With both of us starting on the left side of the map, I think the turning point was when I kicked your out of the joint "Tau Cygna" system, and your reinforcements hit my mine field.
That one system led to the rest of the galaxy, which allowed me full access to all the ruins and technology while you remained trapped in the bottom corner.
I'll admit knowing you had the Talisman made me very cautious.
Thanks for the good game.
