More is better, especially if you get more the way the soviets did 
building tanks near the end of WW2 - superb, robust, affordable tanks 
in vast numbers. High in quality and large in number. The Germans, 
OTOH, seemed to produce excellent tanks with good guns and tough 
armour but they seemed to be more expensive to produce. The Americans 
had the third strategy - crappy tanks in incredible numbers and an 
airforce to kick butt. 

Basically, build more vehicles with heavy armour and a heavy throw 
weight	or a lot of torps and beams. Let him use his superior thrust 
to tour the universe - he still has to come to where your formation 
lives and there you have the armour and FP and maybe numeric 
advantages too. Fight the fight on YOUR terms, and your enemy will 
have a hard time winning.
