Sitrep : My fleet was 2X as small as my enemy 's and he was going to kick my but (at least he was thinking it).
Now the only problem for him and my stupid advisor was that I out teched him 3:1 and my pockets were deeper than the galacy.
So he took one planet ....after that I took 10 and blew his fleet back to his cave.
I don't know,but the game seems to have trouble estimating how much potential crap I can put on him.Even my adviser said I should be worried because their army was bigger than mine and their economy was too.Well too bad all those crappy ships got blown up one by one.Does the AI even bother checking your tech level or pocket book?
The moral : better one good bird than 20 fossils.
