Concentrate your reseach on four areas. PDC (to eliminate the enenmy missles/fighters), combat support (ECM), armor (Stealth and scattering armor have even more defensive bonuses), and sensors (Combat sensors make your direct fire weapons more accurate).
Once you have a decisive advantage in these techs, you will find that your smaller fleet of smaller ships is cutting through the enemies larger fleets of larger ships like butter, even if they have better weapons and shields. Do this and you will be back here in two weeks asking why the AI is so easy and how do you make the game more of a challange.
