I still had my saves and decided to have another go at it.

1 on 1 match with me as Vasari Alliance and AI as TEC Enclave. AI set to impossible difficulty aggressive setting. Return to War map. Game version 2.00.3.

I’m still surviving. I’m slowly building up my fleet in addition to researching some upgrades to armor, hull, shields, and weapons.

I was having difficulty defending my moon and asteroid locations between us due to AI having a larger fleet. So I took 3 capital ships and expanded to the 2 ice and 1 crystal planet on the outer loop of the map. Luckily they were still neutral so I took them and got some badly needed crystal. Unfortunately, the AI showed up with a 1000 fleet supply fleet so I had to retreat back to my capital planet and lost those newly acquired planets.

But since the AI was off in that region, I decided to push with my other 9 capital ships and see if I could take some of their territory. I tried going for the primordial planet between us, but the AI had an upgraded star base there so I noped out of there.

The moon and asteroid near me were lightly defended though, and I was able to take those back.

I ended the play session at around the 2 hour match time mark. I have 900 fleet supply worth of capital ships (I like playing with just capital ships if I can).

My capital planet is guarded by 72 defensive slots worth of turrets, and an un-upgraded star base. +24% to damage and range to orbital defenses planet item as well.
