jackI decided my best, easiest, hope was to take on one of the fallen empires before the awakened, having reached the fleet strength where they were likely to do so.
Unfortunately, it failed.
This development was very dramatic. A pop up described the fallen empire, saying having previous been moribund and uninvolved, their ships had been seen moving about the galaxy, and now they announced their return.
Their fleet power, previously two 50k fleets, went up to four 50k fleets, and then four 80k fleets. OK, um, that will be a challenge. My entire naval strength is only a bit better than one of those fleets.
I think my best tactics are:
* avoid engaging except when I have an advantage
* build up my fleet significantly over my fleet cap, the negative income from upkeep will go away when the fleet gets casualties
* wait for federation president, than massively build up the federation fleet (which may about equal my own strength)
* bait them with faster corvette fleets hitting their territory and if they pursue, try to keep their fleets busy chasing where they can't engage
* if I get a chance, get it and take their systems when their fleets aren't there
I don't have an open ascension perk left (I'd been saving one for terraforming). I don't know if it's worth taking the +30% against fallen empires perk, or if I'd be better taking one of the vanilla perks, or making sure I get the anti-end-game-crisis perk.
