Good job! You're getting there. The key to economic growth is learning how to prod your freighters. I do wish we could set a few "Priority Spots" that freighters would try and rush to, but only if it was implemented smartly. One good trick is to always build a lot of construction ships whenever you can afford it. They are much cheaper than colony ships, and build much quicker. But they are still expensive, so don't overdue it. If you go into the expansion planner and look for potential resource locations by empire priority, or just look for specific resources, you can queue your automated construction ships to build mining bases just like you can queue colony ships to build/colonize. The constructors will resume automated duties after the queue is done, and you can see in the expansion planner which resources have construction ships queued to go there (and if you mouse over the ship icon, it will tell you the name too).
