Thanks for the tips. I've spent quite a bit of time looking at the advice on other sites, and I think I have a sorta ok handle on the game. Trouble is, EVERY game ends the same way. Someone declares war on me, and then sends in fleets to wipe me out. Takes me 6 or so turns to crank out one Medium ship, and they have several FLEETS of ships, all with better weapons, defences, etc. Fun game up to that point, but then it just turns into a wasted aft

Picked up GC3, I really like it, but I'm also seemingly really bad at it. I can NOT figure out how to do well in this game. No matter what I try, my pathetic little civilzation becomes the laughing stock of the galaxy and I've flushed another three hours down the drain. How do the computer players do it? What can I do to advance as fast as they do? What are some basic strategies to at least get on even footing with the computer fairly early on?&nb
