It is the most boring in my opinion. Scores low too. ;)

It's somewhat less boring when all the other options have been *ahem* REMOVED for you by the AIs. ;)

I disagree...it's still just as boring even then.  :LOL:

Indeed. I was surrounded by Drengin who had decided that I had to die (I managed to stave this off til endgame by trading heavily with them). They had ridiculous military might, while I was still stuck farther back in the weapons branches. The only way I saw to win was Tech victory, which I went for and managed to grab right as they were knocking down my doors. The "win" consisted of me pushing Turn over and over... and over.
Honestly, I think it would have been more interesting to fight it out and lose, than win and be bored. Going out in a blaze of glory sounds a lot better than transcending mortality by pushing a button.
I've disabled it for all future games.

The most useful thing for upping your mil rating is the Spin Control Center. Using that, you can stave off war with an empire with 10x the military might you have. I ignored it for a while when I first started playing, but it's become one of the most important structures. Then you can decide when and where to go to war.

It wasn't boring.  All the other races fought each other while I made techs, I killed off the drengins, and the Yars, It was either kill the Thalans and become evil or win with tech.

In the end I owned 80% of the galaxy.

Main issue is, the Thalans had a decent military at the end, better production, and good techs.

I didn't feel like getting in another fight, esp. since I had to repel two waves of pirates from the Yar and Dregin collapses.

The pirates took out quite a few production areas, and quite a few fighters.  I was losing money fast, had to keep selling techs to small races to get money, and had to cut military spending.
