[@Sophrus] Jolly plan. I was thinking on kicking your butt the first few times cause all your tricks are already known, but I'm happy you thought about that. Suicide drones ftw.

Well, the tactics will have changed somewhat, fleet doctrine and combat will still be largely similar although new weapons will be on the pipeline rather quickly. However when they do lash out at the empire it will be a different ball game than the defensive war the empire faced before. i wont say what the plan is, but i think you will be rather surprised by my plan. 

on a side note, given the strained relationship with the empire what kind of fleet/army would be in permanent assignment at the planet? i am expecting a rather large force given pirate activity and general animosity, although the pirates rarely field anything larger than a small cruiser.
