2415.0 (minor spoilers regarding AI tactics)

After I killed the 50 or so ships they sent at me, they stopped opening WPs into my side of the quadrant (but I believe they opened some more on their side). They tried sending some ships at me (no more than two at a time), then apparently gave up. I am now on the offensive, capturing some of their colonies. They still have a lot more ships than I do but they're not trying to stop me, so I'm basically up against their unarmed or lightly-armed support ships.

They've converted the atmosphere on all the colonies I can see and built at least one system grav shield. I'd say their economic build-up routines are working very well.

Right now I still have five unexplored systems on my map, one of which is their home system and the other is a colony system. I'll probably narrow the options some more this afternoon.
