Honestly, if you're complaining that there aren't enough tactical choices, you're a bad general to begin with.

Just built better ships, hit go, and win. That's way more satisfying than figuring out some trick.

Your opinions are pretty terrible, which is fine or whatever I guess. We're all lazy/lazier now and can't be bothered to flame people with any rigor. I just can't stand you running all over Caltrops proclaiming everyone's opinions are self-evidently terrible when you're saying shit like the above.

Tactics are not a trick of last resort for bad generals.
