I loved GalCiv 2 as well and honestly I like all the improvements in 3. My favorite part of the game is making my own race, and 3 is really great about that. I'm mostly hoping Workshop support adds some nice custom pictures and videos and stuff for that.

Make sure to use the govern planet screen on all your planets, and to specialize them for different things. You can get a manufacturing capital together with a durantium refinery in a factory hub (7 hexes together in a clump on a planet) and get production into the 200s. Then just set the military/social slider to 100% military, and congratulations you can poo poo out frigates one per turn.

This also works with research, commerce, and even influence/tourism. Specializing your planets is far more powerful than generalizing them, and combined with smart usage of planet types (low gravity, tidally locked, shielded, etc.) you can churn things out very quickly.

Also don't bother with farms or hospitals unless you have one or two spare spots on a planet.

In some cases, it's better to build a hospital and farm(replace the hospital with a second farm with pop at max) once you have a critical mass of factories, depending on how the planet is laid out.

This is true, especially if you're churning out transports and colony ships from that planet. I just wouldn't make them anywhere near a priority like factories or research labs.
