But with mechanema I managed to find some hexes that could give me more resources and got a discovery early that gave me 5 science, what could early (in the first 3 rounds) give me the oportunity to buy advanced mining and overpower my material gain, so Mechanema's material problem was solved and turned to be a really massive construction machine.And the Rho Indi Star Bases are really a necessary aid on sinse they are cheaper than cruisers and better than interceptors to defend the precious hexes gained, I think the problem with the ancient hive would be solved cheaply and more effectively if you invested in star bases other than cruisers for this purpose.
