Current Game :
I'm experiemnting with 20 players in a small B5 galaxy - I started next door to the Vorlons who have proceeded to make my life difficult. The turn after meeting they blew every orbital structure I'd constructed to bits and declared war. It wasn't until I managed to get a few satellites with Medium BLast Cannons up that they stopped entering my homeworld's space. Every attempt at expansion has been destroyed by either the Vorlons, Grome or Yolu (all of them declared war as soon as meeting me).
At least my Homeworld is pretty much impentrable by now (to the AI anyway) even if I can't get anywhere else:
100 Large Sat sarrying large mount Particle Concentrators (in process of starting construction of Massive Sats carrying 2 Particle Concentrators)
4 Space Stations with Space Yards and Packet Torpedoes
3 Relay Stations with mixed Particle Concentrators and Packet Torpedoes
3 Star Bases each mounting 10 Particle Concentrators
A constantly changing number of Frigates mounting Particle Concentrators and Gaim Boarding Parties - I keep sending them off to try to capture passing ships, usually with heavy losses. Haven't relly captured much worth talking about either (a couple of levels of plasma, 1 level of laser, couple levels of ship construction - all the Groups with juicy weapons are either Allies or have those shield generating armors)
