Whats the best way to find habitable planets in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'm having trouble competing with the AI in expanding my empire and finding habitable planets. I'm trying playing on the huge map with 4 alein races and I keep ending up being right next to another race that eats up all the nearby habitable planets before I can even get my empire going. Is there too many races on the map? I don't want to increase the # of habitable planets because I don't want there to be too much micromanagement. Should I start a game on a big map with like only 2 races?

Why build instead of purchase stuff when I build something it takes a long time and when I buy it its immediatly available. Will I run out of money too quick if I just buy everything? Is there ever a good time to buy instead of build something? (ie buildings on planets, or ships).
