Upgrade your planet, build cap factory and extractors, build your cap (lots of threads on which one to), make a couple scouts and some of the Cobalts or cobalt equivalents. Send exactly 3 to planets (typically asteroids) with 1 light and 1 siege: this is just enough to beat them.

What do you upgrade your planet on? Population?

Carbon while 3v2 is good enough to beat them for some races (esp. the advent, maybe TEC) you will lose a frig in the process, and holding of a few seconds to avoid that at all costs is worth far more than spending an extra ~400 cred in cost that could be spent on more pressing thingS (like making sure your asteroid doesnt bleed you dry of cash when its done)

As TEC, i send in two, pick off the siege frigate then send in the colony frigate. The light assault frigate will target the colony ship but will die before it gets 1/5 through the hull so i don't lose any ships and expand a little faster.
