Yes I am quoting my own post, yeash am I arrogant or what.

One time I played the Terrans, and pretty much won. I controlled close to 90 % of the map, had built a couple of ringworlds, etc. Then I decided to switch sides. I selected the Cue Cappa, I thought I could intelligently use their psychic weapons, put them on sats, etc.

It didn't really work, the other AI's didn't like me. Just because we were all at war with a superpower is no reason to expect them to want me near them.

But if the AS was even weaker, it would have worked even less. I used all sorts of cheesy tricks that people want to fix: mines in planet orbit, tactical combat, training facilities.

Hey, did I describe my enemy - 2 ringworlds, resource from all planets in 90 % of the map?

Like Nodachi said, some weapons only seem to rule in certain situations. When you're far outclassed, some little benefits do come in handy.
