How to increase naval capacity quickly?

[Zhugelaocunfu]

I am new player trying to rebuild the Roman Empire but my spawn sxxks (being completely surrounded by a FE and an advanced AI even with that neighbour setting turned off), ensign difficulty.Now I am at 225X ,only 4 colony and have to fight my way out in order claim more lands.The only thing I feel lucky right now is a random Archaeological site gives me psychic theory and I have already finished psychic ascension path.

I think I can destroy the advanced AI if I get much more naval capacity (researched that ancient laser and also Cruiser),but I don't know if I am really getting bad luck or something it just doesn't give me the tech roll to research any technology related to that.Is there any option (except supremacy tradition since I am already going for that) to increase my naval capacity?

Starbases with Anchorages (tho if you dont have a lot of systems thats unwise), get a small planet (build a habitat if you dont have available planet) and spam it with fortresses, this gives off soldiers who give you naval cap. Also, switch to belligerent stance (supremacist, if you can), this gives you a tad bit naval cap

[Elitewrecker PT]

The sources you can easily build are soldier jobs and starbase anchorages.

Along with the other advice, you can hit up the supremacy tradition first. And grab that perk that gives you +80 at the third ascension perk.

Or you can just ignore the cap for a bit if you have strong enough economy and can handle the penalties for a bit. You can dismantle ships after you do the thing (or they will probably be lost in battles anyways)

- Supremacy Tradition
- Belligerent or Supremacist(Requires Supremacy Tradition Fully Unlocked) Diplomatic Stance
- Technology (Social Science)
- Starbase Anchorages
- Soldier Jobs (Strongholds, Fortresses, Military Academies)

If you have any questions let me know.
