Before his attack ships could reach me, my obsolete ships destroyed his repair ships, troop transports, mine sweepers, and sensor ship.  That truly made a hopeless game a lot of fun.

 Heh heh. Beautiful!         
 Yes, it was satisfying.  And somewhat practical.  He stalled there to regroup, and I got to show some other players I could at least hold my own.

 Or defend it heavily, and make sure you have some recon on the other side of that warp point to give you a hint if something is on its way to pay a visit. 
 
SpaceBadger Point was, you can't really defend each planet against all threats.  And warp point combat is tricky sometimes.  But combat in deep space is a more even playing field.
