If I heard someone mention your mother, I'd take them out too.

Of course.  We can't expect you to laugh out loud when you're gagged and tied to a chair...

I typically send out a fleet of 16 scouts as fleet 9 during a cease fire, and recall them two minutes before the cease fire ends, even if I still haven't found the enemy base. If I haven't, then I use the tailing strategy.

I often send out a fleet of scouts, too. I keep them out until one minute before, though, and sometimes after the ceasefire ends. Then I usually send out about 16 warships on search and destroy.

Whoa, way to bump a thread...

I quite enjoy just playing as if I were alone (ie defensive resource hunting) until I come across the enemy. Then I scramble the gigantic fleet I've been pouring money into to defend the nearest outpost, then use scouts or stronger ships (depends on my mood ) to see where the enemy is actually based, then wipe 'em out!

how do you guys get around the fact that on maps like this the ai spreads to all of the resources.  Typically, there will be a lot of extra moons, and the ais top priority is grabbing as many as possible. I've discovered that if I wait and try to tech up, the AI has already taken 5 pairs of moons and they can overwhelm me with ships.

And the funniest thing of all.... it doesnt even need the monns cos it's cheating like an idiot... it's just sitting there preventing ME from harvesting this moons! Bitch!

I'm using a lot of small fleets to harass the whole Map, diverting the enemy from my Base and I have something to do while I'm researching it needs a lot of controlling to have so much task forces moving around the Map

Umm, okay? How'd we get so off topic? By the way, the fleet of scouts doesn't quite work out with the borg, as their scouts are destroyers, and cost WAY f*cking more.
