Interesting. In one of my games my technology is roughly equal (at least in weapons) to my enemies and i have superior combat sensors and ecm. Yet my ships couldn't hit the broad side of a barn and he picks me off one after the other. Could the answer lie in him having very experienced ships?. Until recently I was his only worthwhile enemy (he's 1, i'm 2 and we are way ahead of everyone), so he must have training facilities i think. He has superior aggresiveness and defensiveness while I'm only average.

That's a good assumption. Fire up your training facilities. A fully trained ship in a fully trained fleet gives a +40% to your offense AND defense (specifically to the chances of hitting/being hit by direct fire weapons).
