it seems that the point that i have been trying to drive has not been achieved to the fullest possible extent. On the thing about the combat abilities of different tier levels, the gaps are not nearly as large as Kioskstrum said in actual practice. Generally, it takes only 10 ships of a lower tier level to beat one of a higher level, an example of this could be seen in my battle with the DCP, where even as a tier 3.0 empire, i could inflict one destroyed ship at a cost of 10 of my own. If you want the tech i suggest scaling back to 3, as the guidelines say that you can only start at 3,4, and 5. Don't worry about the criticism, i got it as well when i tried to overpower my empire by making them tier 2, you are already plenty powerful at tier 3, thats the only itime i could get into collaborative fictions. Your fiction shows promise, dont tarnish it by making an instantly tier 2 empire. After you make it 3, 4 ,or 5, i would be more than happy to enter a collaborative fiction.
