I'm curious on the design rational behind 'the birth of space piracy'. you can't guarantee mil techs as early as it can appear, and forcing an empire to build a fleet early pigeonholes them with strict resource requirements and upkeep costs impact economic flexibility. on another note my games lately have had sparse energy resources to mine, which is the limiting factor to mining stations, and well everything really given how everything pulls from energy compared to minerals. delaying colonisation is a pretty great strategy for teching up though. far better than watching months getting added to techs as expansion waves roll out

starting corvette was 24 power my prior game, piracy fleet is 200-300 so you'd want at least 10 no? 63 minerals/ship iirc means 441 minerals into responding to a fixed event when resource usage is critical in expanding i get the whole force a player to make a fleet it's just weird that otherwise i wouldn't make one until much later given default ai attitudes

yeah i'm only thinking end-game techs and 400k fleet blobs where rock paper scissors falls apart due to raw numbers

artificial strength is what ais work off of so has importance in the grand scheme my point was more how you're remaking an entire fleet in the space of a month or two

And my federation probably consists of 3 of the 4 most powerful non-fallen empires on the map at this point, including myself. I thought I could just turn enough of the map into a federation that I could win that way. But that doesn't look like it is about to happen.

it's a really big advantage to go with the minimum amount of colonised systems until you've got everything you want researched. try a game sticking to two systems and notice the absurd tech advantage you'll have over neighbours - abuse frontier outposts for border control

that takes time and pop escalation factors into it, your fleet cap will be lower but tech will give you the edge in holding aggressive ais at bay
