Hi  folks,

Interesting discussion so far.	I've followed the  jump-gate-assault
part of
the thread quite closely, and it has got me  thinking about the kind of
game
I'd want to  play.

Okay, doesn't it seem strange to you that a set of cultures  that have
large 
star spanning universes have such (relatively) small  fleets?  I know
that 
increasing costs in 'our' world have reduced the size  of
navies/Airforces/armies 
in terms of absolute numbers but (assumption alert)  it seem that a
culture 
that can afford star spanning FTL should have overcome	some of the
economic 
limitations of our current situations?	I realize that	assumptions
drive the 
answer here but if the fleets were really that	(relatively) small no
one would 
risk them in combat because a single "Custer"  could cause an empire to 
collapse with one major loss.
 
Gracias,
