All Time favorite SE moment

[Cyclop]

Playing my first pbw game, assuming another player's race that was doomed but winning the game by forcing the stronger apponent to surrender due to massive riots. I sent fighter over planets to hover and never attack. Pretty cheezy now but 2+ years ago it worked.

Now it has to be using a star destroyer to eliminate huge fleets or building massive amount of star bases at a warp point that destroys waves of 200+ ships w/o a dent.

Best actual moment are opponents who think outside the box and are not predictable.
