Ascendancy

Anyone else play Ascendancy? Its very similar to MoM, in that its a turn based civilization-type game... and also very like MoM in that the AI is crap. Actually the AI is *so* bad it makes the AI in MoM look like a genius.
But its still a fun game, so I tried to find a way to play it that was really challenging - so I tried playing only allowing myself to build small ships. They're *really* bad, by the time you have an engine/power/star lane drive, you only have 2 spaces to put anything useful in.
After a few attempts, managed to win using only small ships with the Antagonizer patch, on hostile, 7 species, size 2 galaxy (one above the smallest... the smaller they are the harder it is), never using my species' special ability. Just thought anyone else who likes this game might fancy trying this :)
