<Snipped quote by duck55223>I see.
Well, the problem is that 2500 ships is already stretching it as far as things go for controlling my tiny but still multi-lightyear diameter territory.
It may be easier if I'd have faster FTL drives but slow interstellar travel is kinda part of this civ's style (at least in the beginning).
Perhaps I can reduce the size/power of my ships?
My peacetime fleets sporting almost entirely just Frigates may even make sense since their job is to patrol the area than fight wars.

I guess that could work.
