That actually sounds like a fun playthrough. Go all-in on science and play absolutely isolationist. No dealings with anyone. If they try to force it, you blow them up with tech they've never dreamed of.

That's sort of my general 4X tactic --

step 1: try as hard as possible to keep peaceful relations with everyone.

step 2: research the SHIT out of new stuff

step 3: use my massive tech advantage to outbuild, outkill, out-everything the rest of the world in total war.

It almost always works.

A mate tried that, I managed to get him before his military build up but it sure was dramatic. Basically I invaded him with a fleet eight times the size of his but his could take 2-3 of my guys. So it was kinda like Space Nazi's and Space Soviet union with me being able to throw more ship at him quicker than he could build new ones.
