Early game help in Strategy Sins Forums

So I'm a noob, I recently bought both expansions and am giving this game another go. I've been playing diplomacy but I'm having trouble with the early game and getting off my feet quick enough. I've mostly been playing TEC and Vasari, so any help would be appreciated i.e. what to build/research, what capitals to build, fleet composition, how to expand early on etc. In a nutshell, how do I manage to have a strong start and get off the ground before it's too late.
