Re: What to research first when playing the AI?
I tend to go after Propulsion 4 (Contra-Terrene Engines) and Ship Construction 4 (Light Cruiser), plus racial techs & weapons if I have them.
In the early SP game, you can go far with Missile Weapons (Capital Ship Missiles); the AIs will eventually start using Point-Defense Cannons, but until they do, you can dominate them. Even Projectile Weapons (Depleted Uranium Cannons) can be a good investment.
