Try to completely kill off the heretic enemy ASAP. (or at least cripple them beyond any hopes of quick repair) When that is done, you can refit your ships and remove the ECM/Scattering/Stealth armor and place normal/emissive armor on it, and more weapons.

You could also try to build several shield ships in your fleet, if the enemy concentrates on them first it'll be even longer until they can fire on your ships. This is espeically handy if they use a lot of weapons with a ROF of 2 or more.

Indeed. I find my first post in the Race to SEV thread (quoted below) quite ironic now, considering I am now one of the finalists, and took the fewest turns to reach that status - the one game still going is already almost 30 turns past the point where I was declared the victor. And, of course, there's that climb from last of ten to first place in the Shattered Hopes game - IIRC I was in first place even before I sent out the 30 star destroyers http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif.
