What's the Worst that could happen?

My ally begged me to send a huge fleet into X system to meet up with his so that we could jointly attack an enemy. Upon entering the system, my ally blew up the star and then invaded opened a warp point to my home system and invaded my homeworld forcing my surrender. It was a crushing defeat.

Ouch. That seems a little underhanded to me. I could never do that to someone, even if it is just a game! I like to play fair when it comes to allies!

My biggest whipping was in the Shattered Hopes game Douglas talked about

I was on the receiving end of a significant number of those star destroyers. I was in either 1st or 2nd place, but after that one turn, I had one system left where douglas's star destroyer had taken the wrong path. However, as you can imagine, that system didn't last long either...

Was fun while it lasted, and I must admit, it was a fun game, even how it ended for me

I learned early on Shields 10.

The largest defeat I ever dished out was against an A.I. In one game, the a.i. seriously had me outnumberd (were talking a three to one ship ratio here). I had myself botled up, defending my warp points with fortress worlds. What's a fortress world? It's a sphereworld with nearly 40+ null space gun weapon platforms, 200,000 points of shielding, and a two hundred ship defense fleet.

Anyways, the Kaelons (the a.i. I was up against) sent something like a five hundred ship fleet through. The battle took me nearly and hour and a half to finish, but I ended up winning.

Worst defeat? well, i few weeks ago, on a PBW game i'm still playing so i wont give much info, basically i tought the enemy ships would take longer to arrive, ofcourse that didn't happened they wipe out my major fleet and most of my empire planets are now undefended (and my income is negative right now, min & rads), the rest of my fleets were on the other side of my empire, so, by the time they arrive (if they do, because they're being disbanded because lack of resources) there wont be much left.
