Generally, good diplomacy with neighbors is the best early method.

For games where that doesn't work (or isn't allowed), power is the best method. Be stronger than the neighbors - or be tri-immune HE with good econ settings. Wink

Mines is one option for establishing your land grab. In that case, SD is the best choice for the PRT. However, using a decent HG/HP combo with start at 3 checked and cheap con will get you to the frigate and minelayers quite quickly.

Lastly, you can use xray lasers on DD hulls with maneuvering jets early on and destroy anything that enters your desired space - alternately, do the same thing with yaks if you are WM.

One other note is race design - more races end up right shifted in all three variables since more points are gained there for other things - go left for one or 2 variables and your planets are not very attractive to other races.

Though we often ask how and why, we must also do to get the answers to the questions.
