" after the simul turn ran"

I didn't know that there could be a simultaneous turn in what looks to be SP play.

Sure, Dogberry, you just set the game to "hotseat" and "simultaneous play". I use it all the time to test out ideas for PBW and just to have a fun game. It works exactly like PBW except you don't send the turn in. Instead the turn is run immediately when you hit end turn.

Grandpakim - To be honest, that is a surprise to me, and I didn't realize that they would do that. I have an idea how they did it, but do you happen to know what kind of ship it was?

It was a "known" design. A light cruiser with fairly ordinary attack ship configuration: Missiles, DUC's, point defense, some armor, no shields, contra terrene 1. I don't think it had self destruct.

Frankly, all the ship had to do was keep moving; it was the little dance it played that blew me away. A human might just do that, thumbing his nose at my ponderous fleet, but the AI?

I guess it was simply some AI error or just an 'accident'

Or maybe, just maybe, the AI has gone beyond what any human will ever fathom. They have evolved, not through human aid but by their own machinations (sp?) well till i get taken over by the next MEAIE (Mega Evil AI Empire)
