When you invade a planet the enemies shouldent be able to build/buy units while under siege. I had a full fleet + hero invading. The next turn, ai builds a full stack with double military power and destroys my fleet. I play on easy difficulty and im getting irritated by this lol. I want to like this game. But it constantly punches you in the stomach.

That's just how it is - ships are built on the surface, not in space. The game doesn't do "bombardment" so you might as well get used to this risk.

Infantry win firefights. Tanks win battles. Artillery win wars.

When your in orbit, enemy worlds are blockaded preventing their access to strategic resources for better ships.

Cmon... If you invade a planet, wouldent you target their ability to build spaceships be the first priority?. Dosent make sense in real life or in the game. Give the player some options here. Like in galciv 2 were you could attack in different forms. Maybe target said factory(s) Hangars whatever it is. Rather then let the ai get away with cheap game mechanics.

I'd imagine making sure they don't shoot back would be your first priority in fact - you're too busy bombarding defensive positions to focus on factories (which don't even need to be big - you need an empty field, done)

Spaceship on an empty field? We are not even able to build a Car on an emtpy field in decent speed.^^

And in fact military factories are the #2 Target and are imidiatly attacked after you destroyed the defense posiitons in that perimeter.

Still, someone would notice that big ass battleship being built. Not one either but five. Given the scale of these ships. You could probably see them fairly easy from space. Its not like they toss a camo net over the thing and be undetected by the invader.
