        Yeah, that place. I made the mistake of “conquering” the xenon sector and having to deal with all the assaults with my own ships. If I’m not around manually piloting, those Q ships will destroy at least one of my destroyers per incursion. I’ve also learned the hard way that small craft are only good as cannon fodder, a swarm of 30x can get shot down to 7 in 5 minutes.

          I think the simulation logic was changed somewhat with recent updates, because fighters are (in my run) really hard to ignore – enemy fighters hinder my heavies’ ability to run away, and my own fighters somehow kick ass against the former as long as I micro-manage them to fight fighters instead of the Torment Nexus itself.
