Hello, I recently started a match in easy with the Riftborns, and spawned almost next to the Cravers. While I did expect to spacebattle in a few turns after my first encounter with them, I barely manage to hold against this early agression.

Before that I was focusing on expanding (almost avoiding any planet that it isn't infertile), research, and a little bit of industry. But I'm not sure what I suposse to do with this race (I don't know what they are REALLY good at. Creating time anomayies it's REALLY good tho). Should I focus on the military from the get-go? My match it's not lost yet (I think), but it left me with a feeling of not knowing exactly what I should be doing (since I lost a system wich I retake with tooth and claw from them).

Any advise will be appreciate it!
