Another TEC v VASARI question 2 Marzas lvl 10 (with maxed out missle upgrade in Military tree), 15 Kodiaks, 10 LRMS, 25 Lite Carriers(95 percent bombers), 15 Flak vs Vasari(Hard AI) 16 lite Carriers(mostly bombers), 15 Enforcers, the obligatory 5 seige frigs (Destructors or Devastators, can't remember at the moment), and 6 Subverters. Thanks to Missle Barrage I win the fight. I lose all may Kodiaks, and LRMs. 9 Flak, all carriers, and Marzas's survive i

Yeah, it looks like the game WAS left on over night. How long was the game played to get those numbers?

Key bindings, how do the experienced players setup their keyboards? I am sick and tired of the "click and drag" unit selecting. How can I take advantage of the games interface ( ship groupings, fleet management)? I get into battle and my ships just do whatever they want. Unless I tell them not to.

Early this morning I downloaded entrenchment and impulse stated that I needed to install the update once again and you guessed it, the game will not load and it kills my computer dead. No blue error screen, just black as death and if I move my mouse around I can see the cursor at the bottom
