Yeah, colonize every dirtball you come across.

Once you have PD5, PPBs, go for planet utilization, and convert those crappy planets into Optimal, 255% resources, breathable worlds .

Get stellar manip and crush asteroids into planets. Colonize them .

Then build some Dyson spheres and colonize them .

Yes, the map should flash "COLONIZE" at the beginning of every turn, just in case you forget how important it is

Personally, with that all that good ship building stuff already done I'd branch out into something diffrent.

Construction is good - build some maintenance free units rather than ships, but I would be building up a plantary assault force - troops and landing ships to steal the AI's planets. If you spend some time and resources on this you should be able to take entire systems from an AI just a few turns after finding their space.

I would also considr Intel - gt yourself up to level 2 or 3 and build up a big intel output. Most AIs don't develop much intel until later and you can steal ships / planets from them quickly and safely with a good intel base bhind you.

There is an exception to every rule. Including this one.
