Ack! I wonder if I messed up the ship construction file in the Last revision. Did you notice if they built mine layers. They used to build lots of mines and PLACE them.
As far as a strategy against them, I think their biggest weakness is that they don't tend to ally with anyone and usually wind up in multiple wars. If you can build some alliances then you will eventually have more income than they will. Tactically, it is tough, because they usually employ fairly large fleets and their weapon tech advances pretty fast. (That is the reason some of the supporting techs don't come along as fast.)
Keep posting about how things are going. I can use the feedback to make them even nastier. (Besides, it's kind of like watching your kid grow up.)
