What darkwolf said, and if both/all players agree to a certain result of ANY battle regardless of size then you can skip comparing Fleet Strength. If you want to play out a story with your Ace bomber pilots wreaking havoc on somebody else and you two agree then it is full steam ahead! The purpose is to keep it away from: "lol i hop in with super ships and autohit rek u kid" so that those who play for the story have an easier time against those who... don't.

So it's kinda like Endless Space or one of those games, where you can either be lazy and hit "AUTOATTACK" where it's just pitting FS# against FS#, with whoever has more winning, versus manually taking control and giving orders and stuff.
