No I don't. Actually up to about turn 70 I thought you had a good chance to win. You were in 1st you know. When I started this game I told myself I wasn't going to do anything silly, just kill you with the pure economic might I have made in the past. So what did I do? Everything but build a big empire. Around turn 70 I started to build like mad. 90k to 350k resources in about 20 turns. Why I didn't do it sooner I just don't know.

Up to around turn 85, I never had more than 35K in research. Left me with DUCs the whole game (surprised to see that on your ships by turn 93). When I launched my assault in 3 different locations, I had 129 ships, which were slow to build because I couldn't afford retro-fitting. Also, something weird in the Balance Mod I never noticed...all asteroid fields are 300% but the first time you mine one, it drops to 250% (and then a single percent after that). Strange.
It was an exciting game despite the game's inability to place people equally spaced over the galaxy (one of the biggest problems with the game, in my opinion, because it tends to detract from playability more than other problems that still remain).
I'll get to the site tonight and we'll see how many points you snatched
