Now Wilson, I never said he had to leave, I used the word please. And while yes he can continue posting here, his opinions should no longer matter, and if they do then that is wrong as he left the RP. His word should have no more say in this RP.

As for what you said Wilson, that was not what I already stated wasn't it? However there is still 3 ways they can do a prolonged engagement.

A.Shut down weapons so power is not consumed as fast. That is costly though as you loose a lot of firepower.
B.Lug around freighters with the fleet. They have to be unarmed though or retro-fitted with hangar bays as you don't want them consuming the fuel meant for the fleet.
C.Be around a planet under EU control. Each planet as atleast one fuel depot, and this is the one option that does not come with disadvantages. However you can't exactly move planets, so this is a purely defensive option.

And I am going to do all I can avoid war with the Draconians, I do not want 5 fronts to deal with. And you never answered the question of how many ships you had.
