After Magic eliminated Fremen, I was hoping that he will focus his actions on his closest neighbour - Pentaclevm WM, but instead he focused on me.

I couldn't attack Pentaclevm because they were much stronger than me. I had about 250 BBs in 2490, half of them was old ships armed with heavy blasters. Pentaclevm had about the same amount of more powerful dreadnoughts. I wonder why didn't they attack me right after Unnowns dropped?

Yeah, I was also afraid of Pentaclevm, because of their 200 or so dreadnaughts, albeit with lousy engines they had a whooping 18xGorilla shields. If they have decided to move on us after Unknowns shamefully abandoned the game - we would have standed no chance, but for some reason they stayed put and did not attack. Would love to know the reason! I kinda designed my own first nubians (N disruptor) to somewhat counter their design - have higher initiative, but probably that wasn't the best use of my resources.

Also, regarding MT, I really was unlucky. Bad idea to play with those random events. I only got the Enigma engines at the end of the game ~2513, with all my main fleets having slots wasted for Overthrusters. That's a big disadvantage, Fremen and Magic had even their battleship fleets properly equipped, also 30-40% cloaked, which gave a bit of trouble to see with pen scanners.

I had a lot of unprotected worlds without defences and was always afraid you'll send the fleets with stealth bombers to attack them

Yeah, fear is the only result I got. Anyway, after a single surprise attack you would know I'm there - send chaff to detect and kill me. It's really hard to run away in enemy territory with d### lousy engines. Oh well..
