Games tend to go quickly when you start so close together.
A good game nonetheless. You fought well. There wasn't much in the way of strategy, just build as many ships as I could as fast as I could and keep throwing them at you.
I was suprised that you didn't try to collect your ships for a large assault at the end there. You seemed to throw them at my fleet one and two at a time. Was there a concious decision there or just desperation?
That fleet was running on fumes at the end there. I didn't have enough fuel to run, and barely enough to take out the one homeworld that I managed to kill. It's possible that if you had held up your attacks for one turn to get a decent size fleet together you might have driven me out of your system. Of course I had already damaged you at that point and you hadn't gotten to any of my colonies so it probably wouldn't have mattered in the end. But you could have dragged it out for a while longer.
