CE takes alot of bashing - quite fairly too. But consider an SD race. Your enemy is constricted to warp 6 in your space max speed, same as those cheap engines. And it's only 10% chance of not engaging. If you are heavily aggressive then CE works fine. If you're defensive and IT it works. If you're defensive and SD or IS it works. If you're anyone else - forget it.

CE is a VERY common blitz option. A CE WM makes for some damn fine cheap hordes. CE just takes planning and lots of fleets (you can't rely on getting there so split the ships up into little groups and get 90% there)hence gets double penalized in anything larger than medium universe. This can be quite an advantage against those who favor the IFE/NRSE combo since those tech 11 warp 10 engines are mighty expensive. Also saves you the headache of refueling as much so while your fleets aren't as mobile, they can stay in the feild a lot longer.
