As much as I'm sure you would like it to have been a stalemate, that would be very unlikely. You didn't research the fleet OOC to gain the knowledge you needed to bring in a proper fleet, which wouldn't have been metagaming since your fleet could have done their own IC scouting. You brought frigates to fight battleships and dreadnoughts, with only 2 command ships as heavy support, and then you left one behind when it got attacked. It's up to you to fight them off, but instead you just accepted every attack I made as a success. So let's not talk about things being 'less fun' when it was you who accepted the level of damage. As I said, as much as I'm sure you'd love a stalemate that would be highly illogical. Chances are your fleet was completely destroyed. The Black Hand had nobreason to retreat from the battle and it's unlikely they took any capitol ship losses. They likely took heavy fighter/bomber losses however.
