I think you have another choice, go for the enemy planet.
Not sure how it will play on this map however

It is obvious Planet Wars haven't winning strategy.
it is game without full information. quality of your orders depends from opponent's orders which you don't know.

What about the strategy where you slowly capture a neutral in multiple turns, ie send fleets of 1 to it.

By the way, why is it so surprising that some maps don't have a dominant strategy? If you had a map with just the two starting planets, then there wouldn't be a dominant strategy (assuming planets have same growth rate and number of ships). If you know that there is no dominant strategy and you assume that your enemy is rational and also knows this, then your best strategy is to force a draw. Essentially this is a version of Prisoner's Dilemma.
