The second most logical pick, is the colonizer capital ship - the Akkan battlecruiser.

A Dunov capital ship, being a support one, delivers more impact, than a Kol battleship. As it's abilities are inferior, and it's raw firepower is insignificant. Kol battleship is the only capital ship from TEC arsenal, which is completely useless, unless you have mastered every possible aspect of the game. But do not let the capitalistic propaganda, with all those shiny trailers, sway you into such a mistake. And for reasons of good ads, most new players go with a kol battle ship. While most of the frigates/cruisers will have to be researched, you can get any kind of capital ship directly.


Now it is about getting your first capital ship. Getting 2 additional scouts and setting them to auto scout is a must have, as knowing the map layout, you will know in which direction you have to move to colonize, and in which direction you should fortify. It all starts with a terran planet, 2 frigate factories, 1 capital ship factory, 3 mines and 2 scouts.
