Re: To players in PbW games I was in
Well, everything I'd seen so far was pretty small, especially compared to a baseship.
And the Battleship count is more like three or four hundred, though it has been greater in the past. And all the Baseships are, I think, still on mothballs as a consequence of the retroseries process. I'm not sure anymore, but I think the latest were ready to be gifted to my 'outside contractor' for the addition of the Talisman.
The homeworld population is not so big a deal. My own strategies involve depopulating mine around mid-game anyway. It's the anger hit your people taken when the homeworld goes down that makes it such a nice target.
And, still, I don't know that I would have gotten to yours, for one reason or another, and I don't believe I would have beaten you three either. At best I could have bought more time for Rorg, who might have been able to prepare a fleet large enough to completely waylay Nyx. Hell, he still might. I have no idea what he's been up to.
