Hmmm, But there's no multiplayer option, or we can have a go at each other =). It'll be cool if the computer does that or recognises that danger. Another thing is that it's not hard to get such a setup done in every quadrant you have a presence in. Eg send 1 ship with 20+ constructors to a quadrant you want to invade... you get the drift.
