Primitive -vs- Geoschmo 2403.2

We met fairly early. Before turn ten, and this is on a Tesco map too. I think maybe we were lucky on that though and both sent early ships in the same direction.

The Primitive one has made heavy use of fighters early to considerable effect. I had some problems taking them out. Much more so then I remember ever having before. Lost more then a few escorts and frigates. The ships with no PDC just can't hit his fighters at all.

I did finally overwhelm his defenses in that system and have taken a colony and few million Primitives. Though intellectually inferior we have discovered they can be taught remedial tasks well enough to be useful. And they have the advantage of being able to live on planets with no atmosphere. We are relocating them now.

So we wait for the counter attack, or if it takes too long we move on forward. More to come.
