 About 100 BB battle was decisive? What?!?  In medium game? Where went the 1000+ nubian fleets? 
Try winning intermediates and come back.

When my main opponent is losing his main worlds factories intact at an increasing rate, and he loses one of his major fleets, it is decisive - the last nail in the coffin. The game was pretty well decided even before that unless a major backstab took place.
My friends are tech ahead and now starting to crank out the warships full steam (Weapons is maxed out, Const will be soon).
As someone here said its best to try and win in your best era. That is what I was doing. Rather than focus on Const, I helped my allies do what they did best (weapons was maxed out, Const soon as well), while cranked out warships, doing energy and other needed techs, and forcing war.
My main opponent (who may have had a chance at early nubs) was forced to constantly fight from turn 30 onward full steam. Earlier, when I was closing on the enemy HW, a certain weaker friend (who I had saved from enemy early aggression) had dropped out at a crucial time, making my main forces suddenly both gateless and trapped by formerly friendly minefields. Otherwise game may have been over much sooner.
Why don't you quote numbers in a medium - normal density... including number of players, when you had to go to war full steam and what handicaps were imposed on you?
Our theme game forced 15/x/25 factory settings, which leaves less points for things like hab and tech.
