Ancients will only attack you 1 at a time and 1 ancient is easy to beat, especially if you're the defender so the ancients will basically give you free glory.
Ancient Swarm ships are always 'defenders', even if they are attacking you on your hex (See also on Pg. 7 of the rules), unless you meant something different, then ignore me :p.
Single ancient ships are still easy to beat though, especially since they move before the round starts and you get an entire round to prepare for a battle which includes building ships on the hex they just invaded.
Depending on your luck and military strength it may take a while until you can reek the benefits of the hex, though
