Its great! I took the technology route! I am king of technology in the universe, but at the expense of not being able to be financially rich, nor can I manage a massive fleet. I am maintaining about 1/3rd the income of the richest empire. I am also maintaining about 1/2 that of the strongest military. I will say this though, not only would you not want to go up against even a single ship of my Navy, but I can get massive cash for a battle on a whim for selling my technology to races I consider friendly! It is the only way I can compete, but I am surviving!

I am probably the only Empire that can go up against the Dread Lords and possibly win too with minimal loses. I sent the Dread Lords from the #1 militarily in the Universe to #5 using my two specialized ships above! That Medium sized ship by the way is incredibly expensive at about 22,500 bc, so I can only afford 1, but it does the job. It is severely damaged in my current save game, but it is still alive!
