Re: Starting tactics
Fyron is right. Defence never gets you anywhere in the long run. Early game it's purpose is psychological. To show enemy that it is not profitable to attack you and it would cost too much which would ultimately lead into smaller empire than other rivalries even if the war is won.
Minefield is good too. I always put some mines on orbit of every planet. But you don't get minefields very quickly and it has no offensive purpose os it is not the first one to research.
In PBW it gives you advantage if you know your neighbour's playing style (played against him/her before). Have any of you used this for quick take over?
