So I used to do okay at this game against Easy AI (ok I'm poo poo at the game) but ever since Heralds came out, their new and improved AI has been utterly destroying me mostly on the back of them having decent ships and keeping them grouped up. Whenever people post on here about getting 2.5k scale ships and supports that are size 250 I'm just thinking wtf because I never even get close to that level of economy. I've never gotten up to Ringworlds or anything and the maps I'm playing on simply don't seem to have enough planets to support that amount of warfare. Is everyone playing on giant, multi-galactic maps or something?

What's the general flow of gameplay that people are using? At the moment, I'm trying to scout the galaxy early on, pick a decent scaling modifier planet or a level 3 resource that looks good, grab that and then backfill all of the lower level planets needed to level that up. Once that's done, find another high level planet to do the same on. I have real trouble getting lots of Labour in my empires, and I don't think my ship designs are good enough to make up for the lack of numbers.
