Well yes a human can build that many fighters but the AI doesn't seem to. Yes I have played the mod but even though it builds more fighter than normal I have never seen that many in one place.

About the best strategy to overwelm the AI I will just say any strategy will work if you outproduce the AI. This is more important than what method you use to overwelm it. I don't worry about paying maintence because I can build ships at every world availiable every turn and not run out of resources. So what benifit is it to not pay maintence? More minerals in my storage bins? Yes fighters work well but I would rather use ships and not have to click so many times in the fights. Its easier with a few big ships than 100's of fighters and the results are the same in the end.
