Single Sector Game Strats

from Stardock Forums
i have seen a few people post how they win games but regulate themselves to 1 sector. This is very easy to do on tiny/small. But on the larger map settings, how do you go about your build order? Obviously your going to need an aweful lot of starbases to keep up in production, and since your restricted to 1 sector, you wont get much tax revenue, so trade is your main income. The problem i seem to have is i cant get enough money to keep up in tech on the larger maps (plus the AI keeps trying to flip my planets). Any help would be appreciated (especially early game/when to build constructors/economy bar/how to make money) :)

Interesting! I tried this a couple times ages ago but I found Research was taking forever to do so I gave up! :notsure:

oops, ment to post this in the strategies forum.... woopsies. But anyways, since its here, i am playing on painful (maybe crippling, not sure) and i do ok until battleships come around. This is when things start to go downhill, and downhill fast. I think im gonna try setting the difficulty down first, then work my way up....

For those who are interested I posted ages ago a full After-Action Report on a single-sector game I won on Masochistic (with the help of a *great* start). On lower difficulty levels such a good start wouldn't be needed. I'll repost it in the Strategy forum single-sector thread.
