No, I don't want you to play just to apease me. Maybe I am wrong about your position. All I know is that I got a few battles that went OK. Captured a few ships (to disect). And I got into first place for the first time. I have 84 ships. About 50 are on the front lines and the other are being trained or repaired. I do have something else going on (I have sneaked several ships behind your front lines...but that was only done in an effort to divert your attention from attacking me...maybe just a nuisance).

As to your questions:

I have training facilities...Advanced research. Only one research beyond that gave me hyper optics...enough to see your stealth ships. I have sats in all the systems near the battle fronts so I can see your ships if they were with stealth armor.

As to hulls, only recently did I move to LC. RexTorres whipped the s--t out of me with destroyers (combat components and training make them extra hard to hit), so I spent most of the game with those hulls...not because of research but because they were what kicked my *** before...in the KOTH match.

If you feel that strongly about your position, then surrender it is. Allow me to say this: This is the first game where someone surrendered to me when I thought it unlikely. Adding...I'd play a team game with you anytime. You are a good player.
