I like Yor very much as my base for custom : Ion drives from start is great. +production and minituarization bonuses. Barren world colonization is actually quite nice as well, plus slow down of enemy ships in your area . Only prob with them is puny PQ 10 home world.

I had the same problem too .Started battle of the gods scenario witn on 'masochist' difficulty (mainly just to try some end game ship design) ,bought a few powerfull fast ships right of the bat and started blockading and killing other races ships. Even though some of them all managed to grab a few planets and had all tech researched they kept sending unprotected transports and escorts for a while . I parked my battleships near their planets and
