I think the AI cheats a little

[Taqwus]

Hmmm. Might be coincidence, given how strangely it sometimes acts (like routing low-supply ships through a black hole sector...)

I've gotten my fair share of lucky hits in tactical, as well. Had a battle Last night, a nice simple one between my BC and an Eee DN, and my first hit (phased polaron ) took out their Combat Sensors III. Dang, that's sweet.
