6. Most importantly, during the Starbase building phase, i built as many stealth ships as i could.
I used these throughout the game to destroy other construction ships, pillage warp lanes (all of them and pillage improvements (for Credits and to disallow the AI civs from using resources). You really need to keep up with this in order to beat the civs at Deity.
Were you playing with the mod that gives planet defense ships see stealth? otherwise using the stealth ships is kind of a "cheat" as the AI never uses them and never builds scouts to detect stealth ships. Allowing the steath ships complete immunity from any counter attack.
Granted, I've never tried FF at diety so maybe they are balanced at that level.
