Obviously as you become spread out and massive fleets become necessary to go and whomp the bejezzus out of your enemies, it becomes increasingly difficult to defend all the planets behind you. How does everyone defend their planets without killing themselves with resources? The game I just played in no one had planet defenses at all, so I'm thinking of there is a good planet defense strategy, I'd be ahead of the game.

Obviously once you hit midgame or so mines are no longer a viable option as everyone who isn't a moron has huge sweeps. So what direction do you go?
