"Gamey" tactics like "Rock, none" races

- Having three ship-training facilities on a sector is better than having only one.

And is a disadvantage, because it means you want to move your ships there, rather than to various dispersed locations, for training.

A centralised training center that can get you to 18% fleet-and-ship in two turns is nice, but also count the travel time to the sector from where a ship is bult, and thenf rom that sector to where the ship is needed.

- Using PPBs in the midgame is better than using anything else.

Call me crazy, but I think there SHOULD be a single "this is the best choice" weapon at any given stage of the game.

No it won't. Defense is useless against the Talisman. And doesn't matter much for seekers either (granted, seekers-vs-PDC is also kinda unbalanced, but ... *shrug* ...).

- Having 110% Maint Reduction is a huge advantage over people who don't realize how broken Maint Reduction is.

I disagree, somewhat; it's *an* advantage, but not a *huge* advantage ... because the points spent for +10% maintenance,might have gone elsewhere instead. And besides which, Maintenance reduction is easily modded for clearer balance (see P&N).
