And I can't get my ships back, either.
But, to suggest a restart is unpalatable for the following reasons:
(1) I still maintain the bigger mistake was made by my opponent (whether he forgot or not) so I should not be "punished" the most. By the most, I mean put at a disadvantage of a restart for reason #2 below.
(2) Knowing how my empire is set up gives him more of an advantage. While I also know his, his setup is flawed (in my opinion) and it is he who would gain the most by knowing I have, for example, chosen Propulsion. This, is in ADDITION to knowing my propensity for fighters when mines are not available.
(3) The beginning of a game is boring as hell! I hate KotH default settings where you have to check off all the required research blocks and do all the required colonizing. But I do that in anticipation of an exciting middle and end game. Why else would you think I suggest full tech games so often? So, I don't want to do that again by throwing 35 turns away.
