[Suicide Junkie]

Pretty good actually, I have control of about 5 systems (250 systems, 16 players), and have three colonies.

I've got two secret bases going up, one in a nebula, one in an asteroid belt.

Every AI has self-destruct devices & heavy shields, so I usually jump one or two of them with eight LC's.

I've been defeated twice, once by mines, and once by a fleet of equal size.

The mines incident destroyed my mobile space yard ship, and left the fleet crippled, but with two turns of repairs & some new recruits, they're waiting for a replacement SYS.

In the fleet battle, they had 4 LCs to my 7, and so I lost, destroying 2, and crippling a third (one component left). The main problem was my solo shield generators & weak weaponry (meson 2's VS AP 5's)

Life is a series of small victories with an occasional setback via Crushing Defeat.

Still waiting for a Crew converter to get researched. (what area is that under, anyways?)
