Wow. A lot of simultaneous Posts.
As for building big ships,
in my game, 50% build rate, even at my homeworld it takes 2 years to build a BC, and I could capture one from the drushocka in two turns, and have it back and retrofitted in 1/4th the time. Plus once I'm in their system, I'll probably cap two or three in a row before they amass a fleet to drive me away.
Theres no way I'm gonna build one on my own.

SJ, bases are only hidden until found or the tech is found in order to find them
Thats true
, but by the time anybody has super sensors, I'll have them too, and my bases will have MassiveMount deathrays with 250 missile sats spread around.
{by 'deathray' I mean
I'll have whatever the best beam tech
the enemies have come out with so far
