After establishing a landing site near the Crab's Cape (As you've taken to calling it...), you deploy your beachhead force of two engineers, two constructors, two tanks, a scanner, a repair unit, and a surveyor.
You begin the mundane tasks of setting your surveyor to automatic, to allow it to freely search the planet surface for valuable minerals and fuel, and establishing a storage site for raw materials, which should be complete in about two turns time.
Moving on, you quickly put your tanks, scanner, and repair unit into position at the only early stage vulnerable point, the land to your immediate west.
With that, you wait, and contemplate what to order your constructors to build first. A light units factory, a heavy units factory, an air units factory, a shipyard, or should they focus on establishing power stations, or habitats for colonists, to train infantry and infiltrators?
Barring a military approach, you quickly remind yourself, it is completely viable to establish eco-spheres to gain terraforming points. When the Concord return in 400 turns time to see who has won victory over the planet, these points can be used to gain favour with your sponsors, allowing them to 'evict' your opponents, should they have placed less empathizes on their own terraforming endeavors...
Decisions decisions, you muddle.
