You all will be happy to know I've been following your guidelines and suggestions about using Intelligence. So far I've managed to "capture" a couple of colony ships and their escorts and colonize planets in the enemies systems! As well as learning all I can about their empires and stopping them from doing me any damage. It's great!Even casued a couple of planets to break away from their empire.

I also found out the enemy is using psycic weapons to capture my ships. I've countered with researching and building computer only ships. They're just now reaching the front lines. I assume the AI will counter with computer virus but maybe by that time I'll have whittled him down quite a bit.
