Slynky vs Spoon - 2405.0: Slynky Surrenders

Good game, Spoon! I knew it was going to be tough when I saw that you started with 2 large breathables and a medium breathable in your starting home system. Ugh... Nearest thing of that size to me was 3 systems away.

On this Last turn, when you got my best mineral producer, I knew it was a lost cause. My mineral planets were SOOO bad...I had to have 16 miner ships just to keep a fleet of 60 destroyers in the air! Not counting my homeworld and the planet you clobbered, only 7 of my 41 colonies had mineral percentages above 2 digits and none of them with more than 6 facs.

I know you had your share of problems to overcome, too, as you had to go through 2 nebulae before you could get to a good system (4 out of 5 systems behind my home system had no planets). You played a good game and the jump on research (from your home system) helped you in the early battles. I could never really recover considering all the mining ships I had to build to try and keep myself in minerals.

Good luck in your journey up!
