Mid-game indecision.. what would you do?

Mid-game indecision.. what would you do?

I've got a good game going right now on a Large map with all normal opponents but I can't decide how to "close" my strategy.

I figured a "What would you do?" topic might be interesting to see how people play and maybe get some new ideas.

This is the situation as it stands now: Large galaxy, playing as Terran with 6 normal opponents. Currently dominating social production, manufacturing, trade and economy. Recently took the lead in research and population. Military exists but is unfocused and consists of a handful of defender and star fury fleets to deter military aggression.

Treasury has about 7000bc and banking about 150bc per turn with 50% tax rate and 75% approval.

Research is heavy on trade and diplomacy, also ahead on research, miniaturization, engine and sensor techs. (already have eyes of the universe). The only military techs have been acquired from minor races.

I'm personally thinking of switching gears to a tech heavy military conquest, but I'm also pondering going for an alliance victory and having proxies take out the militaristic Drengin and Korx.

I would take the opportunity to kick back and grab a tech victory while having the other races kill eachother where possible Like a previous poster said...have a major race fight a minor race, give the minor race a few ships, maybe a planet...you get the idea.

Once that's going and you solve your money issues, reinforce your borders with some influence starbases, buy a research mine if you can, and start down the path to becoming gods.

Though the thought of my mighty Arceans being ruled over by one of those purple Akilean freaks is heart wrenching.
