If you want colonies but are not ready to resolve crises militarily and tell them who's boss?  Build size 3 colonies and do not let any of them grow to size 4.  Try to colonize worlds that have no growth without Hazard Pay.  That means avoid habitables.  If you have a habitable that will grow on its own, be prepared to remove Spaceport at times to stop and reserve colony growth.

Some of the fleets appear to be on par with 300+k bounties, so fighting crises fleets that attack bigger colonies seem like an endgame thing like flawlessly killing any 350k bounty, or Ordos farming.

Once you are ready to confront Colony Crises, start growing your colonies like crazy.

Honestly, that's...kinda sucky.

The Persean League can't defend its own turf but it can spare massive warfleets to beat down some random nowhere colony?

Yeah, I felt beat down. I've never seen fleets these sizes, and then they materialize three of them with support fleets on top of my level 5 colony. It seemed like the amount of money Perseon league would have to spend on just supplies alone to siege for a year? Not even talking about salary for crew. Whatever. Just gonna start a new game.

Yeah, I was a little too excited on starting the colony.  I found a good jungle planet that was gonna grow and supply money to grow my volcanic heavy industry planet without the hazard pay. Normally i wouldn't start colonies so soon, but i was excited.

I've started a new game since this. Still just messing around with my smaller fleet. Just trying to grow. No good ships yet, and every ship that's even slightly good are all locked behind spending story points to get, but story points are way too important to use on anything other then a useful capital ship. Is that something that was changed? Every good ship requires story points to invest in it to get it working.

I'm guessing you're referring to recovering ships with story points, from derelicts and the like? Look to see if it gives bonus XP. Any % bonus XP is both a story point discount and a power accelerator, because story points are unlimited and skills are very strong.

You can also find ships in markets (the black market often has a wide selection) and from contacts.

you can access to faction armory if you have good relationship with them.
and more if you're on commission.

using story point in trivia thing also give you an xp boost it not that bad.

or visit a bars someone might offer a good ship too you. especially hedgemony.
