Whatever you say, Fyron. That wasn't the first time PPBs spanked me. I actually left that game when his fleet of PPB ships completely obliterated my fleet of DUC ships. So, no, DUCs were not better. And I'm not the first here to say that PPBs are a cheap victory.

What I don't like is that unless you do every move, every research, ever colonization with precision you are dead meat like I was. That is what I was comparing to Starcraft. Starcraft you had to be precise down the the second. In this you have to be precise with every move.

This is not really a strategy game at all, it's a test of who knows what research is the best combined with the luck of finding colonizable planets. A lot of research tech is just plain useless other than to waste your time.
