About the technology, I'm always late in the military tech and my battle hammers can't beat a deathknight. And how can you quickly repair a starbase or ship? the starbase seems to take 100 turns to heal and the enemy always attack it.

But then the ai will also have the dreadoughts. And thchnology still advances. And what about the other techs? If you only try to get the ships what abou medical techs or trade improvement techs?

The fact about AAM is that it boost incredibly your military rating, especially if they are orbiting your planet. As your military rating will skyrocketing, the AI won't try to intimidate you.
And AAM do lots of damage. Sure they are one shot weapon, but it can really help you. And I don't think there are ships that have the same attack rating than the AAM.

And the AAM have an attack of 100 for a cost of 300 when the Excalibur (most powerful ship you can have) has an attack of 80 for a cost of 3000.

What are AAMs? And I have noticed that no matter how good you are against a medium ai if you start in a bad position you are doomed. Let's say you chose few inhabitable planets and you start with a level 16 planet and thats it. And the enemy starts with a level 18 planet and gets another level 18 planet. Now they are going to have over twice your production so how can you beat them? Once I only had 2 planets and the enemy had 6 because they were all around him.

I used an antimatter missile with an attack of 192 outside the planet to attack the enemy dreadnought with 18 defence and 80 life. How come it only lost 40 health? shouldn't it be destroyed?

True.

I don't know. But even if it costs you 2 AAM to destroy a Dreadnought, it is still a good bargain.

Doesn't 2 anti matter missiles cost more than a dreadnought?

And how come the enemy ships have more hitpoints and attack than My ships? The robot race's deathknight had 111 health!

A little more. But that doesn't really matter since you can have the 2 AMM with 2 planets

Race bonus + shipyard bonus perharps.

I don't understand what that means.

If you have only one planet, the time to build 2 AAM will be the same than building one dreadnough.
But if you have two planets, you will be able to build 2 AMM before finishing building a dreadnough. Time is sometimes important for your survival

What if the enemy sends over corvettes for me to use up my missiles on?

Well, I don't think they will sent corvettes if they can generate dreadnought. but I may be wrong, as I tend to play staying out of wars and winning being allaied will all major races.

The evil races always win in my games. Why is that? They always have more deathknights and kills the altarians.

I play on normal. The evil races usually outbuilds the nice races in the number of deathknights and their ones have like 111 health where the good ones have 90 health. Also, How can the ai have so much influence? I out teched the altarians by 5 techs and they have almost all of the squares in their color.
