Is starting with a fully researched tech tree interesting?

Last tech i researched in that won game was a basehip. What purpose does it server? Is this the kind of ship you need for the sphere worlds?

Thanks and sorry for the rambling :-)

I like to play high tech with the AI in an small ancient galaxy. Often the only systems available for colonization are the ones you start in. No sissy allainces either -- its me or them at the instant I see them. Sometimes the AI chokes itself on the units limit, you gotta set that high. Its fun to almost win, then switch sides.

I build baseships sometimes. Often with warp open and close and repair bay III. Just to warp around the map spreading hurt without any plan at all.

Once I tried to build a heavy bombarment baseship, it was control, 2 qe engine, solar sail, nearly 75 % armor and shields and ecm, and a bunch of torpedos (the seekers), statagy-max weapon range. I thought it would possibly be a match for a homeworld full of Heavy mount Ripper, Incinerator, and WMG. Ummm. No.
