The Grand Machine

OOC: (I know this is my first post, but my population is 700-something million. So I'm not a complete newbie.) The Grand Machine is just starting out and I need some pointers from the more experienced FT nations on how to get started. Also, I plan to at some point start a storefront, build a decent fleet, and get some Jedi/Sith. So if anybody has any advice, please tell me. Thank you.
ooc: This is more general advice than FT, but if you haven't already, take the time to read the Stickies at the top of the forum.
OOC: after you've done that check out an eco calculator and begin looking it over. Normally, as u'll see in the threads, ones army/fleet is based on their economy and their pop. Some people use 5% of their pop as military, some use .5%. I'm gonna assume that your gonna be using Star Wars tech? if so begin to put a fleet together, your pop....idk, i guess u could house about 400/500 ships, however idk wat your eco is.
