Well, that could be the case, but its not consistent. I remember one solo game against TDM races where I had a sat group at an enemy planet. On one turn there was about 20 "combats' without a shot being fired-- they were too far apart!

Uh, PvK, assuming you are correct, how do you know that is the reason?
