i do not know if i had played it wrong.pick the exiles when there is a "neutron bomb canceller". forgot the name as i only played it quite a few times.. so that in early turns it is extremely hard to conqueror your hex. when it comes to a new turn, populate the orbital again with the colony ship.
does it violate rules? it didnt matter in the vanilla game as no one really builds orbitals nor it shoots.
-------------
but i would say i agree that exiles are weak in smaller games, especially when you throw in all those ancient variants and new hexes. what is better than ancient hunting when you have a million of them out there yielding like 5vp per turn? building those 1vp merry-go-arounds...?
