Methods of Claiming Territory

I've been wondering, what's the best way to stake your claim on a swath of space?

I've tried colonizing a parameter around my HW. But people don't seem to respect that. They charge in and pop drop me if they don't like me, or whine about my choices if they don't want to fight immediately.

I've also tried colonizing only the worlds I can use. But if I'm next to an -f he may just sneak in and take my land anyway. Which has happened before.

The only other option is mine fields, but non-SD's using mine fields is not so easy in the early game. Scout hulls are junk for setting mine fields, only the frigate can do a good job early game. And even then it's a costly affair.

My only other idea is to colonize all the reds with 25,000 per planet. But that would drain my economy horribly.

What method works best? Or have I missed one?

Suggestions?

Rule 1: "Pillage, THEN burn!"
