So, eh, help? I've read the minmax guide, which is in a post on this forum but not at the site where it is most often linked to.

Eh? Are you refering to the following article?

I am not aware of it being on the forums anywhere...
I can not possibly stress the importance of Berzerker culture enough... those 10% combat bonuses are crucial. Combat bonuses are of utmost importance in SE4. You must get as many as possible from traits and culture, then from training, CS, ECM, stealth armor, etc. Do not forget training! 40% penalty to offense and defense is going to make you lose.
The only other culture that can really try to compete is Merchants, and only then if you take 115 maintenance aptitude (to get the minimum 5% maintenance rates for your ships) and hefty construction bonuses. The idea is to spam the Berzerker enemy with as many ships as you can... Scientists is a rather weak culture.
