Excellent summary and tips, VP2!

I very much appreciate it.

I started a new game last week and seem to have finally turned the corner. At least this time out...

I am pretty far along in the game now. I have three battle ships and a ton of cruisers, destroyers, and corvettes. I think my fleet value is around 15,000.

I have my 5 core planets and 2 sectors one with 5 planets and another with 4.

I have two vassals.

Checking myself against the known aliens out there, I am better than all of them in terms of military - by far - except for one.

I focused on lasers and torpedoes and went for better military more often than not. Typically, in these games (like Civ) I advance pretty evenly. If I see a tech that's low value, I get it just to take it. Here, I didn't do that. I went for some of the bigger techs well before going after the low hanging fruit.

I haven't figured out how useful vassals are at the moment. One of them seems to do nothing, the other revolts every now and then.
