One player upgraded his space stations twice, with -3 and -3 computers (2 of them), and 2 sets of missiles. He had just conquered the central hex, and placed 2 of these stations there. They were almost unbeatable! It meant he was rolling 8 dice, and hitting with anything over a 1. As it happens, he didn't roll a 1 so hit 8 times for 2 damage each time. Needless to say, my attacking fleet was obliterated.I did have missiles on my two attacking cruisers, which fortunately both hit, destroying both of his stations. Effectively we obliterated each other. But he simply built two more stations on his next turn, whereas I could not possibly hope to replace my fleet that quickly. Other players tried to take the middle from him, but he bolstered his stations with high initiative missile-equiped Interceptors, and had sufficient 1st shot firepower to wipe out anything we threw at him.
The game ended with that player holding onto the center as no one could dislodge him from it.
