However I have a fleet of 4 destroyers and 8 frigates that moves ...

<t> It's also a common law that games pushed out before their ready get bad reviews and therefore can expect lower sales. I personally found out about Distant Worlds from a site giving it a perfect score and I want sites like that to continue to reward quality. We know the game is going to be ...
