in MOO1, I was playing the Klackon in a huge galaxy on Normal and it was a messy stomp fest. Then I tried the Sakkra on Impossible in a Medium Galaxy, but never finished it. So here is another game:
Emperor Durash IV of the Humans
Huge Galaxy
Average Difficulty
Five Opponents
Here is what the start looks like:
The gridlines are on. Using (x,-y) coordinates, with 0,0 located where the gridlines cross in the upper left hand corner, we are located at 22,10. It is pretty center.
Here is a list of stars:

Sure enough, a Huge Galaxy has 108 stars. I counted 16 Blue B-Class stars, 21 Green A-Class stars, 9 White F-Class stars, 22 Yellow G-Class Stars, 34 Red M-Class Stars, and 9 Purple Neutron Stars.
It is hard to tell from the map, but 11 stars are within Scout Ship Range. 3 of these are within Colony Ship Range.
I will hold back the Colony Ship until all three of the planets within Colony Ship Range have been explored, then choose the best one. The next issue is up for question:
We can build a new Scout Ship for 8BC, and we would need to build at least 10 of them to keep opponents from scanning those systems. Or we can build only 3 of them and keep maintenance at zero. What I do not like about a low maintenance cost is how the truncation works and how 1BC per turn works out to 3BC.
This might be small potatoes.
