I'm still curious as to where I set down any outcomes, conclusions, or anything really. You keep acting as if we started the battle and I just said "I win and don't lose anything" and it's getting rather dull. Sure, maybe you wanted me to attack your capital ships and maybe that's exactly what I did. But that doesn't really make it a good thing on your side now does it? You lost a command ship right away, and your frigates didn't have the firepower to take out Providence class ships. They would have been destroyed easily enough had they continued to be so close to the other ships. Their speed didn't mean anything when they were moving THROUGH the lines of my fleet. You only had one ship that could do much damage to them and that was the last remaining command ship which, you were apparently going to try boarding one of the ships with. If you had tried that, the ship would have likely been heavily damaged just trying to get close enough to board, if not destroyed entirely.

I didn't make any absolute decisions except for one which was a mistake on my part and I meant to leave it open for you to fend off the boarding pods. The only time I decided the outcome of the fight was when you disappeared and I got the okay from Sigma to move on from the fight. 

Honestly I preferred to pretend it never happened as it seemed unlikely they would have appeared so instantaneously after the other fleet had been destroyed, as they were going to warp out of the sector the moment they had what they wanted. Your timing seemed a bit like metagaming just to start a fight. Admittedly I didn't notice that anyone even controlled that sector, but even still (And I know I didn't specify this) it's not as if the Black Hand just sat around waiting for hours on end for the other fleet. They warped in shortly before the acclamators showed up, destroyed them, and then were going to leave. But instead, your fleet seemed to show up in a matter of moments.
