3. Building expensive stuff:

This is generally considered an exploit, and in a vs human game it might well be considered cheating, but there's always the retrofit chain.

Basically you build a cheap ship, and then retrofit it bit by bit until you get to your desired design. Each design has to cost less than 150% of the previous design (cost=org+min+rad) .Since retrofitted compnnts are always added to the ship in just one turn, no matter how long they should take to build, you can knock years off your construction time.

Like I say, human opponents might not appreciate you doing this, so use it at your own risk.
