My production is going up 3% per year, and I have most of my colonies producing research & intel. I've only got 2 moons producing, 1 mineral & 1 radioactive. Ive got a planet producing 3 organic & two homeworlds with lots of minerals & research.

All that research is going to get me Rel.Talisman in 1.5 years, then Atmosphere Converters I, in 2 more years.

So, Yes, I could increase production, but at the expence of research.

Right now, I've laid a trap 2-mine field just in front of my 500-mine defence, and hoping to catch a lone DN, two could be handled. I'll then pounce with my entire Space Force (about 16 ships) all retrofitted for disabling & capture & repair.

In the systems touching mine, he's got small colonies with piles of (prob: cystal tech) satellites. Probably got large platforms on all the planets too. I wouldn't stand a chance attacking the colonies.
I could hit them with a suicide Plague bomber, but they've probly got med tech.
