Would that be the "back off" strategy? I see you halted the big fleet. But, of course, made one just as big somewhere else!

Just where do you get all those resources!?!?

Off to bed for me. After all, there are lots of people wanting to ask why their monitor doesn't come one.

Their systems would work a lot better if people like you and me did not go around unplugging them..

Yep, winner for today was one of our own IT staff. She called about being unable to see the domain. So, we ran through all the IP address (DNS, WINS, default gateway, etc.). Finally, I asked if she had the LAN cable plugged in. I guess you know the answer to that!

but why did you unplug her cable in the first place?

Question:
Can 20 of your BCs take out 70 of my Expendables.

Well, you don't have 70 "Expendables" in one location. They are split up. So, in that case, I think I can.

But, not if they were all in the same location at once! That's a sure thing. And remember, your missiles can't take out satellites. So, you'll be losing those destroyers quickly.

Almost every fleet has 70 ships or more.

I have no intention of going through your sat guarded warp points. That is why I sent Capt Hapless through. Well, actuly he did not voluter so we rewired his navagation equipment. You should have heard his Last words....

I expect if I can support that many ships I must have quite the installed research base. hmmmm....

BTW: What's up with that Suicide Captain. Do all of your scouts go around attacking a fleet of 70 ships?????!!! What did he do at the imperial court to draw that mission?? Was he caught messing with the admerals daughter?

"Almost every fleet has 70 ships or more."

Yeah, but not 70 Expendables...just 70 or more ships of one kind or another.

"I expect if I can support that many ships I must have quite the installed research base. hmmmm...."

Not sure about the research base (since it doesn't have much to do with maintaining ships) but you must have plenty of resources...

"BTW: What's up with that Suicide Captain. Do all of your scouts go around attacking a fleet of 70 ships?????!!! What did he do at the imperial court to draw that mission?? Was he caught messing with the admerals daughter?"

Captain Hapless's twin lesbian sister. She wanted a sex change operation so she could be just like him but was turned down. Then, it seems, she decided to go out in glory like her brother did.

I see the stress of deep space must have gotten to her. Pooor girl / guy what ever you organics call them.

BTW: is the game set to run on Last player uploads without a time limit?

Turns are taking me an hour sometimes. Kinda draining.
