Being aggressive early is rarely beneficial in games with more than 2 players, unless you are isolated. The problem, as others have mentioned, is inviting a 2-front war, which you can never survive early in Eclipse.
If you're attacking early, you should be controlling your backside access so that its impossible to be attacked on a second front. If you're opening paths to TWO opponents, you're just asking for trouble.
Eclipse does not simply allow anyone to attack you while you are fighting someone else, wormholes dictate who can attack you.
If all these systems have been explored already, then we aren't talking about early anymore.
