Greetings -
I am new to this board but have decades of experience with Supernova and these getting started threads are excellent even if I might have a few things to add.
1 - It is hard to describe how important colonization is or isn't. So much of depends on the luck of the draw, what your starting planet looks like and what sort of environment you find yourself. What can be said is that an empire that does not colonize may be at a serious disadvantage at some point. This also tends to impact ground combat capabilities.
2 - Research bonus (RB) modifiers are from 5% to 50%
3 - Many a player has requested a specific HW system name. If it makes you feel better you be from a system named Casino, go ahead and ask for it and you might get it. Most folks I know will supply 3-4 names just in case something has already been used.
Give it a shot, it is loads of fun.
