I'm currently ranked 100 on the leaderboard and still slowly climbing.  I suspect that as I get closer to the top I'm going to start getting trolled and attacked.  It will be interesting to see what happens.

Congradulations. My link quit working so I could not play anymore.

If I didn't sit at a computer all day connected to the internet I probably would have quit a while back.  But since I'm basically to the point where I start and upgrade and come back the next day to start another, it doesn't take much time.  I suspect that if I have to start getting involved in a lot of combats I'll not have the time and have to drop out myself.

I'm surprised you are 10, 000 ahead of me.  I'm at 62 stations, how many do you have?  I still do two upgrades a day.

I've got 56.  I've just got lots and lots of turrets.

Do you have unbuilt stations beyond 56?

I have one open slot.  I always keep one open in case I stumble upon a big open star somewhere but otherwise, no.  But some of my stations are up to level 20 on collection rate.

I've opted for lower value property mostly to avoid dealing with the combat, at a certain point your stations are collecting enough that the high value properties dont matter that much.
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

Yeah, for the most part I have as well.  At least for the stars.  Although I acutally have more theta stars than regular ones.  They are getting harder to find however.  All my non energy resource worlds are actually theta or above.

My current resource mix (30 stations) is
  • 1 Omega crew
  • 2 Omega credit
  • 2 Theta ore
  • 3 Omega ore
  • 1 Delta ore
  • The rest are stars of either normal or theta variety with two omega stars in the mix.

With your 56 stations and assuming yours are 3 - 5 points higher in upgrade than mine, I'm thinking that if I built a large navy and turrets I could jump 10k in power level.  I don't think I want to do that though.

I used to keep a spare station but I stopped playing on my PC and switched to my phone so I don't hunt or explore.

Probably.  I'm actually optimizing just to see how high I can get before I get hammered :) .  That means lots of turrets since you get 2 power points per turret but they only cost 3 energy.

And I might consider stalling out my power point growth and build up capacity and then make a big jump all at once.

When I was hunting I was working on building up one general so that I would have a great guy to hit back with if I ever got hit.  Fortunately I think our alliance is not on any target lists.  I have read that some guys plan in-alliance fights to build up xp for their generals rather than hunting because it is faster.  For hunting I am only interested in titans now for their J-cores.

I have 4 "average" (7-8 star) commanders.  I was mainly hunting octos for the XP but I've abandoned hunting due to lack of time.  I think If I start getting into fights I'll have to build up again.

I have 17 commanders.  16 are six star and command turrets and protection or exploration fleets.  The 17th is eight star and is the one I was building up buy hunting octos and every titan I could get.

Wow, that's a lot of hunting.  I never put that much effort into it.  I have one 7 star command and the other three are 6 stars.
