[Q]

I understand your feelings Alpha.
After about 5 years of game the Rage still do well. Just one weakness I found until now: You gave them two designs for attack ships, one of them with a maximum size of a destroyer. In the later game or as in my case with full technology these destroyers are to weak compared to larger ships. Because of the limited space they do e.g. not have a combat sensor. I understand that you wanted large fleets of small ships, but destroyers are to small.
At the moment they are at war with almost every other empire but especially they are in a fierce combat with the Earth Alliance. They destroyed several of their colonies, however the Earth Alliance took revenge and burned some of the Rage planets.
The speech of the Rage is really great. I had quite a few laughs.
