Re: SE 4: Early game standoff tactic...
If the AI is using missile sats and platforms, and it usually does, you will want a couple of level 3 point defense cannons on your ships.
If the AI has had nothing to do but colonize 3 planets in this system, then its spent all this time building weapon platform after weapon platform probably with CSM 1.
Meantime, get a transport full of troops ready to join your attack fleet so you can take that planet instead of glassing it. It's not going to up and leave.
Wasn't it nice of them to build up its facilities just for your convenience? Bwa-ha-ha-ha.
