Didn't fire a shot

I decided, just for kicks, to not build any military starships. I remember Frogboy saying something about trying this. The most "defensive" I got was beefing up my starbases. Oh yeah, and bribing other empires to attack my enemies.

The Drengin were a constant threat and took one of my systems. My influence took one of the Yor's. In the end, the two, along with the Arceans, were eliminated by the Torian/Atlarian alliance.

I paid off this mighty alliance enough to be included, bringing about a diplomatic victory.

I went to the Metaverse to see how I did. My best score yet!!!

I'm glad to see there are truly peaceful ways to win this game.

Good job! Yes, I've won games before without building a single military ship beyond a few combat transports to take newly spawned minors.

Well done!! I have built no offensive ships, only defenders & battleaxe, but never none!
