Hey everyone! I'm normally a forum lurker, but this looked interesting so I signed up and want to join in the empire building action.
Welcome to the forums! Glad we could tempt you out of the woodwork!
Perhaps going for the center centre of the galaxy isn't a good idea, perhaps we should find a spot in the middle of us?
In the short term, centre of the galaxy isn't the best thing. But once we get there we can build up a small empire fairly easily. We'll be alone, so that might be a little boring but we can ship resources and fleets back to our main empire fairly easily, or raid the outlying planets from the main group of empires.
