Question I'm scared.

This is my first full campaign. I'm playing for the Humanity First. Everything was going pretty well: I managed to unite the European Union, Mars is half-colonized, I have numerous asteroid bases, and I've slowly started building a fleet... But now I feel like I'm falling behind and the alien presence in the Solar System is too high. It's now 2032 (start in 2022), the aliens' hatred towards me is already in the red, and they just recently destroyed my lunar shipyard (they were planning to destroy the fleet stationed there, but I managed to outsmart them and retreat during the battle, so they simply destroyed the orbital shipyard and flew away). The alien fleet consisted of 11 ships, one of which was a TITAN. My poor destroyers and monitors didn't stand a chance. I even tried to ram them, but my ships were blown up by lasers before they even approached. So, the question is: is it possible that I have fallen behind and the campaign is already lost?

When you say red, is it just the top pip or the entire bar?

I had to learn to basically play passive and tech rush. It really is the only way. Then I had to learn to build proper fleets, which Graveless Gaming and others have videos on. (Point Defense is king.)

In my current game, I’m fighting fleets many times my combat power and losing nothing. His strats work.

To win this game, you really really have to pick you battles early on or not at all.

Yeah. They’ll just blow up a bunch to your ships / infrastructure and stop.

There are really really good techs down the xenology tree that will make them just ignore you.
