Mopping up the AI

[minipol]

In my current game i'm nr 1 in everything. I'm busy construction a ringworld and sphereworld and i'm expanding my fleet. Now, i was wondering what the best (quickest) way is to mop up the remaining ai factions (TDM+FQM)
I think a sun destroyer would be ideal for this although i have never built one before.
If you destroy a sun in a system, is your ship also destroyed?

Yes it is. Same for Black hole creation.

Nucleonic disruption torpedo which disrupts all nucleonic reactions in a star, destroying it. The resulting explosion will destroy all planets and ships within the solar system.

So mopping up will be quite expensive as the star destroyer is destroyed together with the star and the system. Well, as i'm building ringworlds the cost will be no factor anymore so i'll start building the sun destroyers.

Well the alternative is to mash individual planets individually with re-usable ships. Planet busters will do the trick, or loads of planetary napalm. Alternatively, hike up your score by building some big, expensive ships and then see if you can get a domino surrender.

If your enemy is weak, then take one of its planets and order him to surrender.
System destroyers are expensive but useful if your enemy has strong systems.
