Elowan, use DUCs until you can get PPBs. Once you can safely afford to research APB XIIs, switch to them (and make sure to have Shield Depleter Vs too, and not Shield Disruptors, which have shorter range). Do not use any level lower than I think XI, which is the first to be better than the PPB V. Do not rely on racial weapons as a primary weapon. Most of them are quite useless.

Fyron - you must be a born teacher! Nice response.

DirectorTsaarx: I feel a little better now that I know that.

I appreciate the other answers as well - got the fog out of my brain.

I have been researching DUC -> 5 and PDC as well; missiles to CM IV; ships to LC. After that I concentrated on infrastructure and then went back to weps advances.

I've tried researching Adv Res 2 at the first of the game - but frankly - that doesn't make much difference until and unless you've a large population/planet base. I can use the extra 10th years(s) to bulk up my nasties until I've spread out some.
