Are you playing with a mod?

AI bonus High does multiply the number of resources the AI players get.

I beleive I meant turn 150 which is about year 15 or 20 I can't remember how many turns in a year ATM...hmm.

Either way updated report, I destroyed over 78 Gamilon warships with a nova bomb in one of their main staging areas.
I have also engaged over two battles 100 Gamilon warships and destroyed all of them, in total that is 170+ warships that have fallen to my navy and nova's. I have launched an offensive with the bulk of my fleet into Gamilon space and taken over one of their worlds, there is currently a 45 ship enemy fleet and a few lone straggelers in this system and that is after I destroyed a 48 ship battlefleet and two 13 ship task forces in the very same system.

Intel reports say that the Gamilon have 90 ships massed in the Lundra system...this means that the known ammount of Gamilon ships to around 150 to 160 ships.
That is amazing considering I have in one way or another destroyed around 50 of their planets and three entire star systems that belonged to them were destroyed via nova bombing.

HOW can they muster the resources to keep such a large fleet when they are still at war with the EEE empire yet I have only 75 ships with over 100 planets under my control and I only bring in about +8000 minerals per turn?!!!!

Edit: Note most of my worlds have mineral mines or monoliths in large numbers PLUS other resourcing operations. I also have the most updated resourcing systems. Shouldn't I be getting far more resources per turn?

Do the Gamillon have maintenance aptitude?

High AI bonus multiplies resource, research, and intel production.

It is not unexpected to be able to support 300 to 400 ships by that point (or even more), on a larger map. Especially with a really cheap 10% reduction in base maintenance rate (15% instead of 25%, for 500 points).

The AI can support a lot more ships because low/med/high bonus means it gets 200/300/500 percent of the resources that their planets produce.
