Many planets with lots of inhabitants will get you more money (to equip more state-of-the-art platoons). I don't occupy too much planets, just enough to fulfill my needs for food and fuel. On every planet I put 4 platoons with state-of-the-art equipment and a 5 star general training. That will keep the enemy from occupying the planet, since your strength will be about 7000, while his attacking forces strength will be about 1000 or lower. After this stage, you can expand slowly (not too many planets at once). Try to let all the battle-cruisers meet above the enemy-planet with as much troops as you have (10 or more will do) and let them fight the battle at the Enemy base. (B.T.W.: I recently found out that you can train platoons simultaneously, why didn't I think of this before?!?) Well, now you've heard my stategy in this --> GREAT <-- game, if not one of the greatest since Millenium (Though I haven't seen MULE or PARADROID 90 yet...).
