has anybody managed to beat the computer when its rated at "ingenious". if so, could you share your secrets. i keep getting slaughtered - they seem to be able to build huge battlefleets faster than i can build satellites to defend myself. and when i try to attack them, they have usually over 200 ships at a planet, and i get wiped out. -- thomas willett Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta gt4586c@prism.gatech.edu "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." - Salvor Hardin (Foundation)
