[Menschenfresser]

I am well under way in the game I previously mentioned. By moving all of my mining off-world, I have freed up so much room for research (I am playing with the intel disabled) that I have double the tech levels of the second place empire, which is 300k in front of me and about 30% larger in area and 50% larger in planets.

This is a slight (maybe not so slight) cheat on my part. Under construction are several Dreadnoughts that can mine 24000 minerals on a planet with 100%.

I was at first worried that I would strip all the minerals from my part of the galaxy, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I am on turn 90 and have enough minerals lying around for several more decades.
