A Swan Song for the Champion

It's time to go even further.

Keith has said that nebula rewards are eating the dirt, and other vague (which is when Keith is the scariest) things will happen.

I need to give the champion campaign a strong hurrah before this happens. To show just how fair one can go with the goal of the HW defense policy.

I will now turn on CSG's and only hold non HW planets long enough to steal their K as I sit snug in my HW. It kinda counters my philosophy, but I conclude I need to do it to reduce the cheese factor enough so it doesn't kill other players upon first contact.

Following my usual fare, my updates are terrible.

Here I am so far:

Battleship? Check.
Now to start knocking down CSG's. I face the unique conumdrum of my usual minors getting mad about colony ships, which is causing some wrinkles in the picking of my shields to take. I can deep strike easy. Colonizing deep striked planets? Not so effective.

(I would love an potential upgrade to colony ships that are decent combat ships who happen to also be able to colonize)
