try to become senate leader for development cards, and grab any arcology artifacts you find to keep your economy growing. The AI will never, ever, be able to handle such a concentrated dose of habitat stations, so you're set for the rest of the game.

From there you're in a pretty good spot to just crank out ships to try to steal planets, which you then similarly fling-steal, or use diplomacy annexation shenanigans.

The reason you do this is because it let's you stack an entire empires worth of habitat stations into one star system for an impenetrable defense. fling all those planets to your chosen home system. fling the ftl planet to the next system you want to clear. Fling beacons can fling planets, so you can move planets around for free.) fling all planets in it's system to a single central star system. (this makes all ftl travel from the system it's in free. If you want to make star children broken, take the fling beacon ftl, and get an ftl planet to level 5. My point being that the two values discussed above are not without meaning, but also not a terribly good indicator of being 'outplayed' by the AI. It will either not be spending enough (and therefore have an overinflated net budget - because it hasn't built fleets) or it will be very low or negative (as something has gone wrong, probably due to planet losses). This is also where the AI tends to go wrong. This is a better indicator of their buying/building potential. Net Budget is the measure of how much money an empire can actually spend in a given term. It does not take into account any costs though and is more an indicator of size rather than spendable 'wealth' per turn. So long as it's not being drastically mismanaged, the larger the planet owned count, the higher this number will be. Total budget is essentially a function of the number or colonized/developped worlds in an empire.

When you say 'outpaced' by the AI in income, which stat are you looking at? Empire (total) Budget? Or Net Budget? It's really quite simple, but for whatever reason people can find it hard to pick up at first. The one friend I managed to get to pick up the game and play MP with me had great difficulty getting his head around the level-up and resource system as well for a while. It simply took some time and familiarity. I recall it took me some time to be able to get an economy going (to be fair, I suspect I'm still a bit slow in the early game if I was playing competitively). Hyperdrive is very much the cheapest form of FTL, and very good for doing short hops between systems very often, but extended travel gets pretty slow pretty quickly. It comes at a tradeoff of a hefty overhead startup cost per jump though. Just sit a mothership in orbit in of a planet within your starting beacon's range and keep building habitats and flinging them to new systems as long as you have FTL.ДЇling has the advantage over Hyperdrive that it can go vast distances in very short amounts of time. One cool aspect of Star Children + Fling is that you can Fling the habitats from one planet to another, which lets you expand into systems without having to move a mothership over to them. Especially playing on The Expanse will make this more important. I generally don't build my third mothership until a bit later in the game, and focus on spending my budget setting up my empire and getting some fleets. You can send Labor from your motherships to the Shipyard to combine it, also leaving you open to parking a mothership in orbit of a labor generating planet whenever you need it and sending that labor along too. When I play Star Children I usually prioritize a Shipyard and a second Mothership as my first major purchases.

It's definitely something that requires a good feel for how the game's systems tie together and how to spend your resources efficiently. On an honest note, Star Children races are probably the hardest in the game to play efficiently, because they require a fair bit of planning and frugality to get going, and the kickoff to their expansion curve is very slow.
