But with SEIV I may so in Strategic combat I'll probobly do what you sugjest.

But I'll more likely play the games types that allow tactical combat.

Tactical is too unfair on AIs. You can always win with far poor ships. Besides, strategic gives an extra level of roleplaying. Optimal ship design, fleet composition and fine tuning of strategies is a more dignified occupation for the supreme ruler of Universe than jumping from ship to ship anf fire every gun manually

I find it more fun to roleplay while watching my fleet and the enemy fleet clashing with all their guns blazing.

I have lost quite a few tactical combats even while outnumbering the enemy so I don't consider it unfair at all. Especially if I get one of the mods that makes the AI smarter because then they'd be on an even footing.

In fact I have more fun losing a tactical combat then winning a strategic combat because I can watch WHY and because it's just so much more fun to me.

Of course I know that in multiplayer games I'd have to use strategic but when I am playing by myself or in hotseat mode I love to watch the battles play out and like to fire the guns manually.
