Regarding the use of the Aethric mirror to flush enemies down Black Holes...

Of course, it might also be argued that it's not a "fair fight" — but when you've got crappy weapons, crappy shields and crappy systems, and there's three fleets of cloaked death waiting for you over that Urluquai homeworld, well… a "fair fight" just doesn't sound quite so appealing, does it?

I wouldn't feel bad about it for even a second...I doubt you get the points for the kills so there is some loss attached to it even if you do get the stuff from their planet. It ticks me off (to put it gently) when the game doesn't make anything available stronger than a Gauss cannon and you're stuck with a galaxy full of Tan Ru and Mother Vents or whatever those are called.

Or when you can't find anything faster than one Ruby Laser drive...But I was glad to finally figure out wormholes.
