It won't work. Admit you have lost.

That sounds like an epic game.

There is something to be said for going out swinging! He may go down, but he's not going down alone!

I'll let my actions talk for me from now on......

Btw, what do you people think of my plan B?
If I see that I'm about to loose my Last planets, I decided I'll give all those ships to one of my former enemies, who has stopped attacking me and now have a trade treaty with me, rather than having the ships stolen by intel attacks by an even worse enemy or being lost to maintnace shortage if I loose my planets...

It would propably tip the balance in his favour and give him the victory in this game, but I would see it as a well earned victory as he has played the diplomatic card better than his counterparts...

(I hope someone sees the subtle hint here and starts to make amends...if he want's to keep that little fleet that has irresponsibly found it's way into my territory... )

Plan B is ok. Losing them to maintenance problems is a legitmate issue if you are depending on trade income. But if you are just worried about losing them to intel attacks, you don't need to. Once you lose your Last planet the enemy can no longer attack you with intel because they they lose diplomatic contact.

Never give up, never surrender. If you can't defend, kill everything in sight. If you go, take as many with you as possible. Hehehehe

Ruatha,
Re your plan B
When you are out, you should be out. The spoils of war should either go to the winner, beeing dismantled or be left for the AI. Giving the ships away and throwing the game as a goodbye gift is a ****ty thing to do (IMHO).
