First things first - radar coverage. [[Radar Tower]]s, [[Advanced Radar]]s, all that good stuff. You can't fight what you can't see.

Get some dedicated anti-air units and buildings. Each factory has a dedicated anti-air unit - the Airplane Plant has two. There are also five anti-air buildings, which are also highly effective.

Stingers are especially tricky at this part of the game, as they are the first type of tower that can fight skirmishers well. If you find yourself losing ground to skirmishers or expect them soon, it may be a good idea to put up a Stinger. Stingers do not do that well against lots of light units, so make sure to keep building lots of LLTs (or even add a Stardust).

*Build [[Fusion Reactor|Fusion Reactors]]. Make sure to scout before starting, as it can stop your unit production for a minute or so. If for example you scout your opponent switching to air or preparing a massive raid, it may be better to make sure you can counter their strategy before building it, as otherwise your efforts may be in vain.

As with expansion, it is much harder to punish greedy economy building than it is to do it yourself. Try to be as greedy as possible and learn what the safe limits are.
