He meant that .... Unless you're his brother and he's sitting next to you, I don't we need to argue about what he meant . I understood it differently than you and I'd wager I'm not alone in that. Besides I was also making a general point.
Most people saying the game is too easy are not at maximum difficulty and are using settings they use to win and then they say its too easy.

There is no need for having a vote about the fate of the %s. - In the Build Ship menu from the planet screen the option at the top to build "Nothing" only appears when "All" ship types is selected, but it logically should also a
