He's got a speed advantage over me (13000 tons @ 7000km/s to my 15000 tons @5200km/s). But my other tech seems to be better than his. Recently had an engagement with him. I lost 4 7500 ton destroyers to his 6 ships (spread between 13000 and 6500 tons). I ran out of missiles and evidently he did too as he ran for his homeworld. I let him go because I needed more missiles.
One thing I did differently in this game was to immediately send the ships that experienced speed loss towards the incoming JP. I think this managed to suck his ships closer than they might have come. I had disabled 2 ships with missiles and ran them down to finish off with beams.
The other 2 NPRs are neutral/friendly and I've been working the diplo teams to improve that.
