Default Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?

Geoschmo vs Gecko
Year 2406.5

I flank Geoschmo’s warp point defenses with a large fleet, clear the minefield from HIS side of the warp point, slaughter his large fleet with basically no losses on my part and THEN get promptly whacked by a bunch of low-tech fighters to the tune of 60 plus ships. Why might you ask? Well, it seems that my all-armor ships will not ram the fighters in PBW. I guess I should have known this particular idiosyncratic wrinkle to SEIV?
