i wish the culture system worked differently, as i suggested here...:
CULTURE:
Remake of the culture system:
Have culture levels relate only to that specific system, and how many planets you can take, also how far away your ships can travel in the system before you lose track of them, or something [Storyline: Maybe they mutiny? hehe]. Then, when you want to colonise another system, you have to build up a different version of culture, to allow you to travel to that system. Then you can go there, and you have a culture level for that specific system as well.
This way it's a lot easier to get a lot of planets in different systems, but harder to wage war and colonise in a single specific system... Thus increasing your involvement around your part of the galaxy, and decreasing your domination of the star system, allowing for others to grab a piece of the pie, as it were.
Another idea, different to the WORMHOLES/WARPHOLES, or STARLANES, is a WARPDRIVE But it can be used as well as those two things, instead of replacing it. Basically it works how you think it works... It's a huge, powerful ship that can warp a relatively small fleet halfway across the galaxy, into a randomly selected part of a sector [i.e you tell it to go to a group of star systems, and it chooses a star system randomly to warp to]. it is slow to start up and slow down, but the warp is instantaneous. You can also not use it until it gets out of the system, i.e in open space [or maybe from a starlane!]
Arg im ****, I sent a colony ship to a planet, but one hour before it got there another guy from my system landed there, I'm sure he only had a colony ship there too, but he doesnt have the culture to take the planet, so it got that red stripe thingy, and when my colony ship got there (with enough culture to take the planet) I got the "Your attacking fleet was defeated" total crap.
CWAG!! I'm sending 2 colony ships to planet 12 in your system... do you want me there or not? Do you want to keep it all for yourself? Because my culture won't be high enough by the time it gets there [not by a LONG shot] so if you don't want me there, tell me, and i will get rid of them
I'm...dead. I sent this one guy attacking me an e-mail pleading for my life saying I'll bribe him with everything I got if he backs off...
...but really I think I'll just stab him in the back with my 1000 production points and make a massive fleet as fast as I can. I doubt he would let me live after I bribed him, anyways.

I dont wanna fight anyone. I just want peace, really. I was planning to have a nice, huge butt peaceful empire, and only fight for defense. Oh well, I'm just gonna make a new name ns_haze. You'll catch me there hopefully, after that I have to go to bed.

You need to research your energy, since it must be taking you years to get anywhere. Get ready to send your second colony ship in the 7 hours until you get culture 4. However, if you are colonizing up in system IDs in your system, you might want to save up 151 PPs to be able to use the spend all points function, and give your new planet a huge boost. Other than that you're doing well. Do you have any allies in your system? And you forgot to mention your coordinates.

Epidemic - colonise planets 11 and 12, and then start moving downwards. When you start moving downwards, do what transmission suggested and use the spend all points function.

Its camping time eediot. Start building up the industry, and look for nearby star systems that you think you could possibly colonise. Especially one a bit more coreward, that way when you do colonise, it will become your spend all points planet and you can have it heavily defended in mere seconds after colonisation. Always pick the highest free planet available - ie planet 12 is the best. And then just build build build. Or consider investing in some artefacts.
