I don't know. I have been quite successful against nuetrals with small attack fleets. I send in a couple of missile frigates a colony ship loaded with a cargo of missile based WPs, ordnance and supplies. I glass their weakest colonizable world, colonize it and then emergency build a resupply depot, a space yard and then troops while sending a troop transport from home. The rest is history. This strategy also worked to take out the Xiata's home system.

I believe that this works mainly because it exploits the stock game's point defense weakness. Have not tried with the Balance Mod yet.
