My most common first build is a troop ship, though not if i start with poor offensive ground troops (or if natives are off).

I usually build an outpost ship first or sometimes a scout.

So, we all have our preferred "usual", and i'm betting many (most?) people have a pretty constant first 3-5 builds.

A "pre-scripted" build/research sequence would be nice. It's probably not all that high on the requested features queue.

MHO, of course.

Certainly not recently. If you don't have the tech to grow, then you'll trend towards 0 at a maximum. I don't think there is any combination of research and specials that has 1 as a stable population. If you're at Sub Hab and Symbiotic Biology, it's going to be 0 pop. However, it takes a while to get there, I think it's 10% reduction per turn. I sometimes put sacrificial Exobot colonies on worlds that have growth specials for other species.
