Evidence That Your An Idiot Emperor If:

[Alneyan]

You do not actually need a weapon for such designs, unless you want to make them enter the fray as soon as the battle starts.

But you are not mean enough with a mere handful of escorts; you should back them by a few Storm Creators instead. Some wonderful combat to-hit minuses and shield removing storms would certainly be a nice addition for your boarding fleet. Of course, you still need to lure the enemy to your trap, and a few Security Stations would ruin your day, but if it does work... bring the champagne!

[Ed Kolis]

Here's an excuse to enter the trap then...
85. You send your ships into random storms "because that's their mission, isn't it? To explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and civilizations, explore uncharted anomalies?"

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Don't think that one really works. A spaceyard ship could be hiding in the storm, so it would then be a good idea to explore it.

86. You suddenly realize that all of your most trusted advisors are true blonds (not just the hair color).

[Colonel]

87. You nuke your own home planet
