Speaking of which, the original hivemind force had what, 40 to 50 forces, right Darkwolf?

And if a single fleet is 101 ships, with one of them being a Dreadnought, then why did you call in so much help, Duck? You outnumbered him 2 to 1. You made it seem like the fleet that was originally protecting NC was small, and underpowered. Then you got in about 120 allied ships from the Saz., and then 600 from the Terrans.

Darkwolf, how [i]did[/i] you survive? Being outnumbered so much at enemy homespace would surely lead to death, especially if the defense station crews have already faced battle- this one is not nearly so deadly or threatening.
