Yeah, GrandpaKim just hit me pretty hard with an approximately 20 ship fleet of 800kT Light Carriers. Combination of fighters and heavy mounts overwhelmed my fleet of about 30 destroyers and light cruisers.

I had used that strategy vs. the AI before, but I don't think I ever quite got that big of a fleet of carriers together this soon. Seems to be very effective.

And, we now have the first finished game in the second round. Grandpa Kim has three 20-ish strong fleets of light carriers running around capturing all my planets, and one of them slaughtered what I think would have been my last hope, a fully trained fleet I had guarding a warp point. My colonies are beginning to riot, most of them are either Unhappy or Angry... not a very good situation. I just sent in my surrender.

Good luck to everyone else in their Round 2 games, and good luck to Grandpa Kim for your semi-final game
