New Strategy: Drones with Subverters !

I like to put subverters on satellites, then put a mountain of them at the warp points as a welcoming committee. "Welcome to the party folks, check your ships at the door". They work well on weapon platforms also, which extend their range even further than satellites do.

Yeah, you're smart enough to scrap what you can't afford. The AI doesn't, and soon chokes under it's own maintenance costs.

The drones and ships subvert what's already in enemy territory. So the AI can use them against you.

If someone insists on loading sats with the subverter ... I say, let him have some ships. Try 20 1 engine no weapon escorts. Or perhaps a dreadnought, 1 engine, lots of stellar manipulators ... no supply.
