We just finished our first game with a Doom Moon. Here's a brief report:
Eridani, bought a dred on turn 1. Attacked aliens in the I hex next to them. They won and got an 8 mineral discovery and took it.
Turn two the Eridani bought the Battlestation. They then move it into the center hex and win with ease. They ally with me (Magellan).
Turn three was boring. Turn four Rho Indy and Draco ally and attack the center hex. I had just sent all of my ships to fight an alien hive so Eridani was on his own with a Dred and a Battlestation.
Draco had PMs and Rho Indi had the +3 shield on his cruiser. Two Draco missile cruisers, two Indy cruisers and 2 Indy intercepters attacked.
The dred and battle station had enough shields to exactly counter the enemy targeting computers. The BS had a pair of +3 targeting computers, 4 hull, and 2 plasma cannons. Oh, and they bought a point defense as their very last action. Guess who won ;)
By the end of the game the BS was equipped as follows: 4 armor, -4 shields, +9 power (plus the built in 1), +6 targeting, and a pair of Plasma cannons. It was quite fierce when it was backed up by my ion missile (from supernova) slinging intercepters.
Eridani and I won the game quite handily and there was quite the debate afterwords if it was overpowered or not. We'll be trying it again soon though :)

your play group is crazy... why would the guy with the BS clearly winning at that point ally with you? maybe its just me and my friends but we dont share victory. so much so we don't even play with alliances anymore (not that anyone ever used them... everyone else must die)
