Determined Exterminator - Is this a valid strategy?

Man, but I did not attack anyone, when I said xeno cum I just joked to them, but they still declared war on me the whole game... no one had humor in that galaxy!

Nope. You do not get a +33% damage without being...well...fanatic about purification. You can not hide that.

I think the peak has been reached already. It's either:

Capture/uplift a species only to genemod them to being delicious and turn them into livestock, or make them into slaves and sell them back to their own empire.

I still think the peak would've been a Bioreactor thing I saw mentioned. It doesn't work NOW since Matter Converters don't exist and Bioreactors only for machines, but the idea was take a species, Livestock Slavery/Processing Purge them for food, put that food in a Bioreactor for energy, put that energy into a Matter Converter for minerals, process those minerals into alloys, and then make ships out of that species to fight their empire.

One day. One day.
