Heheh. I personally don't want balanced fleets (anymore) unless we  
have more tactical maneuver choice or vested interest in ship survival	
(e.g. victory conditions). I've gotten to the point where reducing two	
3000 point fleets to an empty missile frigate vs. a crippled cruiser  
and calling it a victory is unsatisfying. Maybe it took years to do  
it, but there I am.
