ok, ive heard of ppl protecting their planets with freighters once the UP passes the law protecting them, i took it to another level... i started top left, yor under me, drengin under them, torians top right, and the other got killed before i found them by the yor and drengin... (large map btw) im going for the tech victory, the UP passes that law, i fill the borders with freighters(one per square in a straight line) and protect my WHOLE empire, so i spend NO money on military at all, except if i want more freighters to encompass more territory...

currently, im trying to protect the whole torian empire, my allies, who are currently fighting a war against the yor/drengin alliance... my tech is zooming, so is my social projects(terraforming in 40 days, no starbases ;)) easiest game ever...

i should mention that over 200(!!!im not kidding!!!) battleships from yor and drengin each are at my borders waiting to get in ill have to try that at masochistic lol
