You don't need as much deut in the begining. When you start raiding and probing you need it. Deut powers your ships.
It took me 65K of deut just to send my 192 ship fleet from galaxy 1 to galaxy 3 at 100% speed.
The lower the speed your ships travel at the more efficient their engines are the less deut you need.
After you start researching you'll build a fudion plant instead of solar. This burns duet to creat power. It's cheaper and better efficient than solar plants, but you need the solar in the begining.
