need input about SE game :)

Not knowing the whole picture.
I would agree, you are in need of resources, you barely have more, then you started the game with.
What level of Resources Extractions where you, when you had level 4 Temporal Weapons? Your opponent then, the Hive only had level 2 Organic Weapons…. You may need some infrastructure techs to get the economy jump-started.

If you have any multi star systems, sure Urban Development would be great for the long run, but I believe you need Solar Panels for Rads to trade for minerals, so you can increase your fleet sooner. You are at war, man. Get on a war footing, as fast as you can.

FYI:
It takes a large investment of People, Time, Food, and Energy to Maintain Urban Construction on far away Colonies.

Mixed SAT fields should help you on the Defence, but with out CVs or Fighter Patrols at the warp point the AI will blow thru that.

It is tough to play the game you have now, you have many AI Players for a Centurion Map, and you only have 3 Systems. It looks like the Jraenar and the XiChung have a head start building up the infurstructure on a few Binary or Trinary systems themselves. You will need 3-5 more Systems to compete.

You have a tough an uphill battle, Oleg.

But it appears you have the Research Advantage for now. Also the XiChung and/or Jraenar already have another war as well.
