Yep, Rollo is doing damage. My entire military was focused on the Yvelon and Irra-Nrr, plus a north fleet in case the Scron went hostile. I never expected a betrayal from the Space Vikings so my east was barely defended. The fleet he killed consisted of a half dozen green untrained warships, while (judging by the hit/miss ratio) his fleet was veteran or maybe even legendary.
He has also shown me the value of the extra 30% defense you get from putting all armor types on your ships...
So in order to destroy his fleets I need overwhelming numbers...which I have, just not in the right place. What's worse, he's capturing essential planets rather than destroying them, hurting my economy while he boosts his own. My weapon platforms were useless and I am now convinced that the *only* viable planet defense is...ships. Lots and lots of ships.

Will keep you posted, as I scramble to put up defense and redirect my fleets.
