With pretty ordinary settings hard to imagine you could do it before the start of the endgame. If you blob very hard with total war, you could snowball pretty effectively. In my Exterminator game it's 2330, my fleet cap is 680 and I control about 1/3 of the galaxy. FE:s have about 200K fleets while I have managed to build barely 100K.

It can be done fairly early, if you build your fleets to counter the specific FE, the ai is easily outmanouvered so you only have to face one fleet at a time, if you are lucky you can even catch them with the jumpdrive debuff. I find i usually take more casualties from their stations than their fleets.

It is important to remember they dont rebuild their fleets, so if you got the time to do it over several wars it becomes easier. Early 2300 is the earliest I have managed with some heavy snowballing through conquest.

It's easier than it looks. AI sends its ships in two or three seperate groups so you just have to be strong enough to win against those. Usually 100k is more than enough since the player can counter FE fleets via builds and comps.
