Who said the big stack was mine

Poor little me just popped a scout through a warphole and found a little more than I think I can handle (in one go).

Hmmm, maybe I can sacrifise a few ships on a test

Since its not my ships it must be up to the still anonymus owner. If he wants to post, then I have no objections.

Well if we can get the Langaneet to surrender I think we can avoid this. I know the side I'm on can put 3600 ships into one square all by themselves.

Makes ya pine for SE3's total lack of the one vehicle per square rule, eh?

I usually believe that there is never Overkill, there is only "just-enough-kill." But That is so far beyond Just-Enough-Kill!

That's madness. Utter frickin madness. I hope I NEVER play a game where I have to even think about having that many ships. Gawd.

Damn Spoo, don't you just hate naming all those base space yards? Is there any faster way of doing it than entering each one separately as it is constructed and re-naming it by hand? If there is, please tell me, since I'm still constructing mine...

Try naming the designs with the planet name before you put them in the queue. You end up with a lot of designs that are all the same just with different design names, but you don't have to rename the bases once they are built.
