Latest update for Last 20 months or so: Nothing happening.
Military Intel suggests that the Trithian Empire are bunch of spinless cowards who will be the first up against the wall when the revolution starts. Despite their diabolical declaration of war and their 1st place status they are too cowardly to press the attack.

, well, I didn't declare war...my people hate that stuff. They are fat and happy now (with you out of sight)...
Now, as to my cowardliness, perhaps. Surely you must be waiting at crucial points (like I am). But I have been a chess player for a LONG time. So, I have the patience to maximize my position (boring as it is). We each have about the same percentage of the galaxy, the way I view it. So, since I had a tech advantage on you the Last we fought, I thought I'd maximize it by getting all three colony types. I'll have the Last one next turn.
Now, I COULD try to bust through a point or two but you already know I'm weak on PDs on my ships and might be waiting with 20 or 30 capture ships with shield depleters. Or tons of ships with missiles on them. And satellites with missiles. Or perhaps you have been hiding fighter ability from me. So, strategically speaking, I think it's to my advantage to wait a bit. I'm expanding to 80 colonies this turn (not bad). And soon, I'll be over 100. 3 or 4 turns.
I'm sorry it's boring. But, remember, I figured I'd be dead by now and to actually have a look at the crest of the hill is worth waiting for.
And certainly, for the past 20 turns, you could have built quite a fleet.
