Well, for certain I have been in the "all my planets are rioting" club at times. Not sure about how many ships can be "taken" each turn because it seemed I lost several per turn. But I also remember it scrapping units as well.

That's why I said it "seemed". But, it also took units...lots of units as well. Maybe I just read over my dwindling assets and never noticed it only took one ship.

Unless someone objects I think it is time for me to surrender
I dont know if the Pandora class ship is a star distroyer or not but it doesnt matter. 2 of my planets are not rioting, so from lack of resources my ~60 ships should be gone next turn.
Good game

Year: 2406.0

Well, 5 turns since Last update and the good guys (that's Alneyan and me ) look to be ready for harvesting . A fleet (of Parabolize's) has broken through (with another 30+ ships behind it) a critical point in the map and it looks like we have no defenses in place to stop it.

Meanwhile, in the south, my ship building efforts seem to have been slow and any turn now, Electrum (who has been very silent) will break through and then there will be double trouble.

Sigh...looks like doom for the good guys. To make things even worse, Parabolize has taken the race I beat him with on 2 other full-tech games and flaunted his ability in my face . But I've always said he's a good player.
I think I missed some updates here. One moment the 'good guys' are about to be beaten, and now Parabolize is about to surrender.

More Updates please...

Baron, shifts in outlooks can change radically in full-tech games...especially when one wonders into a system with a ship named, "Pandora" cloaked over a star.
