I am playing a game set on High diff with medium bonus. I had expanded to about 8 systems and had about 24 planets... Shields V, DUC 5, Armor 5 (scattering)... and then I saw it, a Xi'chung Hive Fleet of 17 ships... they glassed every planet I had in the system. So I thought, I'll show em, and sent about 10 ships to the next nearest system (expecting them to disband their fleet, surely it is a fluke)... nope, they glassed the next system and then warped to my home system... it was at this point I decided a new game was in order. Before I did though, a SECOND fleet of 18 Xi'chung ships appeared behind the first - it was a beautiful sight
