It was turn 82, not 100 when game ended.

BET is not an advantage in the beginning - it can help later, and it is not a super LRT, just an LRT that plays different and matches a different style of play. It can do some overall good in the right hands.

Golden era for my HE is battleship era where BET and flux caps do most good. Gateless is a factor entire game.

So ... you killed that JoaT with having bigger economy, more minerals, better technology and wider alliance or you killed it with that BET?

Best answer I can give is healthy eccon, friends, and strategy (timing, etc). There were diplomatic battles for non-committed players, etc. Joys of being scary is other side says 'we need to stop the monster'. Joys of diplomacy is one works for the common good to keep friends happy which may not be my individual good (tech order, etc).

I had lots to learn and made certain mistakes being a newbie.

JOAT was eccon ahead at beginning, probably not by much. He was cranking out ships well, in the end he was suffering mineral depletus (while I was saving up for endgame, better mine efficiency).

I had wider alliance, there were some complexities of diplomacy to get that (and try and keep it). I was doing most of the warship building and battling while my friends who were more late game strengths were building up strength (for late game which never came).

I hear some insist on HE 4% or 5% as somehow being best. I played 6%, in right hands may actually be better IMO (less early game weakness). I have heard some insist on certain comparisions between 5% and 6% that I have proven not true.
