Odd, you did not negotiate with the Cybers, or offer them systems.
Unless you consider your offer to conquer the galaxy together a cease fire negotiation.

...evil talisman... bwahahahahaha... sure go a head and blame it.
blame it for 3 major battle loses where:
1. you were defender, had the first firing round advantage, and missed.
2. your ships orders caused them to fire at range 4 ships instead of range 0 or 1 ships.
3. you had superior numbers and tonnage.
4. you had the wave motion gun.

I suspect your ships and fleets were not fully trained. I was surpised by the lopsided victories.


The talisman is a nice touch, but I also had a few tricks in my ships that helped a bit. Also, the Cybers do have a great defense rating, and are fully trained.
