Re: easier ways to win when at war
Research Stellar Manipulation and blow up their planets/suns/etc. Not very sportsmanlike, but quite effective. Of course, it's also pretty expensive research.
The other main point is to take the war to THEIR systems. You mentioned that you beat them whenever they enter your systems; why aren't you invading their territory and either glassing the planets or taking them whole with ground troops?
