Hmm. Interesting question. So many variables. OK, I play this way -- after the AI opponent has declared war. 'Course, I've been preparing for this eventuality and intend to carry it to the bitter end - their destruction and my occupation of their territory.

Helps to know what targets to hit. You can probe their defenses with a sacrifice ship. You can learn what weapons they field by observing what happens to satellites of yours they encounter.
