(Quotation from the protocol of the 216911th General Assembly of the Council of Elders)
After evaluating the results of the most recent Strategic Simulations (also known as AI Dead Match Contest) the Council of Elders has concluded:
1.)
New combat strategies must be developed to reduce the losses of ships and especially crewmen. We accept that this may lead to more fights ending in a stalemate without destroying enemy ships and/or planets but to preserve the lives of our brave crewmen is of much greater value.
2.)
Our mine laying and sweeping ships need more defensive qualities.
3.)
The construction queues for vehicles have to be optimized.
4.)
Relying only on fighters for planetary defense is unsufficient. Additional weapon platforms using advanced weapon technology are to be developed and integrated into the planetary construction queues.
5.)
The usefulness of Defense Ships was rated too high. This approach didn't fulfill our expectations at any moment. All Defense Ships have to be integrated into Attack Fleets while keeping their original weaponry.
6.)
Based on new knowledge about Stellar Manipulations and Monolith technology our research activities have to be altered. The facility construction queues must be adjusted accordingly particularly regarding storage capacities.
7.)
We wanted to make this quadrant a hospitable and peaceful place for everyone. Our great achievements in Stellar Manipulations technology, our efforts to build and maintain the ships capable of creating suns, destroying storms, nebulaes and black holes were dedicated to this honorable purpose. We used vast amounts of resources for that. It was our hope by giving this example to convince all those cruel and bloodthirsty races out there of the benefits of peace and cooperation. We failed profoundly. What we received was our stellar manipulations ships being destroyed and their crews killed. We are not willing to tolerate that any longer.
It is decided now that the EEE will use stellar manipulations ships in the future. However, their purpose will be destruction, not creation.
8.)
Our new point of view regarding the use of stellar manipulation technology does not and will not effect our striving for peace. Peace remains the most honorable goal to be achieved. We will honor our allies and treaties in the future like we did in the past.
However, any race who shed the blood of our people will be repaid tenfold.
We learned our lesson: Sometimes the striving for peace is not enough, sometimes you must fight for it.

Quotation from the protocol of the 196902nd meeting of the Standing Committee for Defense
I'm pleased to announce that we accomplished all of the duties given to us by the most honorable General Secretary after the Last assembly of the Council of Elders. Our steps and proposals were evaluated by the Elders and discussed with our allies. I'm not willing to talk about details here in public but as you may take from the attached data files it was worth the effort -

Yes, I know, we are still far from being perfect but I can assure you: We are much better than we were three months ago.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
