Re: OT-Favorite SE4 Moment!!!
Late game, two battleships cruising Drushocka space (an enemy at this point); I'd been glassing planets with these ships for a few turns - nothing special, just AP Beams on one ship, DUCs on the other, and the Drushocka bring in a fleet of 6 DNs. I figure I'm in trouble, but I want to see the designs so I use tactical combat. The silly Drushocka have researched high-energy weapons, and replaced their dangerous organic weapons with Ripper Beams. Which, of course, are dangerous if you let the enemy close, but a DN doesn't usually get a chance to close with a battleship. Especially ones with Quantum Engines and Solar Sails and Propulsion Expert trait. Those two battleships single-handedly defeated the Drushocka - multiple fleets, lots of planets, defense sats, etc. Ship and fleet experience were both legendary by the end of the war. I hated to quit that game, but a new patch came out...
