@Alneyan:
Hehe, don't worry, you do not break my morale

I'm well aware that my ranking does not reflect my true strength. I realized that pretty soon after I took over. But that doesn't matter - I had a very interesting time doing diplomacy till now, staying alive with an empire of this size in a situation like that is an exciting challenge
But if you think that you can do anything in this conflict with merely a hundred ships and some... a bit small and technologically *not too far behind*...

If your fleet wants to be worth mentioning, that should be at least a hundred battlecruisers (or bigger) with cutting edge technology. Anything less loser would be able to crush with his "little" fleet he holds in *spare* to punish me if I dared to side with the Nix
So I'm quietly enjoying my neutrality, hoping that doom will pass and I may live a little longer
As for betting... well, no comment on who will win - I think I'm too much of an insider (almost literally)...
