And congratulations on that you finally managed to destroy one Death Star (it was under privateer control for a maximum Rob Fuel effect - rob up to 2597 fuel with one ship :D). According to Klemens, it was his bad that he did not realize you had a T-Rex as well in addition to your Godzilla.

yay! Yes, I put all my ships to beamup 1 fuel and enemy privateer. I expected him to tow away my Godzilla to be destroyed, but was pleasantly surprised to find him directly attacking those ships :)

Well, according to your second screenshot, snouka (the Bird) never had a chance. It's great to see that he managed to recover somewhat.

Yes, he was screwed from the start :) His departing ship was named: "Lizard Homeworld at Mao 5" or something like that. So I guess he did not like the start of the game much. He got some new homeworlds from the Cyborg later on, so he was able to recover a bit.

The Empire built 16 Bistro/Multitraf Death Stars, one of them was crapped (privateer pilot :P). I.e., when I had to fight more than one capital ship (Godzilla, Mon Calamari, Eraser Cube) I usually had a Super Star Destroyer at hand to prepare the dirty work. Or, in some cases, the enemy capital ships did not have enough torps or fighters on board.

Those things are a pain in the ass.. I build at least tripple the amount of Godzilla, but lost so many of them. And my poor bases barely manage to get the shields down of those Death stars.

And finally: Double thumbs up for using VPA! ;)

It's a shame you can only run it in a DOSBox in recent operating systems. Up to Windows XP (which I even used yet until around turn 60), the mixed mode version could be used.

Yup, I use VPA and PCC2. VPA just still is the fastest way for me to control my empire. PCC2 is nice, but it takes me more time (also lack of practise probably). It's super for simulating though.

Thanks for sharing your results, nice to see the other half of the universe :)
