Agreed.

In all the simultaneous games I've played, this is the absolute #1 priority issue that would make the biggest improvement.

The slaughter one side or the other (lopsided battle outcomes) is probably the thing that still disappoints me a bit.

The drastic results are expanded by the sizes of the forces clashing. Just once, I would love to see to equally massive forces fight it down to the Last few ships.

I somehow believe this proposal would remedy the issue. You have my vote (and the vote of my friends). Great idea.
