I think it would be more accurate to say the relays merely sped up the process. Looking at how long it took the reapers to arrive analog style in ME 3, it wasn't all that much slower on a galactic time scale.

Maybe you should make an "Art of War for Stellaris" one day, for the most elementary Stellaris warfare concepts. The categorization of auxiliary slots usage into 3(.5) types, the strategic positioning of gateways in relation to jump drives, and even the integration of battle tactics and relay placement never really occurred to me.

Unless they did a pathing update (doubtful) ships will use relays even if it takes them through a wormhole across the galaxy, so long as that path has relays. Its a real problem especially if you're a trade empire

Since the game was released I've used the exact same fleet strategy: 1) a ratio of 16:8:4:2:1 in fleet composition 2) an equal number of weapons that target each of shields/armor/hull 3) maximizing overall fleet speed as much as possible So when the combat rework happened I was annoyed I was going to have to figure everything out all over again. Turns out, I didn't need to change a single thing lol. The above might not be the perfectly optimal strategy in any given patch but it's still really good and makes things way simpler for me.

This strat, combined with just generally being better at the economy management than the AI (at whatever difficulty you're playing at), will literally always work. If you have more stuff than the other guy, and your stuff is well-rounded enough to not be hard-countered by anything, it's pretty hard to lose, only massive tactical missteps can cost you a war.

This actually helped in understanding the connection between Hyper relays and war strategy. The biggest downsides of gateways in my opinion is that they cause heavy lags, especially in multiplayer.

@miskakopperoinen8408

Speed in space is a bit of a weird thing. The only real way to not have exquisitely fast relative motion between any 2 objects in space is for them to practically be flying the exact same path to the same direction at the same speed. What will rule in space warfare will be delta-V, or the aggregate ability to change velocity, thrust vectoring, or the ability to direct the accelerating force and momentary top thrust for emergency maneuvers. This is an interesting combo, because the rocket types currently known to be plausible never combine all 3, and often have various drawbacks. For example, photonic drive and ion drive have the highest specific impulse and as such highest delta-V (Solar sails and magnetic accelerator stations excluded), but they have absolutely abysmal thrust. You simply can not pull maneuvers that require agility with those drives. However, their high specific impulse, especially in photonic drive's case, allows for long and complex flights with extreme top velocities. Chemical rockets have gargantuan thrust and are thus agile and maneuverable, but the specific impulse is dismal. Complex flights and especially high top speeds are impossible with them. Nuclear pulse drives, or Orion drives, rank inbetween. Their specific impulse is good, but not as good as that of ion drives, while they also have decent thrust. Problem is, the thrust is provided by nuclear detonations. This means that the spacecraft is huge and has heavy radiation shielding by necessity, as otherwise it would quickly fry itself. The impact dampener system also needs time to cool off, and can not offer fectored thrust which means that turning is a complex and hard maneuver. You can build up speed with low thrust systems by accelerating the spacecraft to high orbits or higlhy elliptical solar orbits, but this has the downside that their flight paths are both essentially public information and extremely predictable and the engagement windows is short, with the added downside that with elliptical solar orbits the spacecraft will spend most of the time in a probably inconvenient transit either in or out of the inner solar system.
