Default Re: Evidence That Your An Idiot Emperor If:

139. When you get your combat replay, you grab your joystick and fly your ships in combat. Your main strategy is trying to improve a killer joystick move to dodge enemy attacks. You are trying all the trick combat moves from Mortal Kombat III to see if they do anything cool in SE4.
140. You think Counter Intelligence I is the best mission, since you can complete it sooner than any of the others.
141. You confuse minesweeper with minelayer components, and are surprised when your attack fleet gets blown up when it was protected by several... empty minelayers. (I've done this.)
142. You cut back on engines on your ships in unmodded SE3 or SE4, to make room for other things and/or to save resources.
143. You argue for days and days on the SE4 forum about how Escorts with ECM III and only one engine are the ultimate game-winning design because you think they will almost never get hit. (Someone kept this up for an amazingly long time).
144. You keep sending speed-2 Proportions mod colony ships trying to cross black hole systems, but for some reason they never seem to be able to warp out.
145. You respond by sending warships to the black hole sector to try to blow it up with direct-fire weapons at it.
146. You consider your Green Giant system to be the best one in your empire, right after your Stellar Core system.
147. Your homeworld defense plans revolves around hoping alien invaders will be frightened by the unbelievable size of the Green Giant and the Stellar Core graphics.
148. Your homeworld warp point defenses consist of 100 satellites equipped with self-destruct devices and nothing else. You figure they can't be swept by minesweepers, and the first 100 enemy ships ought to be taken care of by those, since they each have enough explosives to destroy an enemy ship of any size.
149. You build World Ships with no components and then send colonizers to them to try to establish colonies on them.
150. You annhilate unarmed alien populations because you find it too much work to try to use troops.
151. Your empire has a super-powerful technology, which you can't learn how to pronounce.
152. You can't even pronounce "nuclear".
