Had a game myself--wanted to try out the start where your species is the vassal of a Fallen Empire. And I think I completely wasted it, because they gave me a fleet of their ships (worth about 5.4k) a year in and I just used that as an opportunity to not build any ships for a while rather than steamrolling my neighbours. Mind you, I guess I wouldn't have had enough influence to really do well there anyway, and while that start gives you the "Scion" casus beli on all other empires, using that just causes the other empire to become a scion of your overlord--you don't gain anything from it personally.
