+- Credits to buy things with.
+- Structure is places to build things on planets or health for a ship.
+- Supplies is materials being carried by a ship or materials on a planet available for construction.
+- Workforce (aka population on planets)
+- Energy for ships to go.
+- Peace ("happiness") for planets improves capability.
+
+Probably need to redo all those ideas.
+
+Start with a planet with a few basic things to get running.
+
+# Explore
+
+You start with a home Planet. You must build Scout type vessels to scan for new territories.
+
+Building vessels cost Supplies and time depending on Workforce and Peace.
+
+- There is a time until the next Planet discovery is made which goes up exponentially.
+  - Scout ships reduce this time exponentially(?).
+  - Scouts can also be stationed at a Planet to give real-time data on it. They may be attacked when stationed (and will be destroyed).
+  - # of Scouts also improves detection of enemy movements (basically, movements are how many ships there are, since there is no "space", no map).
+
+# Expand
+
+You can capture Planets using Colony type ships. These are slow.
+
+You can also build improvements on Planets. These cost a raw amount of Supplies and take time depending on the Workforce and Peace.
+
+# Exploit
+
+Planets will have different resources(?)
+
+Research (using Currency) to get better at building things?
+
+# Exterminate
+
+You will run into other civilizations. You can try to coexist, or just get rid of them.
