I'd like it if the "equivalent", "inferior", etc. information showed a little more detail. In my latest game, in which I have enabled hyperlane only travel, I encountered a species early on and, using a frontier outpost and denying them passage in my space, sealed them off in two systems; they only have their home world and a red dwarf star with no resources in their space.
Nevertheless, despite the fact that I'm now sitting at 4 planets, a naval capacity that will surpass 40 as soon as my most recently colonized planet has a star base, and I'm churning out tech more quickly than they could POSSIBLY manage, I only just tipped the scale in technology from Equivalent to Inferior. My Naval Capacity and Fleet Power still say "Equivalent", and there's just no way that the first could possibly be true.
