HI Devin Bass and Welcome to the Forum
Try this for your next NEW GAME settings:
Player Settings: Starting tech Level MEDIUM. You will start with most the early Tech tree including destroyers. Level high will give you a Home World like se4 and tons of Tec's to mess with. It will be more of a death match against You and the AI, but what ever floats your boat
I play MEDIUM settings if I want a to end a game sooner, it cuts out most of the early builds
Technology: Set to LOW, you can research Tec's much faster.
I like this for No-Warp or not all warp games. It also works well in any style game
I agree with Mottlee, I also like the building up to the crescendo.
