*Sighs* You may say whatever you want Slynky, Last turn was a killer for me. I just lost a whole fleet, twelve fighters (right, that isn't exactly important) and your weapon platforms are doing a fine shop at repelling my skirmishers. Great. On top of everything, I am no more leading as far as score is concerned.
It seems like I gambled, and lost. Nevertheless, I will try to hurt you at least, although the situation seems hopeless now. Twelve of his cruisers are heading towards my systems, while I don't think I have the firepower to hold him off. Still, I managed to make him doubt and even survive five years.
So unless the impossible happens, Slynky should win in no more than a few turns. And Lastly, Geoschmo, it isn't hard to learn when you forget (or rather, delay too much) sensors and ECM among other things.

This time, I *merely* forget to change the basic ship strategy of my carriers, and here we go, ten of them went down will all hands. *Grumbles*
