People seem to have the habit of instantly planting their colony pod right at the start. This is definitely the wrong thing to do. One must use the 'Look first option' for it is gold by its weight alone.
What must be done instead, you should be exploring and popping pods with the colony pod. This allows you to plan your new base site far better than if you plant that base in haste.
If you manage to explore their entire continent before you plant your first base, you can place your captial in the centre of the continent, and this means you don't have to move your headquarters later.
Also having that extra unit popping pods means that you will be more likely to get free units, those lovely Ogres or have that colony pod cloned.
This is an significant advantage in that you pop more pods that other players and hence will be able to have a larger number of free units. This is especially important for the support crippled Morgan, or university. However not as important for Yang or Miriamn
Finally aside from Zak who gets bonus network nodes in his cities. Using your initial pod to pop pods means you will get your first tech faster. This is because every pod that you pop gives you 1 extra tech. Usually your first tech is 15 lab points with standard maps. This means you only need to pop 15 pods before you can get your first tech.
As pods often gives units this means you have an exponential rate of pod popping, as the cloned units, unity units, and AA can also be used to pop pods.
