I think you misunderstood
This game is the most challenging so far and I'm at the medium settings I have no problems with that. Its just that I was so far ahead, technologically, that I should have been able to do much better that I did in my first combat....I had over 100 ships, over two dozen of those were dreadnoughts, battleships & battle cruisers; the rest were a mix of cruisers (gunships...walking cannons), light cruisers (performing as a fast attack ship...lots of movement) & missile carrying cruisers. I attacked his stack of 12 battleships and whammo, I was decimated. I know for a fact that I was WAAAAAAYYYY ahead tech-wise....that should have counted for something
