Looking back I'd have to say I made some huge mistakes in this game. Early on I quickly research towards electronics 12, and spread my 98% cloaked frigates all over the galaxy to get a good picture of who was doing what. As usual, I made an assessment of who was the greatest threat in the universe. My assessment was dead wrong...

I identified the Pirates as the greatest threat, having spread all over the place already. Micha seemed to be holding his own against the continuing attacks from Iztok, and I figured that a few minesweeping cruisers sweeping Iztok's minefields would be enough to keep those two busy for a while.

After reaching Robber Baron Scanners, I quickly built a fleet to take out some planets (96% cloaked Jug BBs, 98% cloaked galleons, 98% cloaked RB frigates, and 98% cloaked Cherry Stealth Bombers), and took out the first Pirate planet. Since Wizard by that time had started attacking Pirate planets as well, I was moving in on one of his HWs without sweeping when Iztok launched the decisive attack against Micha, and was getting very close to reaching the victory conditions.

In stead of pushing the attack, and taking out Wizard's Southern HW, I regrouped, and flew towards Micha's last HW, arriving just in time to see it go up in smoke, and see Iztok retreat back to his own planets. I managed to take a large portion of the minerals, but realized right then that I had missed my window of opportunity on both fronts.

The rest is pretty simple: Iztok outproduced me easily with his 4-5 HWs against my 2, and my fleet went up in smoke trying to buy me some time by taking out Iztok's bombers. When my missile/bomber/freighter minerals stealing fleet just happened to land on one of Iztok's planets on the same year he decided to build a bunch of extra BBs, and Wizard launched a full scale attack on my 2nd HW, all that was left was a few lost ships. The rest of the game was just spent placing some small attacks here and there, and planting minefields with my 98% cloaked minelayers. Basically being a very tiny nuisance while watching the battle between Wizard and Iztok.

Overall I had a great deal of fun though, as SS players usually do, even if they lose the game. Smile
