The defense fleet defaults are challenging, but tedious. The Dominator plug changes fleet strengths for all planets so that battles are bigger, but much briefer. Instead of endless waves of a few ships each, 38 ships come out at once (or as soon as there is room) Sure, if you want to be super cheesy, you can load up on space bombs and place a couple on the planet before demanding tribute (just watch out for random ships warping in while you do it, doh! :-) Or you could further cheese out by MPing everything to death. Bah! TEDIOUS! No, go for the glory of the fight! Dive in guns a-blazing! Perhaps today is a good day to die! Soon the universe will blaze green with your power! I submitted the plug to the folks at the escape-velocity.com archive and have also made it available from my personal area: ftp://www.steptools.com/pub/loffredo/evo_dominate.hqx Happy conquering! - Dave
